decide

It seems that most of the blogs I have read this week are addressing this whole New Year's Resolution thing, so I decided that I wasn't going to do that. But I guess now that I've mentioned it, I'm doing it, aren't I? Quite frankly, I don't feel that strongly one way or the other about making them or not. If you do - great. If not - great too. I'm not sure it matters either way. As for me, sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Last year I decided to lose weight, so I lost fifty pounds. This year I would like to lose another fifty. We'll see.

Mostly, I think this is a good time of year to reflect on what you have done, and decide what you can do better. It is a clean start for those who need it. Although, I do think that you can make these decisions at any time. You don't need a new year to decide that it's time to get organized or eat right or get a better job. If the time is right, you can do these things at any time. For me, I can do anything I set my mind to. That is, if I make the conscious decision to do it. Once I have made the commitment in my mind, I can do it. Until then, well...

So what resolutions (read: decisions) have you made for yourself this year? And do you have the resolve to follow through with them?

Best of luck to you this 2006!
