We do our best to adhere to these resolutions of self improvement and the like. January one and we have these ideas. Numbers on a scale, cigarettes we won't smoke, letters we say will write. Here we are almost one month in, and we go back to square one.
Nothing changed, nothing gained. The pressure of a new Presidential administration reminding us day in and out that there will be "change" coaxed us into changing things at home. For a day, or a week.
We go back to old habit, old habit is cozy like that T-Shirt you won't throw out. You know the one. It has a hole in the armpit, but it is so damned soft.
I wanted this year to be different. I started a food journal. I started a work out chart. I stopped a week later. No real reason, other than I didn't feel like it. I will get back to it today.
I have grown bored with me. We get to that point where we just quit quitting. Something makes us want to be more than what we are.
What motivates you? What makes you want to be more?
You are the only one that can make you want to improve.
So today is my first day as the new me. I have a new haircut, which will ignite what change I am capable of making. Nothing drastic, just more disciplined.
In the upcoming entries you will follow me, if so interested, in my relationship with my partner, with my job, and with my biggest enemy-me.
What I am listening to as I write- "Statues:Foo Fighters; First Night:The Hold Steady;I Like Birds:Eels;You Could Make a Killing:Aimee Mann
