resolutions: january blog-o-sphere think tank.

********

in a previous life --

the one where it really didn't matter whom i hurt with my words and actions,

the one where i didn't even care if i hurt myself --  

i would make these 

"new year resolutions" 

believing that just because the year was new, i could shed the old me, the old ways,

just like a reptile sheds its skin. 

i would write out these resolutions and announce them to the world: 

these are the changes i am making. 

this will be the new me. 

and then the resolutions fell flat. 

belly up. 

gone and forgotten. 

in this new life i live, my awareness is more palpable, more real, 
all the more with concern for others, 
all the more with concern for my self. 

therefore, i live day to day. 
i make plans for each day, and at the end of the day, 
i take personal inventory. 
i examine how i did with that day's resolutions. 

new year's resolutions? 
no. 
new day's resolutions? 
you bet'cha'….
