Everyone around me is proclaiming their 2010 resolutions…”no more chocolate for me”, “that’s it! I am off desserts”, “I am going to the gym everyday”, “no more caffeine”, “I am only going to drink 2 glass of wine a week”…give me a break!
Every single one of these resolutions are temporary, we all fall off the wagon eventually – usually sooner rather than later and really isn’t it all just about getting a better offer? Sure we’ve all probably “over done it” a little during the holidays and just that fact that you feel like you need to make a resolution tells me you are paying enough attention to what is going on in your life that you are likely going to change that behaviour without stomping your feet, throwing your hands on your hips and announcing your feeble intentions to anyone that will stand still long enough.
Well, I resolved a long time ago not to make any resolutions, ever. I know ate too many butter tarts last month, well guess what? They are all gone and my mom isn’t sending anymore so that isn’t going to be a problem, I know I ate too much cheese last month, well guess what? It’s all gone and I will have to drive into Vancouver to get more so that isn’t likely to happen anytime soon either. I drank too much wine, but hey – let’s be real, that isn’t going to change anytime soon. I am going to keep drinking coffee, eating chocolate, fantasizing about bacon and sleeping late when I should be at yoga but I am going to do my best to do everything with a bit more moderation this year. I am aware of my vices and need to be able to manage them but hey, life’s short and I am not going to be jumping on and off the resolution wagon because it’s the start of a new year and hey guess what? There will be another one next year. So eat, drink and continue to be merry we shouldn’t just have that much fun with our friends and families once a year, we should be doing it much more often and have more reasons to make resolutions more often. Happy New Year !
