New Year's Resolutions
It seems the kind of people who are really good at making changes in their life do not put much stock in new year's resolutions. For the rest of us though they can seem to offer a magic way of making our best intentions stick. This time, this year, it's going to be different. And even though you know your resolve is unlikely to stretch past the next couple of days, as you go to bother of putting into words just what sort of changes you want to see you cant help but feel a certain sense of hope, excitement and relief that a new year means a fresh start. Yes, of course all us adults know that the click-your-heels-together-and-say-the-special-words type of magic isn't really real. But maybe just maybe this time the magic will work and everything will be as it should be without any hard work or any personal comforts having to be sacrificed.
Oh yes it's all too clear now, after reading it there in plain black and white, that's it's the acceptance that change does demand sacrifice that enables one to stick to their guns. But that's what most of hope for, isn't it?
Sometimes though when you really need to make some changes the sacrifices can feel as good, if not a whole lot better, than whatever 'comforts' you have to give up. That's what I'm telling myself anyway.
I'm not going to share all my new year's resolutions with you - mostly because they're terribly dull. I do have some twimii specific resolutions and these I am going to set in the virtual stone of this article:
New twimii resolutions
1. Learn the basics of cooking so that no one is poisoned by following one of my recipes (to this end I have just ordered a book online!)
2. Post 1 new recipe a week.
3. Get to point in the twimii story where she meets Mad Mary and ends up eventually being arrested.
Will these resolutions stick or fall away like so many resolutions of the past? I dunno. I guess time will tell.
Happy New Year!
