Do I dare make resolutions for the New Year? Should I give a shout-out to 2005 that I'll do what I say I'll do? Or would I be lying?
I made one major one for Rosh Hashanah -- I joined a women's-only health club, planning to go at 6 a.m. 3-5 days a week when said club opens its doors. But my resolution has fizzled so far -- no 6 a.m. visits have been made, and I've only gone about 8 times since I joined 2 1/2 months ago.
Should I pick up on that resolution and re-resolve to visit the club religiously...or at least VISIT THE CLUB?
I think I'll put it on my list of things to do. But in no particular order, I should also resolve to:
* Follow through with what I set forth in motion, ie. querying publishers about picture-book manuscripts or poetry that I have written, requesting they view my work. I have been given the green light from several, but have not taken that next step. I should.
* Keep writing personal essays, poetry, children's books. I should not just list the titles and ideas I have for creative pieces, but should actually breathe live into these projects.
* Make time for me.
* Make more time for my husband and children...and parents and siblings and their families.
* Enjoy each moment to the best of my ability because time is fleeting.
* Continue to strive to be the best person that I can be.
* Continue to look for the good in the people around me, even if it's not so obvious.
* Continue to be thankful to Hashem for all that I am, all that I have and all that I can be.
Wishing you all a Good Shabbos. Wishing you a bright and beautiful 2005.
