New Years Resolutions. Did you make any?
Recently my son told me of his New Years resolution, which I am proud to say he has been following religiously. He then asked me what my resolution was… well, I don’t have one. So he asked his mother to which she responded “Son, when you get old like us you don’t really make them anymore.”
I thought about that for a little bit. Does anyone else make resolutions or at a certain age do you realize that every New Years resolution that you’ve ever made was broken just a few days later?
I actually started (and abandoned) a post with some resolutions. It included the following: Update my blogroll, play more golf w/my son, snap more pics for NTPL, take more hikes and ride more bikes with my kids.
Looking at it now, it seems my abandoned resolutions were born out of selfishness, guilt and things not done. My blogroll is horribly out of date (not done), my son always wants to play more golf with me (guilt), I’m running out of photos (the selfish part), and even though I do take many bike rides with my kids, I could probably improve on the number of hikes (guilt again).
So how am I doing with resolutions made and forgotten? I did update my blogroll, but it’s too cold to play golf, although we did play a round on the Wii. I haven’t taken many photos, but I did take a nice bike ride during the last break in the weather. I have not taken any hikes but not for the lack of want- the few warm days we’ve had were so wet any trail would have been one long puddle of mud.
At this point I’d say it’s a draw.

No resolutions here — although I probably should have resolved to blog more often and watch TV less often.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who hasn’t decided on a New Year’s Resolution. You reminded me. I think mine will be to get my house in order. We are bursting at the seems in our little starter house with two kids! How many bins can one family own?
