Lapsed already...

[magnetic_pole]

Already I've fallen short on one of my new year's resolutions: I need to bring several unread novels back to the library tomorrow before they're overdue. Three-plus weeks into the new year, and despite my best intentions I've everything I've read has been either 1) work-related non-fiction or 2) on the internet. And it's not that I don't love the internet--I do--but occasionally I'd like to read a good book, which is a very different experience.

Have you been struggling with any new year's resolutions, flist?

I don't really do resolutions per se, but I was planning on cutting back on caffeinated drinks but so far I think there's only been a handful of days this year where I didn't have some sort of tea or soda. *headdesk*

oh, yes. I have hooked myself up to Fitbit, and promised the very modest goal of an extra 300 steps a day, and cant seem to manage that. I blame it on frigid weather this week. le sigh.

The food-and-drink resolutions are the hardest for me. :( M.

Wow, I'd never heard of Fitbit (had to look that one up)--interesting! But, yes, blaming the weather is completely legitimate, IMHO. Somehow the snow and cold have got everything off track this week, even things that don't seem to be related... M.

I meant to say something about every book I read on Goodreads. A sentence. A sentence fragment!

It's still salvageable, I don't think I've already forgotten anything, but what are the odds.

Thank you for the card! It is above my desk.

At least you're reading things you want to comment on! Yay, you! :)

More seriously, I want to take a harder look at what it takes for me to make a positive change in my life. It's not that it doesn't ever happen, but that I'm never sure what's going to work and what will fall by the wayside. Perhaps being a bit more self-conscious about the project will work where willpower doesn't.

Glad the card arrived! Whew, made it before lunar new year, at least... M.
