Well, it's that time of year. When everyone makes resolutions. "I'm gonna lose weight/quit smoking/get healthy/get a new job/etc" And the funny thing is that we all know, subconsciously at least, that it's a bunch of crap. We make these grand plans for the year and then give up on them in two weeks. The ritual of New Years Resolutions is ridiculous.
So I'm here to make a non-New Years Resolution. Akin to an Unbirthday from Alice in Wonderland, this is a resolution made on any other day than New Years. Because, honestly, we can change our lives at any point throughout the year; we don't need the year to start over for us to follow suit.
I've been on this particular leg of my journey for the past year and a half and, needless to say, it has had its ups and downs. Most recently, I had been thriving: working out every weekday and eating healthy. And then, as happens this time of year to so many people, I fell off the wagon. Obviously, I knew that this would happen, so I'm not beating myself up for it or anything, but it's still an issue.
So, I'm getting back on the horse.....again. Not as a New Years Resolution, but just as yet another time in my life when I have to pick myself up, dust off, and try again.
Oh, and here is the Unbirthday song, just for the heck of it. :)
A Very Merry Unbirthday
