Resolutions

Category:   Holidays

"Look not mournfully into the past.     It comes not back again.
Wisely improve the present.     It is thine.
Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear."
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 - 1882)

Every year, across the planet, there is the desire to make resolutions and set about to make changes in our lives with the turning of the calendar from one year to the next. It seems that the winding down of one year, and the beginning of a new one inspires so many as the perfect time to make lists with the hopes of becoming better, different, and more [ _______ fill in the blank]. It is as if January 31st is the only time that we allow ourselves to forget the past, and try to re-create ourselves into something entirely new and different.

To be quite honest, I don't want to forget the past . . . the past, each and every moment of it . . . has shaped who I have become thus far. Each fork in each road along the way has been a decision that added to the distinct and unique personality that is me, and even if I want to make these "so-called" resolutions to "adjust" certain aspects of my life, I never, ever want to lose the moments that brought me to this place in time.

I'll pop the cork and toast the arrival of 2005 on Friday . . . I just won't get caught up in all the resolution hype that accompanies ringing in the new year . . .

Susan Reno-Gilliland, known as "Miss Kitty," an Irish lass, a true Southern Belle; a writer, photographer, animal-lover, dreamer, stargazer, totally tangled (or is that entangled?) in relationships, slightly obsessive iNFp with stories to tell! . . . (fascinated by forensics, human behavior, pushing all the right buttons of men I find interesting, and seeking utterly-sweet revenge without any repercussions.) I am a Friday's Child. Friday's Child is loving & giving.
