“All of us every single year, we’re a different person. I don’t think we’re the same person all our lives.” – Steven Spielberg
I’ve never been one for New Year’s resolutions. It’s always seemed to me that if I want to do something (or not do something), I should start as soon as possible, not wait for an arbitrary date on the calendar. Sometimes, the resolutions – regardless of when I start them – stick; some don’t. I figure that’s a constantly changing life.
That doesn’t mean that I haven’t tried a New Year’s resolution or two in the past. There was the year I resolved to be nicer to my sister (I was 10). I think it lasted a couple months before she really annoyed me. I also once resolved to spend more time cross-country skiing. That May, I moved from Seattle to Florida. So much for that! While I’m not hoping for snow, I may revisit that one now that I’m not in Florida.
