DownloadDid you set a New Year’s Resolution for yourself?
How's that going?
I don't know when in the year you're watching,
but if I had to bet on the status of your resolution,
it's probably not flourishing, but failed or foregone.
This is usually what the effort curve on resolutions looks like.
If New Year’s is new to you, you’re forgiven for not knowing.
But come on, this isn't your first Resolution Rodeo.
You've been here before: saddled up to a resolution.
Gotten thrown off in short order.
Only to come back next year to pick a buck of a different color.
Or worse, the same.
Riding, rolling, retreating, returning.
Year after year after year of your unchanging life
until a disappointed reaper calls time.
