This is the time of year that everybody makes their New Year’s resolutions, as if somehow the year changing is magically the time to change your life. I do not really do New Year’s resolutions, I make promises to myself year round about things I want to change. Most of the time I am not successful but then I just try again in 2 months.
However, since this is the time of year everyone talks about them, and maybe if I write them down and tell you about them I will be more successful here are my promises to myself that I am currently working on.
- First and foremost is to eat healthier and exercise more. I made this promise about 2 months ago. I have been reasonably successful on the eat healthier front, but the exercise is not going so well.
- I also have promised myself and well now you that I am going to post at least twice a week this year. So far this is not getting off to a great start, but I am just eeking this second post in the first week.
- Thirdly, is to keep my house clean. I tend to be a slob and am lucky if I sweep every other month. It makes it really hard to have friends over as I am embarrassed by how messy my house is.
- Finally, I am renewing my resolve to really dig into the dating scene. I tried half-heartedly over the past year, and even tried Chemistry.com for 3 months. Chemistry.com was a complete bust for me as the density of gay people using it in my area is insufficient to get ANY dates. This probably threw me off of online dating for a while.
