I was in line at the grocery store when I noticed all the various magazine covers. Each one mentioned something about starting the new year off on the right foot. "A new year, a new you," was quoted on most. How can the transition from one number to the next bring a new me? Why shouldn't we work hard to improve our lives any other day of the year?
We are obsessed with starting over. I am at fault for it, honestly. When I was a kid, I would freak out the moment I made a mistake while playing a song on the piano. I would spazz a little and then start the song all over again, there was no moving on from that mistake. I had to play it right, all the way through. Until today, I will erase words if my penmanship doesn't look right. Now with a whole year, it's a little different. If we stumble, we wait until the next year to get some resolutions to follow. We can't just start the year over the moment we make a mistake.
As for my new years resolution a la 2010... to eat better and get fit.
Or maybe transfer my anal retentive nature into planning workout sessions that actually happen.
Salut!
