New Year’s Evolutions

Let’s make a change to begin this New Year.  No resolutions, just evolutions.

This year I’m not promising to make any changes for the better. I’m not planning to finally lose that last ten pounds, or that I’ll spend more time at home and less time at the office (Covid-19 has already taken care of that).  I’m not promising to take my car to the carwash regularly or keep my desk neat.

I’ve been there and not done that. All my past New Year’s resolutions have turned to dissipated smoke within days.

Instead of giving myself the message that I still need to improve, I’m going to give myself the message that I’m pretty neat already. I have no issue with trying to improve myself, but do I really need to begin the year by focusing on my flaws? Again?

So, my first New Year’s Evolution for 2025 is to stop telling myself I’m not good enough. None of us are perfect, but it feels much better to pat myself on the back than to kick myself in the you know where.

My Second New Year’s Evolution — appreciate each moment.

Feel free to join me in making this change. I’m calling it  the Resolution Evolution.

All right. Enough musing for one morning.

P.S.  I do plan to continue writing this blog every Tuesday, and I’m patting myself on the back for never missing a single week.
