The Problem With Proclamations . . .

Just ask Tom Cruise. Or any other person who shouts from the roof tops or jumps on coaches to profess his love for someone, or something. Or, simply ask someone in the middle of February about their New Year’s Resolution. 

The problem with proclamations is that they are public, definitive, resolute, and ballsy!!  Everything they should be.

By this time of year people are well on their way to establishing new routines, kicking old habits, knee deep into their workout plans, or they are hoping no one remembers what they resolved on January 1^st.

Dieters are posting pictures of their favorite desserts again.

Naturalistas are buying relaxers J

Savings have been (as my mother would say) “pinched on”.

Smokers are puffing away behind the garage.

Damn Shame.

My resolution was to start blogging again regularly . . . hmm.

It has become commonplace to joke about New Year’s Resolutions and how people rarely keep them. So much so that people swear them off and resolve never to make them!

We can’t give up that easy.  Life is full of fits and starts and restarts.  When making change in life there are bound to be a few growing pains. If it was easy to do, you’d have done it a long time ago.

I say keep making New Year’s Resolutions. If it doesn’t work out by February, evaluate and make a new one in February. Call it your “Fab-ruary Resolution”.  If February doesn’t work out, try a “March-ing On Resolution”! But keep trying. Like Aaliyah said you can surely “dust yourself off and try again”!!!

Happy Fab-ruary!!!

“If you think change is difficult, think of the butterfly”!!!

What’s your Fab-ruary Resolution?
