as avril lavigne sings to me through my computer speakers, i hear the lyrics "there's always a brand new day" which is just what i was going to write about.
not that i'm in the habit of making resolutions but this year i've decided to make a daily resolution...(and since i love to combine words to make new, funny ones..a "dailution" if you will)
a good majority of people around the world have already resolved to do different things differntly this year. which is commendable...but let's face it, most likely they will fail.
my "dailution" however has a greater success rate. instead of biting off the entire year and attempting to chew it all at one time (i don't know what's with me and the chew metaphors recently but whatever, they work) i've decided to bite off one day at a time.
for example...wednesday was my first day back at work in about a week and a half and my resolve was to start showing up on time rather then the five-to-ten-to-maybe, sometimes-fifteen minutes lateness i had been pulling off all last year.
thus wednesday morning broke and i unlocked the office door at precisely 9:00am sharp. my goal: reached.
today however, was a different story. waking up at 8:50 doesn't immediately launch one into the capability of being somewhere right at 9:00..therefore, 9 turned into 9:20. goal: failed.
the bright side? the bright side is where some people would have given up thinking they've already broken their ability to fully carry out their resolve, i say i get 363 more "new years" to reach/exceed my potential.
so happy new day to you! and may you live each new day like you just stayed up the night before partying like it's 2008 ;-)
