I have turned into a
routine person. It seems strange for me
to admit to this because I have thought of myself as the opposite for most of
my life. I can't say for sure when
routine became my thing as I can only seem to recognize this when I am
experiencing non-routine situations and fall into a sense of confusion, similar
to the "What the hell?" movement as opposed to the, "What the
hell!" movement.
I hate resolutions for the
new year. People set up these outlandish
goals, like to exercise and eat right.
Honey, if you haven't been doing that before 1/1, chances are it ain't
happenin' after 1/10. So, with that in
mind, I have resolved to make a resolution to the best of my current
state. I was originally thinking that I
would do or try something new at least once a week but I quickly realized that
my out for that would be to try new foods and would likely end up being 48 new
flavors of ice cream and 4 new potato chip flavors or some other item, like
different types of chocolate. I also
realized that doing or trying involves a break from the routine and while I
think I can do that periodically, once a week would immediately throw me into
that category of outlandish goal setter.
For this year, I will be breaking the routine and setting a resolution
that may be achievable. To do or try
something new at least once a month. I
think I can find 12 new things that won't send me spinning into, "What the
hell?" but might possibly lead to a resolution for the following year to
join the "What the hell!" movement.
I'm also making a personal promise that these new things will only be
food related for up to 3 of the 12.
