I'm not a quitter

I’m proud to say, I’m not a quitter.

That’s why you won’t hear me say anything about New Year’s resolutions. Why start something I know I’ll never finish?

Let’s face it, I love my chips, sweet tea and chocolate way too much to give them up for a measly 10 pounds. There would have to be something really serious involved for me to pass on cheesecake, too.

I suppose I could vow to do something simple that doesn’t include depriving myself, like reading a book a week for the year. Fifty-two books. I could do that. Wait though, there’s work and speech practice and traveling for the next 90 days so that would mean I’d have to wedge those extra 12 books in sometime during the year.

Nevermind.

I could vow to always drive the speed limit. HAHAHAHAHA!

I’ve already stopped smoking and my rare glass of wine doesn’t count.

Maybe, instead of giving something up I should think about things I want.

Travel would be at the top of the list, along with spending more time with family. Of course, there is my wish for a winning speech season and a trip to Nationals in June. I hope I can continue to help with People for People, helping others.

I guess I’ve been looking at this all wrong. Its much more important to think about the things you want to do, the good things, rather than looking at all the bad things you want to give up.

Here’s to the good things in the New Year!
