Hot Chocolate, Revolutions & Resolutions
I don't usually drink hot chocolate, but ever since somebody brought in a container of Nestle hot cocoa mix to make the office coffee more bearable, I've been having a cup every afternoon. It's sad how the quality of the coffee has deteriorated over the last few months. Anyway, besides avoiding bad coffee, part of my motivation to drink it drew from the fact that I recently acquired a bottle of Starbucks peppermint flavored syrup (clearance priced!). Nothing keeps the holiday spirit alive like a fresh cup of peppermint hot chocolate in January.
Today is the first Friday of 2005. It's a little hard to believe that a week of the new year is now in the history books (or electronic archives). That seems awfully quick, as though whoever is in charge of spinning the world put something extra on the first few revolutions.
This post wasn't intended to be about hot chocolate or marveling at how fast time passes. It was supposed to be about my resolutions, but I was at a loss and couldn't think of a single one, not because I couldn't find any areas for improvement, but because I found too many. For guidance and a starting point, I looked at what others resolved to do in the new year, which is my way of explaining why a few of these might look familiar to some of you.
In 2005, I resolve to:- eat healthier and drink more water
- learn to cook edible dishes
- set and keep an exercise routine
- volunteer more
- read and write daily
- clean, cleanse and organize my place
- update this journal every day (or at least 365 times this year)
- continue to step outside of my comfort zone
- be more patient, mature and considerate
- save money for long-term dreams (travel, art, a cabin)
