I’m not really doing anything because I have to work New Year’s Day, but I have come up with some resolutions. Usually, I’m not a big believer in New Year’s resolutions, but I’ve made some this time because I really, really need to make some changes. One resolution is to develop a life— I really need to do more things outside of work, like take up hobbies and get out and meet people. I’m not talking about dating because I’ve pretty much given up on that area of my life. I’m just talking about doing things i enjoy, like hiking or ice skating, learning new things, being exposed to more people… as opposed to working and vegging out when I’m home, which is mostly all I’ve done lately. Another resolution is to use my rowing machine— starting three days a week and working up to five. I have a fatty liver apparently and I’m scared. This would be a good first step at self-care. My third and possibly most important (also probably the most difficult) resolution is to be more compassionate towards others. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not a warm and compassionate person; I realize this has come out in some of my posts and I’m sorry for that. I am going to be better. A pharmacist at work told me that forgiveness is important not because the other person deserves it, but because the forgiver deserves peace. I feel the jury’s out on that, but it’s an eloquent statement regardless. I will be better.
