new year's resolutions
How many of you out there make new year's resolutions? And I am not talking about starting the gazillionth diet January 1st, which you all forget about on January 2nd, because you have a craving need for that chocolate after contemplating the impossibility of sticking to your new year's resolutions...
I am talking about trying to really change-- change jobs, move to a different country, ditch the loser boyfriend or doing something that is so not you...
Can an old dog learn new tricks? Can we honestly change if we want to? Do we dare take a risk when life is finally comfortable and "safe"? Can we take the plunge and transform in something we thought we never could be?
I am really curious, because I think the majority of us refuse to leave our comfort zone even if that zone is not that comfortable any more. And yet, I think that we only get so many opportunities and if we stop trying, or putting ourselves out there, life becomes less interesting, and I don't think it's what we here for. We're here to live yet so many of us ARE lived by jobs, relationships, obligations, the right thing, taxes...I'd like to believe there's more but is there?! What's there beyond death and taxes???/

I think we CAN leave our comfort zone and change our destructive habits, but it is often at very great cost, Inez. People admire me because I am so "out of the box" but they have no idea the price I need to pay to do these things I do. I have made my reolutions this year I will live by them and I will have to sacrifice my friends and their expectations to do this. I think too it has something to do with my age. At 72 I am not afraid to try the new things I think I want to do. After all if I dont try now, when?
