owch, it smarts even to think of posting this.

Childish behavior has grown-up consequences.
Some of my posts are more childish and unfeeling than others.
Posts online are of course forever,
and can come back to bite me.

Today, am resolved to be accountable and adult
when my childish actions and behaviors
come back to haunt me and,
worse yet, to harm others.

Keeping up resolutions from whenever they were resolved (it doesn't always come about on New Year's Eve) is enough of a challenge.

I'm having a dry January.

Dry white wine, dry red wine, Cava brut, whisky and dry ginger, London dry gin...

I seldom try resolutions, because I get annoyed with myself when I screw up and I screw up enough that I don't want to spend my life annoyed and annoyING. I've only made one New Year's Resolution that I managed to keep to, and it did me a world of good, but it was simple, though dramatic. I had a coworker who was an elderly Romanian lady who acted like deposed royalty, (we should all bow to her and MUST acknowledge her presence when she walks into a room). She hated me from the first day and went out of her way to make me miserable, show me in a bad light, point out any flaw or mistake of mine. She could get me furious in 3 minutes flat. I resolved not to talk to her other than when I HAD to make a specific request "I need to use that book right now, please." Gave her no opening to argue or complain. Peace in the office for the first time in 8 years. WONDERFUL.

Now if I could just find a way to stop arguing with myself, I'd make that a resolution!

Joanne in Cleveland, unresolved

Maybe there was one and I didn't see it...

The last time I kept a New Year's resolution was the one to sing in public, and that was a looooong time ago now, as in the early 2000's.

Since then I have resolved each year to learn to play an instrument.

I hereby resolve that again.

Y'all?
