Quite frankly, I have no New Year’s resolutions this time. That is, while I do hope to achieve new goals in 2008 as well as keep certain hopes & dreams alive and kicking, I find these resolutions hard to fulfill and a tad over the top. Maybe a better person could actually go and do something meaningful with these magical resolutions. Me - I’m stuck with a ridiculous short term memory that just wont quit.
I’m more of the “Things I desire with all my heart” list kind of person. I made one such list about 5 years back and promptly forgot all about it. When I stumbled across The List a year back, I was surprised to be able to actually strike off most of the things on it as DONE. Time to make a new list now that 2008 is just around the counter.
Also, since I’ve been missing The Countdown till the stroke of midnight for a couple of years now, I’m counting the days that good old 2007 has left. Can you believe it - we’re already in the fag end of this year. This way, I’m going to wonder what in the hell ever happened to my twenties. One & a half year left for Armageddon now. I’m going to be one very shrill, snappish 30 year old. I just know it. Sob.
Someone asked me, “So what is your New Year resolution?”
I asked back, “Do you need to have one?”
Really, is there a need for a resolution just because it is New Year?
