Resolution Execution

Someone asked me the other day if I’d made any New Year resolutions. Of course, I haven’t. The first month of the year doesn’t seem to be the best time to make drastic changes. In cold weather, I’d much rather stay comfortable with a tried-and-true self-improvement project, like reading a good mystery or tackling lace knitting. That doesn’t mean I’m not open to bettering myself, just that I’m open to doing it any time throughout the year. It also means that I’m beyond focusing on the things that are “missing” or “wrong” in my life. I am, however, always ready to be inspired and explore new things, like brushing up on my high school Spanish. If I don’t enjoy it, no problem; I’ll move on to something different, maybe Hungarian.

It’s not a resolution, exactly; it’s more like my lifelong goal— to get inspired and be willing to try. That’s what brought me to Atlanta Senior Life, and that’s what I hope to share with our readers in every issue.
