Spring Resolution

Posted on March 1, 2010

I’ve never cared much for New Year Resolutions. It just seems like I always set myself up for failure. The only one I’ve ever kept is the one where I resolved not to make them anymore.

Plus, to me, the concept of special meaning in a new year was silly. After all, it’s still the dead of winter, so what’s new?

Now March 1st is another story. To me, and most of us who live in South Texas, it means Spring – new growth, new flowers. I always think of February as dark and March as sunshine. So it seemed like a good day to make a resolution. Here’s mine:

Whenever I’m struggling with something that’s hard, I tend to find lots of time wasters on the web: following every twitter thread, reading Facebook statuses, etc. Instead, I resolve to tackle those hard issues and figure out why they are frustrating me; rather than avoiding them.

It may not seem like much, bit it is a big time waster for me. Have you given any thought to your Spring Resolution?

Gotta run now, I have a proposal to write!
