I do not make New Year's resolutions. I
have considered them, but the way I figure, if there is something I
was not going to do then I was unlikely to do it merely because the
date changed.
I tend not to perform a focused
reflection on the past year either. I am constantly looking back at
my life. It's just not normally in a compartmentalized way such as
placing events in boxes marked by years. In fact, I rarely put the
past away at all. I simply leave it open like a festering wound to
watch it turn green over time as I focus on it and seldom address the
past in a meaningful way other than to permit it to depress me and
attribute to my inaction in the future. Maybe this is something I
should try.
