Today's exercise is a bit difficult to follow in blog form. You are supposed to write directly into the book on the provided blank lines. Randomly throughout the blank lines are different letters. Once you get to them, you are supposed to use that letter. But since I'm not writing in the book, I'll make sure to start each sentence with the next letter. Here we go! (We're supposed to start with New Year's resolutions make me... and the first letter is an N.)
New Year's resolutions make me neurotic. Every year we set a new goal that we're supposed to uphold throughout the entire year. Whoever came up this rule, I assume, didn't understand how seriously people would take it. Year after year, people set unrealistic goals for themselves, only to fail by February. Even though nearly everyone gives up, it doesn't take away the feeling of failure. A better idea would be, "This new year, I propose to ___ more," whether it be more drinking, or eating cake, or sitting by the pool, or vacationing. Rephrasing it this way would definitely alleviate the pressure of say, losing 20 pounds or quitting smoking. Suddenly New Year's resolutions would be fun! Read more for pleasure! Enjoy more nights out! Sing at the top of your lungs just for fun! Of course, only you can make the change from a stressful resolution to an exciting resolution. Let 2011 be the year that you actually keep your resolution! Use the months ahead to come up with a really good one. Try setting the goal to go rollerskating once a month. (It just might help you lose those 20 pounds that you resolved to not worry about!) Or simply resolve to spend more time with your family and friends. Next year just might be the best year of your life.
Okay, that one was not fun. Hated the topic! I hope tomorrow is better!
