I LOVE NEW YEARS. Realistically - I love the entire winter holiday season. But NYE is defined by sparkle and celebrations and bubbles and excitement. I LOVE ALL THOSE THINGS!
That being said - I do not love the dreaded New Year's Resolution. I've always believed that there's no reason to wait for a new year to make a big change. Want to quit your job and follow your dreams? Do it now. Thinking about popping the question? Why wait? Craving a healthy lifestyle? Get started! The point is - why are you waiting for some arbitrary date to motivate you? If you wont do it now, you're not anymore likely to achieve those goals because it's January 1.
Can we all just skip the resolutions, stop crowding my gym, and focus on what NYE really means? Dancing on tables in sequin dresses while drinking champagne with your friends. I swear - scientifically that's what it stands for. I think NASA discovered that...or something.
Ok you're right - the arthritis in my feet will keep me from dancing on tables this year but being a grown up means I can afford the good bubbles and the fancy dress. Quick question - do they make sequin onesies?
While I will not be participating in the tradition of the New Year's Resolutions - I will continue to sparkle. I will continue to work on bettering myself. I will keep chasing the dream. I will work on my physical and mental health. I will never stop learning. I vow to never stop speaking my mind (although sometimes I should, whoops!). I vow to make everyone laugh as much as humanly possible. I promise to keep asking the hard questions. I promise to work on relationships with myself and others. And I solemnly swear I will always always - be up to no good.
New Year - Same Sparkle! See ya when I see ya 2017!
