I haven’t made any New Year resolutions for many years now. I always found them to be just one more way to fail.

This year, however, I think I’ve come up with some resolutions that are achievable. There are only three on my list and none are terribly specific…no “quit smoking” (well, that wouldn’t be on the list anyway as I don’t smoke), no “lose weight”, no “start exercising”. No, these resolutions are much more approachable and I cleverly phrased them in such a way as to make them almost impossible to fail at:

1. Read more regularly.

For the past several years, I’ve taken to “reading” audiobooks and listening to podcasts instead of sitting down with a real book. In the future, I’d like to change that by adding reading back into my routine. I’m hoping that the classes I’ll be taking at the local junior college will help in that respect.

2. Walk the dogs more regularly.

I’ve already started on this one and the dogs think I’m a goddess. Talk about immediate gratification!

3. Try to make a pot of soup for dinner once a week.

This one will probably fall by the wayside once the hot weather is here but, until then, I think I can do it.

And there they are…my first resolutions in many years!
