Resolutions

Ah, January. The month for resolutions, new beginnings, do-overs. Yeah, right. The cynic in me believes that resolutions are just another advertising ploy...
"Get organized!" (Translation: buy storage containers--which do not, by the way, organize for you the junk you can't throw away. I've tried that. Now I have junk I can't throw away sitting next to empty boxes in my basement.)
"Lose weight!" (Translation: join gyms! Buy exercise equipment! Buy special diet food with no calories or taste! Buy new running shoes! I have to admit, I buy into this resolution from time to time. I teach fitness classes and like to encourage people to improve their health. But resolutions about weight loss and dieting usually set people up to fail. In the end, overall health is about lifestyle changes.)
"Help others!" (Translation: Give money so that you can feel better about the triple, half-caf, non-fat, sugar-free vanilla latte you spend $5 for daily. But the bottom line is I can't even help myself.)

So...in spite of all my cynicism, I have a resolution. I resolve to post to my blog three times each week. Will I be able to keep it? Well, the way I figure, no one is making money off of my success or failure, so my cynical side is at peace. If I am able, the question becomes "will anyone read it?"
