Ditto that.

This is kinda lame

but I'm REALLY looking forward to 2014.

Most of the people I know

are NOT making resolutions

but I've been scribbling down thoughts on bits of paper all day long!

I'm SUPER EXCITED.

Then I decided to go back to January 1 of last year.

I remembered a couple of the resolutions, but not all.

So I read over the list and

CRAP......

OK, just Ditto it.

the usual plus two

resolutions.

hate them.
they seem to be easily forgotten or end in failure.
why set myself up again?
but, ok...
here ya go -

figure out my future.
dust myself off from falling off the health wagon

and get ready to jump on the next one coming up the bend.

get rid of the junk in my house, i.e. organize.
finish projects.
do my art stuff.
write.

and...

learn to ride a horse.
yeah.

 

I haven't ridden one in almost forty years.
when I was young and my mom was around, I used to get to ride on trails for my birthday

or on some special Saturdays.

now it seems like that never really happened, it's been so long ago.
like an old movie that I faintly remember.
I kinda just decided it would never happen again, too many things to do.
but why not?
yep, there's a resolution.
and one more....

that I REALLY don't want to do but
my niece is adamant about it.
to get over my fear of snakes.
Fear is not really the right word here.
hmmm.
what word describes paralyzing panic to the point of not being able to breath.
terror
hysteria

derangement: mental unsoundness ???

 

and it's not the getting "bit" part.

that doesn't even frighten me, I'm not scared at all about that.
I've been bit before, not by a snake but...
it's the slithering and winding and the wrapping around part.
I can't even post a photo, they bother me that much.
but my niece thinks I need to get over it,
that the "fear" is locking up more than I realize.
I don't like that anything could have that much power over me
and what if I was riding a horse and we came across a snake?
ok, so my usual resolutions plus two new ones.

did you make any resolutions?

care to share?
