It's Tuesday morning in Mesa. I slept gloriously in my brothers bed: warm and heavy.
January's peaking her splendid face around the corner. Her gaze is both intimidating and thought-provoking: What is 2008 going to bring? Going to Chile, backpacking through south america? learning portuguese? climbing the incan ruins of Macchu Pichu? visiting my host family from three summers ago? where will I be one year from now? Flying home from Santiago with AM?
That's a long time from now.
Right now I'm more curious what my "resolutions" will be. I remember mine from last year:
No Resolutions: Just Promises.
I'm not a fan of New Years' Resolutions. But here are a few promises I'm making to myself, not just for this year, but for my life:
I promise-
to live while I'm alive.
to fight.
to apologize for rudeness but not for honesty.
to love my body everyday.
to take care of my body because it's mine -- not because society tells me to.
to make no excuses for being myself.
to be jealous of my own life.
and to never make new years' resolutions.
I suppose it's time to reflect...
