New Year’s Resolutions to Stick To...
by Laurie Kolp

A new year, a new decade
the chance to improve
myself.
The biggest goal is
to keep my new year
resolutions,
most of which involve
partaking in healthier
habits;
exercising again, but
this time listening to my
Achilles tendons,
eating a more well-rounded
vitamin-enriched
diet,
finishing that book
before it becomes
forgotten,
and sending off my
piled-up set of
writings.
Of course, what
goes without saying-
do everything in
love,
gratitude,
forgiveness,
and good will
to all;
most importantly
and number one-
my family.
