New Year Resulutions

New Year Resolutions
Christmas is over. Time to reflect on the year gone bye.
Think of changes to be made, and
Resolute to do better in the year to come
Look after the finances better; improve my fitness; eat less rubbish
So it goes on
Remember Last new year?
By January end; half were gone into oblivion
And resumed to treacle pud
The exercising went when February brought the snow

I wonder
How long will this year resolutions last

Happy New year lets get it started right

If I have not started doing whatever I think I should be doing by now (age 63) there's no hope that a new year will change a damn thing! I love your honesty delivered with amused wisdom. I like how you show how exercise goes by the wayside in Jan, healthy eating gone by Feb . . . it would be fun to do a poem showing the months of the year & how we slide down & down & down, as the year goes by . . . until we're pigging out for the next holiday season again! Your poem stirred much deep emotion in me, as you can see! *wink! wink!* Looking forward to being entertained by you more in 2020! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Ah Margie > We at 63 & 83 have reached the age where sudden changes to our habits throw use out of phase
Why not April 1st (All Fools Day here in UK)
Just make small changes as and when

A truly honest and frank piece that decides to run with the reader, well done, good read.

The item was born in the boring lull following Christmas dinner when you have no energy to do anything active - like reading and the Telly is playing years old repeats
"I'll have stop eating so much"

Resolutions are usually never kept. Your poem made me think....Yes, time to think seriously about keeping one...

Actually the bit about exercising we were both racing cyclists we kept going through the snow and wind - then we turned to fell walking (Mountains are only 10 miles from home) we have been up on the tops in all weathers
BUT not now

Happy New Year Wild Rose I know what you mean about resolutions. Mine don't last, but at least I try. This year and starting tomorrow, I will be spending forty minutes a day on my exercise bike. I have seven pounds to shift. If I can do that by February, I will be a happy bunny.

Pam is going to start on the exercise bike once all the Christmas packing boxes are out of the way = or maybe Easter

[Chris Shaw]

I think there are many of us thinking about exercise bikes!!

[Wild Rose]

Well they are safer than going on the roads
Als you can stop anytime you like
I have though about putting a TV with a travel DVD to look at as we ride on
