By this time of year, you've either gotten over the hump and deepened your commitment to new year resolutions, or you've abandoned them altogether. I have no trouble telling you that I have not given up on mine yet, and the simple reason for that is that I have yet to decide upon a new practice with which to commit. I suppose taking the garbage out before it becomes a soggy repulsive mound in my kitchen is probably something I should put on my list of potential newish year resolutions.
Though, I know that I will fail at that task. I just can't help but allow the trash to pile. It runs in my family. My father took the trash out six times per year, mostly around holidays. You may say that's disgusting, and perhaps it is. It is our way though. It is my way, and I cannot pretend that announcing a resolution will somehow undo generational practices that expand well beyond my will and consciousness.
However, I am aware that reducing caloric intake is a more common and perhaps attainable resolution in which I could hitch myself. Perhaps I will begin there and then slowly work toward taking out the trash more regularly.
The thought pains me.
Enough!
