Last New Year,
I made all these resolutions,
I wanted to lose weight,
to exercise regularly,
to cook from fresh,
to learn a language,
to play my ukulele
and my guitar
for an hour a day,
to write more stories,
to read more poetry,
to stop trying so hard
with people,
to stop with the bad,
dad-jokes,
to get more fresh air,
go for more walks,
to read a novel a month,
and keep a list.
This New Year,
I have only one resolution.
I want to be easier on myself.
