Are New Year's Resolutions made to be broken? Perhaps.
While you ponder that issue, I want to send a pat on the back to Wil of "The Daily Snooze" was first to answer last week's question! Congratulations, Wil!
For those who have never played, the rules are simple: I offer two different questions, both related to the same topic, but you only choose one of them to actually answer.
Last week, Jess of "CIW: The Other Invisible" was first to answer last week's double question edition. Congratulations, Jess.
Now, onto this week's choice of questions. And remember: don't answer both questions!
THIS WEEK'S TOPIC: GOALS
QUESTION A:
If you could travel to your own future and see what has changed, what would you hope to see yourself doing ten years from now?
or
QUESTION B:
What is the New Year's Resolution that you actually kept most successfully, and how long ago did you make it?
Choose A or B, (indicate which question you're answering!) then either answer the question in a comment or answer it in your journal and include the link in a comment. (To be considered "first to play," a link must be to the specific entry in which you answered the question.)
Remember: choose one or the other...not both.
Well…I’m gonna answer B cause my answer to A would be the same as some of my “resolutions”. So, without further adu…I’ve never actually kept a New Year’s Resolutions per se, but I used to work for this group of lawyers when I lived in Fort Worth and the whole office was predominately Catholic. So when Lent rolled around everyone was “giving something up” and “what are you giving up for Lent”. I had never done that but the idea intrigued me (being Baptist), so I decided to see if I could actually give something up I really enjoyed and stick with it the entire Lent season. I chose chocolate. Now before you think, “well that shouldn’t be so hard”, remember that I am female and that being female and eating chocolate are the same. So…. surprise, surprise. I actually stuck to it! And, on Fat Tuesday, I ate my first bite of chocolate in over a month and it was the best I had ever eaten then and since!!!

I grew up Catholic. We were always giving something up in Lent. Most years I didn't make it. Good for you, a non-Catholic, for making it! And chocolate of all things!
betty
