Well, I was going to attempt to do a sort of “year in review” post, but it got too long to read, and because I’ve got trouble with follow through on things as soon as they get tedious and boring. That post did.
Is it dumb to make New Year’s resolutions? I tend to think not because I personally find it helpful to write out or formulate my goals. Otherwise, I just don’t even think about what my goals are. I am naturally flighty, but am doing my best to keep it in it’s proper bounds and reign by giving myself small conquests. Is it foolish to say, at the beginning of the year, "I shall make myself a better person and resolve to overcome this weakness in the new year"? I think it is good, because, though it is a sort of secular thing, I see some sacredness in it, for I beleive it to be grace that encourages people to rid themselves of faults and grow in virtue. Our Lord and Lady, I think, are truly pleased when people try to perfect themselves, though it does hurt them to be shoved off. All the more reason for faithful Christians to make reparation for careless hurts. There's an idea for a resolution.
What of my new years resolutions? Well, as the constant procrastinator that I am, I've not finished formulating any yet. I think one should always try to better himself, and, since I am the worst sinner I know, I have some to make...perhaps starting with procrastination ;-). I think, though, that at the present moment that fault is too big a mountain to ascend right now.
