September Resolutions

I've decided that fall resolutions are more likely to fail than New Year resolutions. We await the start of fall, school, and new routines... so when it arrives we jump onto the bandwagon. However, we often overload and must scale back our grand plans. So, I too must scale back.

The resolution to blog daily is admirable but truth is there is not enough time in the day. Blogs are creative efforts which requre inspiration, dedication, and plenty of time. However, time is limited in my life and I always end up "robbing Peter to pay Paul". (What is the source of that statement? I'll leave that to another time.)

One could say the success of a resolution comes down to knowing yourself and setting limits. But if we never branched out to change our limits then we would never make another resolution. So, in the fall we are ready for a change; a change in weather, habits, and activities. This harkens back to our school days and old habits do not die easily. At year end we are supposed to review and adapt our lives but in truth it is a weak tradition. So, set the easy goals for the year end but tackle the tough goals in the fall.

What tough goals did you set for yourself this fall?
