#SoCS and #JusJoJan ~ 1/1/22

Yeah buddy! We’re starting out 2022 aka 2020 too with a bang. Here are the rules and ping back if you’d like to join in. Just joshing about the too part. At least I hope so. Now for the main event/combo. Linda gives us the following …

Your prompt for #JusJoJan and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “resolve.” Use it as a noun or a verb. Have fun!

I’m resolved to writing more poetry in 2022. This goal isn’t a New Year’s resolution mind you. Those are for suckers. Hehe. If I believe the stats resolutions fail more often than not. In my case, there’s too much stress to produce a new year, new leaf on a perpetual loop. Striving for perfection is hard. I’ll settle for good enough from now on.

Never say never

Resolve, finish with flourish

Brave enough to stop

Kinda corny but I’m really tired of the adage you can be anything you want to be. What a crock. For example, if I wanted to play basketball for the WNBA, not matter how much resolve I put toward my goal, that’s not gonna happen. Sometimes quitting is the braver choice. Instead let’s resolve to be kind so ourselves.

As always, more to come.
