New Year, New You? Make any resolutions? Fail at any?
Super Sex Kittens to the rescue! New Year's resolutions? Not for Gracie.
I don't subscribe to the New Year's Phenomenon. No mere turning of the calendar or purchase of a new one moves me to resolutions; I'm much more pragmatic about it all.
It's not that I don't think I or anyone else can be improved upon; I just find the whole idea of a date, a number, making it so rather silly. Why at the end of one set of digits or the start of a newer set should one focus on self-improvement? Why limit oneself to some pseudo-magical-moment when the collective 'us' says, "Hey, what do you want to fix about yourself?"
It seems to be borne of a fatalistic sense of accomplishment, a safety in numbers issue (especially with abandonment of such resolutions), or a duel between narcisism V neurosis. Likely it is all three. But if you must subscribe to such delusional thinking that the western calendar change presents a magical window of opportunity, by all means, go for it.
I prefer to do this sort of resolution making or thinking whenever I am presented with a problem. If I gain five pounds and it bothers me, then I step away from the cookies for a bit. I don't wait until the calendar flips to decide what to do ~ if I did that, my girth would spread even worse. If I realize I have an issue, I deal with it then. I don't wait for it to gain weight, become larger, before I attack it. If I realized joker-loser-man is a bad deal, I wouldn't keep dating him until the stoke of midnight on New Year's Eve ~ I'd axe him then & there.
I don't like to fool around, procrastinate.
That all said, I have had problems with sticking with what I resolve to do...
Sometimes, the lure of the cookies is greater than the pinch in the waist of my jeans. Sometimes the joke-loser-man's been a great lusty romp and I'm in the mood... Sometimes I've experiences angst or a notion that something's not quite right, but what is it and what can I do about it? Then again, some problems do seem much bigger than lil' ol' Gracie ~ like the addiction to cigs. :sigh:
How do we deal with problems, resolutions, find support, measure success, or even decide when we have a problem or what it is? Now that's something with bite... Sounds like a job for the Sex Kittens!
So, with the start of the new year, the Sex Kittens put on their super hero capes (over their lingerie, of course!), zip-up the thigh-high boots (the best part of the costume!), and jump in to save the day! (Or your year, depending upon your view point.)
With much affection,
Gracie
