New Year's Resolutions. Happy 2014

New Year's Resolutions: everyone makes them and everyone breaks them.  Personally I have never actually made one.  Well, I have thought about ones I could make but have never instituted them.  I honestly admire people who make them and follow them through.  But my only question to them is this - why limit yourself to only once a year? Surely self improvement should take place all the year round? 

Anyhow this year I have made a resolution. It is quite simply just to write.  I will write and I will keep writing but most importantly I will believe in myself.  I won't beat myself up if I don't write reams every day, but I WILL WRITE!  If it is a load of rubbish at least I am writing.  If I only blog or tweet at least I am writing.  

And finally, my last point on resolutions:

"I do think New Year's resolutions can't technically be expected to begin on New Year's Day, don't you? Since, because it's an extension of New Year's Eve, smokers are already on a smoking roll and cannot be expected to stop abruptly on the stroke of midnight with so much nicotine in the system. Also dieting on New Year's Day isn't a good idea as you can't eat rationally but really need to be free to consume whatever is necessary, moment by moment, in order to ease your hangover. I think it would be much more sensible if resolutions began generally on January the second."
