I've got mine. Now the rest of the country needs a resolution for 2013.
How about a fashion resolution: men will stop wearing their britches slung down around their thighs and women will stop wearing pajama pants out in public.
The first journal I wrote in was called Sunshine and Rainbows-the title came with the book-appropriate for a young high school/college girl. The next volume had no title, and covered the end of college to Dad's passing in 2011. Now with my new tablet I'm ready to go all 21st century. I'm journaling in the cloud. And the title? REAL life's not always Sunshine and Rainbows, sometimes it's just Crabgrass & Skeeters.

Of course I'm going to eat right, exercise, lose lbs. but, this year I've decided on one resolution that I can actually be successful at. I resolve to read one book every month. I used to be able to read a book a day. Over time, reading has been pushed back behind work, kids, home. I lost the interest, the love, the distraction that reading provided once the "interweb" entered my life. I got lazy too. And old-lady eyes have set in literally making it hard to focus. But, I can see; I do have time. I will make this work.
The book I started months ago will be finished in January. The Girl in the Italian Bakery--no award winner, however I'm 30% through it according to the Kindle app, so I will push through to the end. I have not researched it, but it appears to be the autobiographical account of the author's life growing up in the projects near Boston. No girl and no bakery yet.
