Believing Better Diaries
Trying to be Better
Technically, it was already this year when I went to bed "last night." I stayed up long enough to kiss my sweetheart of a soulmate and send a few greetings to some close family and friends. But I went to bed around oneish feeling like I was closing my eyes to something nostalgic, but old and in need of retirement.
Then, on the same pillow I laid down on last year, I rubbed my eyes open to this new year with big goals and big ideas and big plans to do something new. But my life is too crowded already – all our lives are. That means either rearranging what's moveable or replacing it altogether.
That's what I'm doing.
I think I can be better about what I'm already doing. We'll see how long it lasts, but I'm planning to step up and be better about things. If I can rearrange some stuff and do away with some stuff and just all-around be better about things, that should help to somehow make things better for the people who have to be around me.
That's my goal; making things better for the people who have to be around me.
That's general enough I think and shouldn't obligate me too much. But if I do it right, people ought to notice that I'm trying to be better.
