Goody Girl

A few things I resolve to do or dare Lessen my gallons of soda intake; The first ‘meal’ for breakfast, not the cornflakes… Juice therapy would be New Year’s affair. Yes, I’ll curb my late, night-owl affliction And suppress reading books, just once a week To calm my impulse..a healthy technique Refraining self from this invitation. Goody girl, that’s my 2015 name Life is short, I’ll be a kinder person… But rambling soda and late hours’ refrain May not work. Loving deeper is more fun! Regina Riddle's New Year Resolution Contest 12/18/2014

Once one leaves off soda the taste buds change and it will no longer be as inviting to succomb to the desire to indulge..New Year's Resolutions ____do they last well they can become habits for a lifetime..Quite an old habit that is replaced with a new healthier one and you have changed within a month's time..Thanks for stopping by..Sara

Wow, I was captured by this wistful poem and made me reminisce about the goals I tried to pursue and the lack of action I took, a few times. Honest, articulate reflections, Nette.. keep the love, never mind the soda binge ( not too much)!
