Resolutions

Yesterday I drank and smoked Now today I surely don't Yesterday I was bent out of shape Today I'm lifting all kinds of weights Yesterday gave into want's and needs Today I'm setting myself free Yesterday gave up the bad Now today there's nothing left Yesterday what I did I swear today I won't miss Yesterday the old me went away All for the sake of resolutions made That was all a week ago Back to downing drinks and smoking smokes Doing all the things I always did Didn't take long to rubbish the list I set down all of the weights Except the doughnuts which I crave Jumped headfirst back into want's and needs As I missed them and they missed me Made up with all I did that's bad Not that they ever really left Yesterday all that I did Are back today in perfect fit Resolutions to me are fine If you keep yours and don't look at mine

I gave up drinking and smoking years ago along with a long list of just about anything you can think of. My new addiction of course is social media which I'm sorry to say every year in January I take a break. You will all be missed, thank you so much for your hospitality and wonderful friendship! I will return!
