A Most Resolute Guy Am I

With less than three months to go
     I'm the most resolute guy I know

   Last January one, 2022
     I resolved to my family this year to do:

   Never to let a day pass me by
     without giving some chocolate a try

   I know it sounds tough, but I've toughed every day out
     And here I am in October, successful ~ if stout

Now that is the way to enjoy a year, so what's your next resolution? (I vote for trying a different flavor of ice cream each day - I think you can find 365 of them if you're creative!)

If you're going to be resolute, then be resolute about something that you truly enjoy, gw. Good job!
