My Five New Year's Resolutions

As 2021 fades in the rear view mirror
I again open Pandora's Box of promises to myself:
To continue losing weight
To gain confidence and learn to love myself
To aspire to shoot ever higher in my career
To ascend past the depths of my fear and find friends
And to pick up the pieces of my broken heart and mend it
So onward to 2022 and all the good fortune it may bring!
