My New Years Resolution For 2022
In 2022 I resolve to be less accommodating.
Not the first one to yell “I will do it”,
often putting everyone else’s needs before my own.
I resolve to become aware when I am being taken advantage of,
and it was my own idea.
I will stop offering to go first, be first, taste first.
I will hang back and wait for someone else to be the pigeon.
When someone is moving, I will not begin collecting boxes for them.
When a stray dog shows up, I will not order a new dog bed.
I will look at myself and think “what do I need?”
before I think “I had better do this, that and the other” for another.
In 2022 I resolve to be less accommodating.
Oh, you need to borrow a car? Sure. Here are my keys.
