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.
