Funny New Years Resolutions For 2024 Poetry Contest

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION What is the fuzz about? Ah, yes! New Years’ resolution. Say, what? New Year’s resolution? Are you going to make one again? It would only be good for a week, a month maybe, giving the benefit of the doubt. What would it be this time? Lose weight, go on diet, eat healthy, exercise, go to the gym. New Year starts a second after midnight. If you are celebrating New Year’s Eve, welcoming the New Year, you are already breaking New Year’s resolutions of going on diet or eating healthy for you are more likely over stuffing yourself or eating junk food with your drinks, probably alcohol or diet soda … sabotaging your resolution. I have an easy New Year’s resolution. Embrace, love and enjoy yourself. Amuse and have fun with yourself. Anyway, you’re always with yourself, twenty four hours a day, three hundred sixty five/sixty six days a year ….. Let the music on, listen to lift your soul. You have your own musical instrument, your voice, use it, hear it … sing out loud… No excuses, if you’re shy, sing while you shower; if your voice goes out of tune or could not reach low or high note, don’t get frustrated, laugh… you tried. Dance, move to the music for nobody has two left feet … put your feet on a wet rag, towel and start mopping the floor; now you’re dancing, exercising. When you’re down and lonely, don’t go to downtown or mall to go shopping, spending your money for alcohol or things you don’t need more stuff like designer this, designer that to feel better and whole. Write, jot down your feelings and what trigger making you feel down, blue. Call somebody or send a card to say hello or write something good to yourself. Stay positive for when you feel good about yourself, you feel wonderful in and out. Who needs New Year’s resolution, eh? You can kiss it and kick it goodbye, yeah! Or to end on a good note…. you would probably keep your New Year’s resolution of staying positive when you embrace, love and enjoy yourself ... yes? no? It is all up to you!
