Resolutions

Recovering from all the Christmas cheer
Early in this new year
Sorrowfully I now decide
On resolutions by which I must abide.
Like losing weight to gain speed.
Undo the damage of saturated feeds.
Take up zumba class and swimming.
I think already I am winning.  
Only this time I will persist.
Naughty foods I must resist.
Slim me inside still resides.

LOL! I've decided to start looking for the Fountain of Youth ... I figure all that LOOKING will make me young (and in shape) whether I find it or not! It's all in the process, I'm told. Blessings, Dear Friend! <3

I will take my time if you promise not to call her up a thousand times a day? Thank you for your sound advice TS.
