New Year's Resolutions

Note to self.

1) Read 125 books regardless of the format.

2) Write 30 new poems. 

3) Drink more water. (Soda is good, but the doc said cutting back is a must.)

4) Learn how to cook. (Baking banana bread every week doesn’t count.) 

5) Attend church. (I know it’s been hard, but you are no less than a Child of God because some people choose to twist the Word to make you feel like shit.)

6) Stop stressing about my weight. (If need be, buy bigger pants.)

7) Go on a mission trip. (God is so present in these moments for you.)
