New Year's Resolutions

It is the year 2013 and everything has gotten off to a good start. I usually hate talking about new year's resolutions, but this year, I'm going to mention them a bit because a lot of people are mentioning them.  Okay, here it is, the brass tack of the issue. I don't make new year's resolutions anymore.  Why? Basically because that are now pointless, and repetitive. Since 2005 I have been making the same resolutions: To keep personal devotions, to lose weight, to maintain an exercise program, and to finish some personal projects. 
Well, since then, I have done all of them. They have become more than a shallow promise to do something that year, all of those "resolutions" have become "ways of life" or "habits" for me now.  I have my personal devotions every morning without fail. In the past five years I can only think of a couple times when I missed having devotion time.
I have lost weight, and continue to do so little by little. But since I have started building muscle over the past three years, I gained some weight, but lost several inches all over my body which is better than just depending on weight to determine health. So, I am still working on building muscle mass and losing fat.
I workout 6 days a week every week. Again, I can only think of a couple times when I didn't workout, and that was because I was away from home in the US and couldn't. There were also a couple times when I was unable to workout because of a sudden change in my schedule that was unavoidable.
Projects! I love my little projects. I have set little projects for myself focusing on my DVD collection and how to organize them. I am getting more efficient at keeping them in order every year. And my collection keeps growing.  Last year, I purchased software that allows me to keep a digital record of all my titles and I was also able to separate movies from TV shows.  I also bought a separate case for Animation and Reality.  The two shows my kids like to watch with me, so they can get them without touching the big cases.
Anyway, since I am always in process, and I am pleased with what I am doing, and how I am doing it, I see no reason to mix it up with new year's resolutions. I'm not the type of person that forces himself to do something new just for the sake of doing something new. If something needs to be changed, I change it at that time. I wouldn't wait till January 1 to start doing it. That would be stupid, and I would probably lose my motivation to do anything anyway.  Happy New year everyone.


Okay, I guess I could make one new year's resolution: Be more consistent with my blog. At least one new blog a week. That's not too much, is it?

Happy New Year!
