Walk Like an Egyptian-Bangles

So...on this second day of the New Year...I have already challenged a resolution of 2005.
Call me weak, non-commital, a procrastinator....but I also wonder, as I sit in my most comfortable bed, wrapped in non allergenic down, that...
ONCE RESOLUTIONS ARE MADE...ARE THEY DESIGNED TO BE BROKEN?

I made many, one being that I would walk either outside in the Wisconsin elements, or downstairs in the treadmill surrounded by motivational posters...Brad Pitt, Hugh Grant, and others.

I strayed from my promises...smoked almost a full pack of cigarettes, in the house, from morning till...well tonight.

I kept several promises...made a real dinner/not frozen, cleaned up the house, told those who live in my house that I loved them, balanced the check book, and organized a photo book.

A few houses away, my friend broke promises too. She continued to smoke, stayed on the phone with me for over 30 minutes, and did not tell her family that she loved them.

I promise to walk tomorrow. I will walk with a playlist in ear, Alternative 80's music as motivation. I will spy into windows of the houses nearby, and wonder if they too, are breaking promises and resolutions just days after they have been made.

Walk Like a Man, Walking on Sunshine, Walk on the Wild Side, Walk on By, and Walk This Way
