I should try harder. But making resolutions takes such effort. You have to reflect deeply on outstanding flaws and defects in your personality and/or lifestyle, and decide how these might be redressed in terms of moderately challenging yet ultimately achievable goals. And then go out and implement this programme of self-improvement for as long as possible, or at the very least till mid-January. At which point, the fact that you have failed doesn't seem so bad, as you have at least made an effort to overcome your deficiencies, even if at the end of the day you still have them. And possibly a few others, such as a proven inability to complete a simple set of self-improvement tasks. I have enough of this sort of thing with my annual appraisal at work. It is not particularly motivating.
It was drizzly again today. To be topical, I thought I would post a picture I took on Christmas Day. The white stuff is clouds, descending quite low, rather than snow, which has yet to appear around these parts.
