TotD #28 & Thing-A-Day #6: February Resolutions
I've set New Year's resulotion or un-resolution but I haven't been carrying those plans out religiously. Maybe it's just a human weakness that I don't really want to face. Whenever we make a plan, we're doomed to encounter some unexpected changes. We can't foresee the future, so how can we plan everything out till the very last minute detail? I guess I'm only looking for futile excuses to justify why I haven't stuck with my own resolution. The truth is that I wasn't ready and I pushed myself. Obviously I wasn't going too far. But I feel ready now. At least for now I know that I can do this and I'll try my best. So here come my February resolutions.
1. I will lose 10 pounds. (I'm not going to set a time frame or deadline. I just know I'll lose these 10 extra pounds that don't belong to me.)
2. I will take a vigorous walk every day, whether it snows or rains outside.
3. I will finish reading the last 3 volumes of Proust's In Search of Lost Time in 2008.
4. I will make some serious and casual creative endeavors in the next 10 months.
5. I will write more.
6. I will talk less and listen more.
7. I will finish reading all the books on our shelves before buying any new book.

Everytime I see or hear the title of this book, I can't stop thinking of Madeleine.... :)
