New Year‘s (non) Resolution for 2019
Just a list of simple things that I want to do this year
In the last years, I have always made some “new year’s resolution” (here are the ones I made in 2017 and 2018), but strangely enough – at least for me – this year I can’t think of anything. More than one people asked me, but I couldn’t come up with something even remotely meaningful.
According to Wikipedia, a New Year’s resolution is “a tradition […] in which a person resolves to change an undesired trait or behaviour, to accomplish a personal goal or otherwise improve their life”. Actually, this year I can’t think of anything that I am unhappy of, and that I want to “improve”. I can’t say if it’s a good or a bad thing. This year it goes like this.
But I have a few things that I want to do, this year. They are not resolutions, just things that I enjoyed doing in 2018 and that I want to continue to do (and do more) in the next months.
