The List

It is that time for the writing of resolutions.
Those promises made with the best of intentions.
We construct them to cover the remorse of the past.
In doing so retaining the hope that we can control our destiny.
An attempt to structure the chaos and make sense of the unexpected.

As the New Year beckons I will try to recall those tricks from my early days.
Of form fitting mini’s and hellish heels.
I will sparkle a bit and tint my lashes.
Rose up my cheeks and flash that memorized smile.

When I return the list will be formulated.
I love setting goals and this is my way to focus upon a better day.
The order of which is less important than the content.
One item will not be dependent upon the other and will mutually coexist within my life.

The first, to maintain a healthy life the foundation of everything.
The second, a trip to Paris which equates to a closer connection with friends and family.
The third, to continue to speak my truth and my mind without fear of the reactions.
The fourth, to be open to the potential of falling in love again.
I hope this is the last list I will ever need to write – sweet dreams and Happy New Years!!!
