Resolves are so easy to make but carrying them out is not so easy to do. Being human I will most likely continue to make resolves and procrastinate. It is unfortunate that some things are not as natural as breathing. It is difficult to start anything. It is easy to see others’ faults but we are blind to our own. When others try to point it out to us, we evade and make excuses. We hate to face our truths. I’m more awake now and seeing that in myself . I am resolving to do my best in changing my ways.

It helps to come to my keyboard and cement my thoughts and feelings in words. They are not so easily swept under clouds of forgetfulness. It is hard for me to show up these days without a challenge like the Ultimate Blog Challenge, the100dayproject and the dyicad. I have been feeling rudderless without words to tap and pictures to draw and paint. It is good that I still have Susannah Conway’s August Break photo challenge to start/end each day in August.

So I resolve to come to the keyboard each day even if it is a short stint. I will try to make a small art every day. I resolve not to dwell on mine or others’ faults. I will not push for others to face their truths. I will accept our human frailities. Excuses protect our fragility. Somethimes we need that. Sometimes we can’t face being broken open. And what good is being broken?
