Exercise, Fruit and Reading


Working on my three resolutions (yes I am about to tell all) is a bit of a challenge but that is why I thought they would be the best choice for those New Year’s Resolutions I was not going to tell you about.
The exercise has been the easiest, actually, which is a bit of a surprise for everyone I am sure. Getting fresh fruit is not easy with my living in the country and not able to run to the store every 2 days for fresh fruit. So we are trying canned and frozen fruits to stay on top of the plan.
The hardest thing I am facing (after 2 days) is the reading. Even though I have new glasses I find that I must take off the glasses in order to read which means keeping the book about 4 inches from my nose – not the most comfortable way to read. But even more challenging is finding that I lose interest quickly, my attention span is not what it used to be or else my choices are simply poor (which I find hard to believe after 55 years of earnest reading! It is true that books are generally not what they used to be; many books seem determined to create a trilogy out of a thought that really barely makes it as a novella (harsh but true judgment).
I persevere and also give myself a little slack; after all it’s only been 3 days! So how are you doing with your resolutions and are you allowing yourself to slip and then get back in the saddle? Be kind to yourself.
