the 2nd of January

Everyone knows that resolutions start the day after the holiday. January 1st is a day of rest or recovery and is spent quietly in a home family room or kitchen. For sports fans there is plenty of entertainment on the screen. Movie goers are taking one last opportunity to watch the latest releases.

I would like to be honest about what I resolve to do in 2014. Part of my plans have not been decided yet, and part will be kept private- so there will not be a huge written commitment today.
I would like to give up the bitter taste that 2013 left lingering.
I would like to have a "child like optimism" again-  but that is not authentic.
How much of this fowl mood would slough off if I got a great aerobic/ endorphin sweat?
