Sherman's list of New Year's resolutions wasn't very long. Experience had taught him that the longer the list, the easier it was to lose focus for a day or two somewhere in the middle of January and decide not to bother at all.
The trick, if there was one, was to think hard about what was important to you and pick no more than three things that captured the essence of who you wanted yourself to be in the coming year.
And so his list read as follows:
- Clean a few beaches
- Learn to understand whale songs
- Stop eating meat
Now, as a great white shark, that third item would be tricky but what better time to challenge yourself than on that first blank page of a shiny New Year?
Good luck to Sherman and to all of you out there with lists of resolutions in hand. I would like to post daily on Hive next year but I also resolve to be kind to myself if that doesn't quite work out as planned.
If you'd like to post your own freewrite, check out today's prompt. Until then, Happy Old Year's Day 😉!
