Pancakes are a good start to the morning, especially when they're the first batch from a bowl I received as a Christmas present. They would have been better if I hadn't run out of lemon juice but you can't have everything.
So while I was sitting down to a small stack of carbohydrate goodness I started thinking on firsts, firsts happen all the time, sometimes we recognise them and pause to take them in but most times they go by unnoticed. For example how many people remember their first kiss, or first time driving alone, most of you right? Now try to remember your first cup of coffee, first interview, first time using the computer, first night on your own, first true loss of temper, first compliment. It's hard.
Even today, first day of the year, will you remember what you did today? I do, I made pancakes :)
Second resolution, I will read more good things, less junk - Dickens over fanfiction. I still like fanfiction but it is having the bad side affect of limiting my reading choices. I want to know more about my favourite stories, favourite universes but the downside is I am not looking as hard for new frontiers, new loves.
Third resolution -I will be more generous and adventurous with myself and others. Just like my reading material my life is in danger of stagnating. I am 24, my life's patterns should not be set yet. I have dreams of what I want to do, but lack the courage to do them, or the funds. I will cut corners and search out the unseen experience. Newtown is full of them! If I can't find one there I won't find one anywhere!
For everyone January is a month of promises, both kept and broken. I will do my best to make 2012 a year not soon forgotten.
