resolutions, briefly

I resolve to let go of negative feelings, situations and people. This includes my own sense of regret, circumstances I simply cannot improve more than I already have and people who, although they, like everyone, possess some good qualities, are emotional vampires who will suck me dry, but only if I let them.

I resolve to remain a former smoker, and also to eat better and exercise more, because I know how good that feels. I also resolve to be patient with myself when I stumble.

I resolve to take better care of myself. If I took care of me the way I take care of Bean, I’d be in fantastic shape. And have a baby-soft bottom.

I resolve to finish at least one of the creative projects that have been bouncing around, unchaperoned in my head. Even if it’s just a 365 project started on my 33rd birthday in February.

I resolve to attend at least one tweetup.

I resolve not to settle, ever again.

Last but not least, I resolve to temper my affinity for run-on sentences and also fragments. Maybe.

My name is María. I like wasabi, patronize bunny rabbits and think red wine really needs to stop pretending it's not purple.

I lived in Caribbean for four glorious years. My son - Joaquín the illustrious Bean - was born on the island of Grenada. He's beautiful, brilliant and has two birth certificates.

Now we're back in the land of snow and afternoon sunsets, and all the diet Coke and Thomas the Tank Engine in the world won't cushion the blow of such culture shock.

This is our story.
