Pondering with a Purpose - Resolutions

Welcome to Pondering with a Purpose -

 This is my weekly hop where I post a prompt and you get to write to it on your blog - come back here and add it to my linky and then we all get to go read what you wrote!

I started Pondering with a Purpose because -- simply put -- I am a writer - - that is what I do (I just can't help myself)! And although I love following all the hops, I wanted to see if I could bring out some creativity in not only myself, but some of my blogger friends as well.

The rules are really easy:

1. Grab the Pondering with a Purpose Badge (in my sidebar)
2. Look at the week's prompt
3. Post something on your blog that relates to the prompt - it can be a story, a poem, a picture -- anything you want it to be.
4. Come back here and add the URL from your post to the linky list below.
5. Go check out the other bloggers who have added their links to the list.
6. AND most of all.... Have fun!


This Week's prompt is:                             Resolutions

I had decided not to make any resolutions because quite honestly I don't believe in them. It's not that I think that I don't have anything to improve upon -- far from it! There is always room to improve -- it's just that I feel like if I set up myself up with a list of resolutions it is just one more list of things that will not get completed and I am not really into setting myself up for more failures. So I stopped doing the whole resolution thing a few years ago . . . BUT two years ago I made a promise to myself to stop being so critical of others and not judge so harshly.

WELLL..... as you know I just changed jobs. I had a huge staff meeting today and met a whole lot of new people. And I work in a business where we need to know what we do, so self-confidence is really important. Now I have to say that I am quite proud of myself as I met everyone and actually kept an open mind about meeting new people and they were all quite nice.

Then I got in the car and started to drive home. Traffic is the pits in Los Angeles - in case you needed to be reminded - and I started out at 4:30. So when I was almost home and getting onto the final leg of my trip - which happens to be a 2 lane bridge, WHY would someone decide it is OK to scoot up the right side and try to SHIMMY in? DID they not see the lane end in the same PLACE everyone else did? What kind of an idiot were they anyway?

Man that pissed me off.... all my hard work of not judging out the window in a nano second --- all because some jerk wanted to wait in line in FRONT of me  . . . instead of BACK of me.

So... if you would like to write about what resolutions you have or have not made and post it and link it up . . . that would be great. If not, just go ahead and leave a comment!
