So first I’d like to tell you a little story. I had this great and almighty plan. It popped into my brain while I was driving my car down a slightly less than wintery road (I live in Texas).
I knew instantly that this was it: my New Year’s Resolution.
It came to me from a cloud, like there could have been beams of light and a chior.

It was like Michael Angelo or Picasso or Christopher Durang when he writes his characters into another twist of madness. But, it was happy madness. The kind that makes me want to run as fast to a pad of paper as humanly possible because…I might offend the god/muses/universe by you know…forgetting.
Well, I forgot.
I swear, I’m so pissed about it.
The problem is with New Year’s Resolutions…that you really can’t control when you get the idea to change something about yourself. It can come to you at any time of day. In the swimming pool, on the toilet…in the car. And though, occasionally when an awesome song comes on when I’m listening to the radio I do dig through my glove box for an extra receipt and a pin so that I can write the song’s name down (I have a problem remembering names too) I didn’t seem to think a life changing epiphany was important enough to write down. It wasn’t important enough to possibly kill myself and someone else by writing while driving.
That is a learned skill by the way.
Well, actually no…that’s not it.
Hmm...

I didn’t write it down because I didn’t think I could POSSIBLY be stupid enough to forget…a LIFE CHANGING EPIPHANY. Apparently, my forgetfulness has no bounds. It’s kind of scary actually. Like…what’s next? My home address? My name?

And honestly like, when you see angels and beams of light and you hear a voice talk to you…you should like…at LEAST remember what they are saying…or at least that it happened.
See the worst part of it is, I didn’t even remember it ever happened until someone asked me what my New Year’s resolutions were. Then **ding** oh yeah…I had one of those. I remember being in the car…it was pretty life changing actually…and possibly inspired by the almighty.
I forgot.
Oh well.
