Easter

I've put up photos from Easter. I'd say that the final Easter Brunch at the Johns Creek Lakly House was a raging success. I hope everyone had as good a time as I did.

Now for a New Tradition. I think New Year's resolutions are often doomed to failure because of when they fall in the calendar year. Who wants to concentrate on improving themselves in the middle of winter, surrounded by dead things, live viruses, and grumpy cooped-up children? Easter and spring are supposed to be a time of renewal, a time of rebirth (either in the natural world and/or the spiritual one), a time of beginnings. So why not Easter resolutions? Even if the holiday holds no religious significance to you, it does help mark the beginning of the spring. And if your resolution involves better health (as so many do), isn't it much easier to make a habit out of exercise in April rather than January?

So my resolutions. I will do something about the copious amounts of refined sugar I eat. I'm not going to quit, but I need to follow Cookie Monster's recent revelation that cookies are a sometimes food. And two Twix (or four) does not a breakfast make. I will meet with a nutritionist and develop an eating plan that makes sense. And I will run a half marathon before I am 30.

Care to join in? Leave your resolutions in the comments or on your blog.
