I'm not good at 'em. Honestly, I have never really been stoked enough to think it through and follow through. This year I thought that I would try to stop hitting the snooze button. It stuck, but then magically somewhere around day 10 I relapsed.
Resolution, done.
So here we are, January 15th and I think I'm ready to make a new resolution.
I, Melissa I. Schenck, resolve to only read one book at a time. I promise to finish, in it's entirety, each and every piece of literature I begin, prior to starting another. There I said it, I declared it on the world wide web...no going back now. I am notorious for reading 12.5 books at once. Ask me what I'm reading at any given time, and I will gladly throw you a list that I've been working on for a while (due to my ADD reading style). This resolution proves to be extra difficult as I have recently acquired a rigorous reading list including, but not limited to:
Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
Soul Survivor by Philip Yancey
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
Bird By Bird by Anne Lamott
In The Name of Jesus by Henri Nouwen
East of Eden by John Steinbeck
Searching For God Knows What by Donald Miller
Etc., etc., etc. (Thanks Matthew!)
It's going to be a challenge my friends, but I'm up for it. Time to get my read on!
Cheers!
