New Years Resolutions for Free Write Friday

Kellie Ellmore asks that we write on the prompt:  this weeks prompt:
“New Year’s Resolutions” with Free writing  —
also called stream-of-consciousness writing —
It should be free verse only and appear as a journal/diary entry.

.

Leave it alone as much as  possibly we can.
.
I don’t often write in paragraph form…
though occasionally I do…
but write as I have below…sometimes in bullets,
sometimes lists of thoughts, or outline.
What ever fits my mood. And often write in color.
===========================================

New Years Resolutions
.
I am a retired nurse…RN
and I have a quirk on
resolutions any time of the year.
.
Some time ago,
I started writing resolutions
in the form of a nursing care plan
stated with a problem,
reasonable goal date to accomplish,
and steps to accomplish.
.
It’s been a long time…
the first time i can remember
doing it was maybe thirty years
ago when it seemed I was
treading water.
.
The goals are kept
to one or two at a time
and usually something
I just need to get done
that I’ve been procrastinating.
.
New Years is a good time
to take a look back
and see where I want to go
in the next year.
.
Writing them down
gives me something
to measure….
and an interesting view
of my mind set
as the years roll on….
rolling faster
as I get older.
