New Year Resolution

Source

Jane faced the blank paper, her pen poised to create her annual New Year’s Resolutions.  In all fifty-eight years (not counting the early years), Jane had determined, no, absolutely committed writing out these resolutions.

She wrote the same ancient promises each year:  lose weight, exercise more, and attend church more frequently, etcetera.    She read the list and grimaced.

Jane wadded the paper and threw it at the trashcan.

The OCD**part of her would have insisted that she retrieve the wad and place it properly.  

But Jane had already started a new list:  Do what I damn well please.
