New Year’s resolution

Often I make a “soft” list of hopes at the new year–things that I want to do, but that I’m not going to pull my hair out if I don’t. This year, though, the date came and went, and I couldn’t even be moved to do the soft list. Instead, only one thing has occurred to me that warrants resolve.

I resolve to leave shorter voice mail messages for people. I tend to ramble, and often repeat myself. It’s not much of a resolution, I know, but it will make my life and those of the people I call just a little better.

    i fully support long-winded voice mails! as someone who’s rarely home, and rarely answers her cell phone, epic voice mails are one of the few ways i actually hear my friend’s voices, and get a sometimes meanful update! so, by all means, GD, if you feel the urge…call and leave me a lenghty one!
