Exceptional A new perspective Out With The Old by BlueMarble Resolutions writing prompt entry

Happy New Year one and all.  It’s that time again.  Time to reflect on the past and resolve a future that will make our dreams come closer to true.   Every year for the past good many years I’ve clung to the same New Year’s resolution and once in a while I’ve been able to make it work. I found it in an old song by country singer Bill Anderson --   “Don't bring me down cause you feel funky It ain't my job to tote your monkey.”   Throughout the year I frequently found reasons to grab that thought and remind myself of my resolution so why change a good thing.  So often while listening to unreal requests or complaints it popped into my head and I would sing a few lines while moving forward with my day.   That’s all in the past now. With the changes that have crept into my life I find that it’s time to sing a new song.   Late stages of dementia have stolen most of a loved one’s mind and it really is my job to tote his monkey.  I’ll be changing my tune with this year’s resolution --   “Lord for my sake Teach me to take  One Day At a Time” Writing Prompt It's the start of a brand new year. Time for a fresh beginning and a renewed commitment. Write about your New Year's Resolution in 300 words or less.
