Things.

I go through “things.” I wanted to be a writer. And then I worked at a pharmacy one summer and thought, “Hmm…maybe I should be a pharmacist instead.”

And then I decided I was going to read two new books each month. My next “thing” was running, then decluttering my apartment, then hot yoga & blogging, soon followed by learning about wine.

I tried cooking; that lasted for about a half-hour until I decided it wasn’t for me. I journaled. I wrote ideas on huge pieces of paper with Sharpies. I even considered re-learning how to play the flute.

And now…my “thing” is to learn something new each day. Even if that sounds like a New Year’s resolution you’ve heard 100 times. And even if that thing is small.

Today? Today, I learned how to cut a mango.
