Resolution
Microfiction
Miguel last attempted a New Year’s resolution in 2020, but the pandemic wiped out his quest to lose a few inches from his waistline in a hurry. In fact, by year’s end, he was forced to buy new pants.
By 2022 he’d gotten his weight under control, all of his important relationships were intact, and he was relatively happy in both his professional and personal pursuits.
The problem was that the world was still in shambles.
Miguel decided to complete an act of kindness every day. He hoped a small ripple would form, extending outward, reaching others in his community.
For some reason, it was easy to stay the course this year. Or was it simply easy to be kind? Either way, the year came and went. By the end of it, Miguel felt different. More complete? More empathetic?
Whatever the difference, he vowed to carry through with the same resolution for the following year.
Happy New Year to you all! I hope you have a healthy & personally fulfilling year. Please feel free to comment below. I always enjoy reading your responses!
