"Revolution" was the term used by our parish priest on his homily with yesterday's mass. i thought it was just one of his jokes, to play with the words, thinking that the s was just replaced with the v. it was only after a short while did i get his meaning by new year's revolutions.
when one says resolutions, these are his intentions to reverse his bad habits or ways of previous years (e.g i will try to lessen my smoking.). but when one says revolution, and i take it this was what my favorite priest implied with his homily, it is a complete turnaround from one's bad habits. it is not just an intention to change, but a conviction. (e.g. i will not smoke anymore.)
while i think i have clearly explained the difference between the two, i would like to make my own list of reSolutions. the other term, though i would love to use, is too strict for me. i am not exactly a promise-breaker, guess i am just cautious with making my vows.
i will TRY:
1. not to shout my words when mama can not hear me
2. not to mess up my room anymore (i still don't promise to clean it myself..heeeheee)
3. to reply at important text messages when i have load
4. not to come late during mass
5. to be more patient and more godmotherly with James
6. to shave my legs regularly
7. to stick with my 'apple a day' routine
8. to lessen my consumption of sweets
9. to jog again during weekends
10. to pray before dozing off
it would be good to fulfill these resolutions. these may not seem to be a real about-face from my unsatisfactory habits, but at least i can say that i am a better person after the accomplishment of the things above. as they say it, do things one at a time.
Happy New Year!:)
