Better Late Than Never

While at the pool today, I was talking to a woman who was also was there because of a New Year's resolution. Except this year, she decided to take the guilt out of any possible failure and keep it positive. Her New Year's resolution is "better late than never".  Here it is the first day of March, and and she just got her Christmas cards out in the mail last week....better late than never.

It got me to thinking just how this new approach to change would work.

 I will tell members of my family that I love them every time I see them....better late than never.

This year I will eat right, drink more water, and exercise....better late than never.

I will floss my teeth at least once a day....better late than never.
 
I will de-clutter my house by taking on one room at a time....better late than never.

I will take pictures of those items I always thought should be sold and list them on eBay...better late than never.
 
When the change oil light comes on in my car, I will take it in for service sometime that week....better late than never.

The fuel light came on in my car. I will get gas tomorrow....better late than. Uh oh.

When I get the renewal notice for AAA I will send the check in as soon as possible....darn.

I will charge my phone when I see the battery is low....oh crap.

By the time I walk two miles in the pouring rain to the nearest gas station and return to put gas in my car so I can make it back to the gas station and fill up the car with gas so I can make it to the AAA office to renew my road side assistance policy and still have time to get to the Jiffy Lube to get the oil changed in the car, then stop by the store to pick up fresh fruit, vegetables, bottled water, and rice cakes, I will still have time to get to the Dairy Queen and have a Chocolate Caramel Pecan Fudge Lava Sundae...
better late than never.
