Real resolutions to make 2019 feel like a year of finally putting away unachievable goals from the past.

Martha lives in Illinois and was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in January 2015. She has a husband and three children, ranging in age from 12 to 18, a dog and a lizard.
Somewhere buried in the boxes that my parents once delivered to my house I might be able to find many years' worth of New Year's resolutions made as a pre-teen and teen. I don't have to actually see them to recreate them in my mind though, since a lot of them would appear on such a list if I wrote it today.
I am comforted by the idea that I am probably not alone in this situation. The stuff that we most want to change about ourselves or about life in general – which inconveniently always comes back to ourselves – is difficult and relentless and sometimes immutable.
