Making and breaking New Year’s Resolutions is one of the most universal experiences. To break this rancorous cycle of hope, despair, and anger, I’m instead starting to set resolutions for my birthday, to achieve in the coming year of my life.

Greetings to my Birthday Resolutions blog!

Setting a Birthday Resolution is as arbitrary as setting one for New Year’s, but perhaps the impending sense of my own mortality will give me a kick up the butt and help me prevail.
