Dear Resolution09

It’s been a long while since we corresponded. How have you been?

I know you might not be so enthusiastic about seeing this email from me but please, don’t roll your eyes at this point now. I admit, I haven’t been all that well and true to you since the last time. But I just want you to know that I REALLY tried my best. All those promises that I made the last time, I really meant it. And I did put in my best effort at making it all true.

That daily exercise regime that I promised you? I did get to it. I woke up earlier everyday to do a set of crunches and push-ups. I actually did set out to do a 3km run every day for 7 days straight. And then, you know, life happens. I got busy the night before and started waking up late for work. And when I eventually had the drive and desire to go for a run, it will always start to rain oh so heavily! Can you believe it?! I know! An absolutely ridiculous coincidence!

I should make it up to you one day. Maybe cook you a meal or something. How about that? Oh, but just so you know, I didn’t really get down to learning the 5-minute-recipe cookbook that we got the last time we went out. Everytime I reached the shopping mall, the supermarket had closed. And it didn’t help that there was always someone out there who would be inviting me over for lunch, dinner and even breakfast.

I can understand that you are upset with me about this whole thing and that’s the reason you left me. But I just want you to know that I’ve taken a long hard look at myself and am changing my ways. No, it’s not the same like the last time.

So, you heard about 2010 eh? Yeah, things with Resolutions 2010 has been good so far. I know it’s still early days but we’ve been together for about 3 weeks now and all seems well. Although the freak weather has been putting a slight dent into our daily exercise plans, we’ve been making up for it by going for long cycling rides over the weekend.

While we are now apart, I hope we can still be friends. I hope you will send me your address so that I can look you up and you know, just catch up. I tried to Google “the place where old resolutions go to die” but there wasn’t any useful hits. I hope to hear from you soon.

P.S, As part of 2010, I resoluted (if there is such a word) to reply all emails as promptly as I could but you know, delayedmail.com isn’t really the most efficient email provider out there so I might take about 2 weeks to reply your email but I promise, I will reply you ASAP!

Regards,
The procrastinator
