Resolute
I know, I know. Where have I been? I've been busy. Too busy. And a little stressed out with it. But I hope I'm back. Thom G's site is my favourite writing prompt site, so it's only appropriate that I start off the New Year with Three Word Wednesday.
Today's muse: Three Word Wednesday
Today's words: jovial, promise, resolute.

Resolute
Today is the first day of the new year.
I won’t lie and tell you I promise to write every day, or even every week.
The fact is, I lead a busy life. I have a frantic full-time job where I put in a lot of overtime. I look after my in-laws every Saturday. This leaves one day a week to myself—to write my novel, operate my small business, socialize with friends and family, and reestablish peace in my soul so that I can start the crazy ritual again on Monday.
It is not easy to maintain a jovial façade. In fact, I am a miserable failure at being happy.
But that ends today. Or, at least, I plan on trying to end it. My parents, gods love them, always told me they only wanted me to try my best. So that is what I will do.
Henceforth (I am a legal secretary), I will try my damnedest to write more often, take more time for myself, and make the time to finish my novel.
And I am most resolute in finding happiness.
