To-day, because a person is like a tree, which dies first on top, to-day, I am going to start reading a new book. Not a book I have read as a child, not a book that was required reading for a Lit class, and not a book that I've dog-eared to shreds rereading. A real, honest-to-goodness, heretofore unread book.
To-day, because I am after all mortal like the rest, I will sleep a full eight hours. I must somehow scrape up enough EQ to put down whatever I'm doing and sleep.
To-day, because it simply won't do to set a bad example, I will be on time for work. I was late for two minutes yesterday, and as far as I'm concerned, that's plenty late for the entire year.
...
Can't really say I lack ambition now, can you?
ETA: Started reading a collection of short stories by Guy de Maupassant. Was (a few minutes) early to work. I went to sleep nearly on time, got to sleep more than eight hours (by cutting into my preparation time), but did not feel quite so rested because I kept having these very energetic (and enervating) dreams.
