Entries titled, “New year resolution” from a young woman’s diary.
January 1 2015:
Create a collection of your own miniature art. Make one every month.
By May 2015, an empty box labeled, ‘My Art’, found its permanent residence on the floor beside her brown stool.
January 1 2016:
You’re an art student for crying out loud! It doesn’t matter if you hate history. Read ‘Art through the ages’.
Gardner’s book soon joined the dusty box.
January 1 2017:
Learn ballroom dancing. Lose weight.
On April 22nd 2017, a few dozen spiderlings emerged from the labyrinth inside the dancing shoes. They viewed their neighborhood built by broken resolutions.
-Yuhu!

Oh Yuhu, I do so like this take on the prompt. I gave up on New Year’s Resolutions ages ago. Every day is new resolution day for me and that’s enough to contend with!

HA HA … tongue-in-cheek humor. I never make resolutions for the same reason you’ve outlined
in your story. They usually don’t get done. This was a great way to approach the challenge. Well done …
