Two weeks ago, the gyms were crowded, the to-do lists were long, and the resolutions were still going strong.
But it's easy to let those new intentions slide 鈥� especially if lifting the TV remote counts as exercise.
Have you had a New Year's resolution that only lasted a few days? Tell us about it in a couplet 鈥� a short and sweet poem with two lines that rhyme. Here's an example from Kwame Alexander, NPR's poet-in-residence.
To the flower box I forgot to water, the dinner rolls I swore I wouldn't eat;
To the old friends I still don't call, to my continued obsession with red meat.
To the empty church pew, the tithes not paid.
And to not posting less on my Facebook page
