Riposte Card No. 10: Ripped Resolutions!
Or, James Agate by Ani Castillo
We should all resolve not to make resolutions, and
has the perfect prompt. Riffing on diarist James Agate’s 1942 resolutions:1. To refrain from saying witty, unkind things, unless they are really witty and irreparably damaging.
2. To tolerate fools more gladly, provided this does not encourage them to take up more of my time.
… she combines the satisfaction of setting a goal for personal improvement with the joy of throwing such goals into the wind. Of course, you ought to recycle where facilities exist.
Ani’s Riposte Card was sent to paying subscribers in December, but there are still a few left for those who show the resolve to act NOW!
