You\u2019re probably aware that in the past couple of years, I cut back on the number of resolutions I make. I\u2019ve shortened my yearly list and made each resolution more realistic, with a better chance of success. I plan to go with that plan again this year.\u00a0<br>But, as promised, here\u2019 s how I did with my resolutions for 2022\u2026.here\u2019s last year\u2019s list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 Even though in the past, I\u2019ve resolved to be nicer to people, this year I resolve to be extra nice to people that do exactly what I want.<br>+ I did pretty good on this one. I think, in general, that I was nicer this year\u2026 but in fairness, some people that I could have been extra nice to, didn\u2019t do anywhere near what I wanted \u2014 something beyond my control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 Although I don\u2019t read, or understand, \u201cTweets,\u201d and in the past I\u2019ve resolved (unsuccessfully) to do one, this year I resolve to <em>write<\/em> one.<br>+ Well, I\u2019m kind of proud to say that I still haven\u2019t \u201ctweeted,\u201d and in all honesty I didn\u2019t even write one this year. Seems like the whole year I kept hearing about the Elon Musk takeover of Twitter. And since it\u2019s happened, I won\u2019t be tweeting anytime soon \u2014 like ever. Musk buying Twitter was beyond my control and the reason I couldn\u2019t complete this resolution<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 Last year I resolved to become really good at procrastination \u2014 I think I\u2019ll be able to accomplish that this year \u2014 or maybe next year.<br>+ I think I did really good with this one, I have a pretty long list of things I didn\u2019t accomplish this year, so I pushed them into 2023. I guess I\u2019d have to give myself a \u201cjob well-done\u201d for this resolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 I resolve to be more optimistic in 2022 \u2014 I will always look at my wine glass as half-full, not half empty.<br>+ Once again, I think I did good \u2014 my optimism has increased. We increased our deliveries of wine and I now see my glass as not only half-full, but refillable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So all-in-all I\u2019d say I did pretty good with my resolutions for this year. Now during the next couple of weeks, I\u2019ll put together my list for 2023\u2026. seems like the older I get the harder it is to come up with resolutions that will make me an even better person. But keep checking this blog to see how I\u2019ll strive to be better next year.<br>\u2014 30 \u2014<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know you\u2019ve all been waiting, and it\u2019s again that time of year when I report back to you on how I did with this year\u2019s New Year Resolutions.
