Well, there\u2019s only a couple of days left in this year, so it\u2019s about time for the annual ritual of making New Year\u2019s Resolutions. Both the faithful readers of this blog, know that I usually make resolutions and like most people, I don\u2019t keep them\u2026. But this year is going to be different.<\/p>\n
Before I get too far into this, I\u2019ll pass on a bit of advice to my two faithful readers, who for some reason or another seem to have become infatuated with exercise. Anyhow, here\u2019s my advice \u2014 if you\u2019re considering buying any workout equipment, wait until about March and then check the classifieds. You\u2019ll see tons of equipment being sold with the absolutely true claim that it\u2019s \u201clike new\u201d or \u201cused rarely.\u201d You can pick up some good bargains.<\/p>\n
But, back to my resolutions for the coming year\u2026
\n\u2022 I will learn to recite the alphabet backwards in less than 10 seconds.
\n\u2022 I will break a record (not sure which one yet, it may be a personal record or maybe even a world record of some sort. I\u2019m very excited about this one.)
\n\u2022 I will make a new friend every month.
\n\u2022 I will do something that I normally do, differently at least once a week. (For instance I usually order an Oreo Blizzard at Dairy Queen \u2014 maybe I\u2019ll order an M&M Blizzard instead. I\u2019m also very excited about this one.)
\n\u2022 I will not singlehandedly cause global warming.
\n\u2022 I will try to do something nice for someone every week.
\n\u2022 I also resolve to be less than perfect.
\nSo there you have it \u2014 a new year, new beginning and new resolutions.<\/p>\n
I mentioned earlier that most people, including me, don\u2019t keep their resolutions. So why bother?\u00a0Someone said that New Year\u2019s resolutions are a triumph of hope over experience. They are a means of cataloguing personal dissatisfactions and a method of erasing errors of the past year. I guess that\u2019s true \u2014 New Year\u2019s resolutions are about hope.<\/p>\n
But then again, who says I need to change, anyway? Even though I don\u2019t think so, I may be just perfect the way I am. Maybe all my quirks aren\u2019t things that need to be fixed, but things to be celebrated as unique to my personality and life. Maybe this year I\u2019ll just focus on the things I like about myself and leave this year\u2019s improvement plan for another year. I haven\u2019t decided \u2014\u00a0check back in March and I\u2019ll let you know which course I chose for 2016.<\/p>\n
Happy New Year to all\u2026..
\n\u2014 30 \u2014<\/p>\n
