Resolutions Anyone?

Firstly, I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or Festivus. Whatever holiday you celebrate (or don't) then I just hope you enjoyed the time off from work...if you are lucky enough to have a job! Needless to say, it is now almost that time when you start to make your New Year's Resolutions. Do you do that? I gave up years ago as they always only lasted for a few days. Plus, it always seemed like the things I resolved to do were out of my reach, things that only a miracle could change.


So, how many of you sit there on January 1st every year with a list of Resolution's that you either manage to stick with or do you end up throwing the list on the fire after a few days? It always seemed to me that most people's resolutions were pretty vague anyways. You know the ones I'm talking about - I resolve to be a better person this year. Well, in my MOST humble opinion the only way you can become a better person is to pinpoint WHY you think you are NOT a good person. So, wouldn't you say - I resolve to not be so nit picky about X or I resolve to be more patient while listening to people. Give me a clue then as to how many of you actually do all that AND follow through?? I'd love to hear it. Meanwhile, have a great New Year's Eve and PLEASE don't drink and drive.

  1. I think it's totally silly. Never made a new years resolution, never will. I'm a work in progress 365 days a year.

  2. Every year I resolve to try something new and I do! Although I never really know what that is going to be--it just sort of happens. Gives me something to look forward to. :)

  3. I'm with Lin. I try to do something new every year. Last year I wanted to learn to knit but didn't get it done so it's on my list this year too.

    Happy New Year to you!

  4. I can't say that I am a big fan of making resolutions because then you seem doomed to fail before you start. That being said, I have decided (and started today) to take better care of ME. Better diet,more exercise, all that stuff. I just want to be a better me, that's all.
    Happy New Year to you!
