New Years Resolutions

12/27/2013

Well, we made it through another year. Custom dictates that  resolutions and goals for 2014 are ready to be made. Some people will resolve to lose weight and stick to a diet plan. Some people resolve to learn something new, like another language or others hope to kick unhealthy habits like smoking or compulsive shopping.

  There was a time that in my life that I never really liked New Year’s resolutions. In fact, I had years when I did not make any, or if I did, they were sure to end up in the never-to-be-seen-again pile of stuff hidden out of sight.  Why did I so hate resolutions? I believe it’s because I never really felt good with myself after the completion of a resolution. The resolutions I was making had no life-enhancing experiences.

So now I make resolutions that keep my interest and bring happiness to my life rather than limiting myself to the once-a-year, do-or-die goals.  I make resolutions that don’t suck. Things that I really want to do and believe that I can get done. It may seem like a no-brainer, but setting the bar too high or not having your heart in it is just setting yourself up for failure. There will still be a few of those resolutions on my list that should be done for health and welfare. But the majority will give me an opportunity to tickle a funny bone of life and bring on a smile.  

As the Rolling Stones once put it, "you can't always get what you want, but if you try sometime, you just might find you get what you need."

Here is a list of my goals and resolutions. Everything here can put a smile on my face and should be attainable.
