Resolutions

It's a new year, which means new resolutions...for some of us. I find if funny that everyone goes crazy over coming up with a resolution. The most popular one probably being hitting the gym for the "tourist season." These are the people who show up Jan. 1st ready to shed the holiday pounds. They stick around for maybe about three weeks and then life gets too busy and SNAP--the resolution is broken. So why even make a resolution? I never make one because I am not disciplined enough to keep one. Also, shouldn't I try to better my life every day instead of just once a year? OK, OK, I know it's a new year, with that brings change, but it's only a new year for so long. Then it just becomes another year in history.

One of the definitions of "resolution" at dictionary.com is a determination. That makes me think that people are not happy until they accomplish whatever it is they need to do. But how many people actually follow through with their new year's resolution? So instead of coming up with a silly resolution, I am going to make a list of goals. If I get any accomplished this year then I'll give myself a pat on the back; if not, then so be it. No harm done.
