New Year Resolutions

I have heard that you should believe in something. I am not a big believer. I am more of a skeptic. One thing I do not believe in, is New Year resolutions. I don't believe that I will wake up tomorrow all new and shiny--despite promises declared in a sleep deprived, potentially inebriated, state. But, if I were going to make one, I might consider something a bit different than losing weight. I think the world needs more people that promise...
to be kind. This can take a lot of paths. Be imaginative. Say please and thank you.
  • compliment. Sincerely. 
  • courtesy. Especially while driving. At the very least, be less aggressive. 
  • to be less offended. Assume best intentions, unless you know better.
  • to acknowledge the usual. Take less for granted. Say thank you. 
  • help others. Lots of opportunities, just open your eyes.
  • to put your phone down. Acknowledge the people you are with. You might even meet someone new.

The possibilities are endless, but my time is not. 


Happy New Year
