It seems kind of trite to make New Year's resolutions...because you can resolve to change any day of the year. However, as the Eve turned into the new year, I found myself deciding on certain things to change. It was almost like an instinct took over as I began evaluating the previous year. I became resolute and had a stronger desire to do better, to change parts of my life and be stronger this year.
While thinking of these areas to improve, I kept thinking about something my best friend Brent told me a long time ago...A goal unwritten is just a dream. So my first "resolution" is to get these things on paper where I can look at them frequently.
In addition, I'm reminded of Benjamin Franklin, who kept a book of virtues and graded his own change over time. Ever since I learned of it, I've thought it was a wonderful idea. But I've never attempted it successfully. Of course, in order for me to do it my way, I'd have to write a program to keep track of my progress! I'll have to think more about that one.
Well, I hope you have a Happy New Year. I also hope you can make change for the better in your life as you see necessary. Don't quit. And if you slip...(we all do)...pick yourself back up and resolve to get back on track. Keep going and you'll reach your goal. You can do it!
