Some who know me know this has been a very rough year. Overall there is no end to my blessings, though. Family, friends, near and far, all are always in mind and heart.</p>
<p>But there is one thing I find so annoying, that I tend to shirk every social post and comment about it.</p>
<h1><em>NEW YEAR&#8217;S RESOLUTIONS!!!</em></h1>
<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong. I do like to socialize and have fun and watch fireworks and ring in the New Year. Out with the old, in with the new, right? (Which reminds me: I need to go through my closet and downsize.) But every time January rolls around, everyone asks me the same thing: What&#8217;s your New Year&#8217;s resolution?? Why, WHY, <strong>WHY</strong> do I need to make any?</p>

<p>I like food. I like drink. I fit into my clothes. I love and take care of my family. I take care of my health. I call my folks. I keep in touch with friends. In short, I do everything that covers most resolutions, including staying out of jail, and carrying bail money for those who don&#8217;t. So no, I won&#8217;t be making any resolutions any more. I am better off correcting myself throughout the year than piling everything on at once.</p>
<p>Besides, there&#8217;s always Lent for that 😀</p>
