it could happen

ah a new year!  and with that comes the proverbial resolution.  so much hope and promise.  an opportunity to set yourself straight.  or choose a completely different path.  its like the universe's way of offering a do over.  i like it.

i am not the resolution type but i do see value in them.  (for me they tend to fall in the same category as a car manual on a dvd . . . )  for those of you who have not resolved anything thus far allow me to offer you a couple of suggestions.  most of these are my thoughts.  however i have thrown in a couple from other people.  i always give credit where credit is due - but admittedly i do not have their permission.  choose a few if you'd like!
  • park as far away from the door of the building you are entering as you can
  • share what you have - your knowledge, wealth, love, advice, humor
  • talk less - listen more
  • do not interrupt
  • eat more delicious food (debby)
  • reflect
  • work with a purpose other than a paycheck
  • floss
  • have more fun this year than last year (randy)
  • learn to parallel park
  • take care of yourself physically and mentally
  • do what you say you are going to do when you say you are going to do it or don't say it
  • be on time
  • stop comparing yourself to others or who/how you used to be
  • offer more and take less
  • open your heart
  • plant something in the ground and tend it
  • take care of what you have
  • be nice to yourself
  • visit your friends and family more
  • say i love you often
  • become who you want to be known as
  • hand write thank you notes for all of your christmas gifts
  • under promise and over deliver
 and the very best thing you can do - be authentic and full of integrity even when no one is looking.

  1. Don't forget, crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women. Wait, that is Conan the Barbarian's resolution... Just go with it anyway.
