Resolutions


As the New Year starts to reveal itself, many of us are beginning to struggle with the Resolutions that we have made to be a wiser person or to do something better. Most of us -- including me -- make resolutions such as ...


... Spend more time with family
... Lose weight/get fit
... Drink less
... Be nicer to so-and-so
... Help others
While I can offer the Dear Reader little advice on how to succeed (other than don't give up, if you mess up), I thought you might find some solace and wisdom in the following quotes:

"Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

"A New Year's resolution is something that goes in one Year and out the other." ~ Unknown

"It depends on us... another year lies before us like an unwritten page, an unspent coin, an unwalked road. the pages we will read, what treasures will be gained in exchange for time, or what we find along the way, will largely depend on us." ~ Esther Baldwin York

"New Year's Resolution: To tolerate fools more gladly, provided this does not encourage them to take up more of my time." ~ James Agate

"The future ain’t what it used to be." ~ Yogi Berra
