The Resolution......

It's the beginning of another New Year. The period when we first test the New Year Resolution. I'm feeling confident. My resolution is the same one I've made for the last decade or more. Again this year I'm going to quit smoking. I like this particular resolution because I haven't smoked in a long, long time. Not much chance I'm going to fail this one. My initial reasoning was...wanting to see my kids grow up and witness how their lives develop. Being a part of their lives was the great motivator. Needless to say, I'm still here and hoping to be around long enough to witness the next generation. It's a good feeling!! If I hadn't quit a long time ago....who knows what the present would be like. 

Making a New Year resolution should be a reasonable challenge. One that can be easily reached. By selecting a 'doable' challenge, you also eliminate the stress and guilt that often plagues us if we fail. A small resolution is perfectly fine. An easy one is too.

If you think you reached too high, there is a solution. Trade down to a resolution that you know you can can keep. It'll make you feel good because you know you will be able to meet your goal. 

Happy New Year!!    Be strong!! (-;
