I Resolve

It's that time of yearo where we make promises to ourselves to be better people.  We make grand resolutions and stick to them as though we've made a blood oath on the life of the most important person in our lives.

What you normally barely keep your resolutions a month and have decided they are pretty much a waste of time? That's okay. I'm the same way, so the question is are new years resolutions a waste of time? My answer is no, and I hope this blog will encourage you to make some. The first thing to be determined is "WHY' Why make a new years resolution? The best answer is to better yourself. But I don't even keep it. After a month I start slipping into my old habits. By two months, I've failed. Yeah, so, that's like two months that you improved yourself that never would have happened. Plus, who knows? Maybe this is the year you breakthrough. I think it's silly to make new years resolutions. I can change anytime, darn it. Yeah, that's true. You can vow to improve in June, but it's January or almost. Let's make a new years resolution. Most people yearn to be habits of ritual and tradition. New years represents a time of new beginnings. Make it a new start for you too. Yay! We're all inspired and ready to conquer the world, but take a seat and stop the fist pumping for a moment.

I'd like to offer a couple tips for keeping your resolutions. • make reasonable ones. You probably won't go from couch potato to health nut overnight, so why not cut out late night snacks and start a small exercise schedule • if you slip up a little, just keep going. If you miss a day or relapse a day, you can always start over the next day. Oh and don't try to make up for missed days. That's it friends, my new years resolutions motivational blog.

The return of my blogs.

Okay, My life is back to normal (sort of) I am starting what will be a new year's resolution to blog more, early.  I am going to finish my Christmas shopping today.  I am so looking forward to this holiday season being over.  That is one of the weird things about this time of year. I love it and look forward to it. I think it is the only holiday season that really brings out the best in people.  What other holiday stresses giving and helping out other so much?  I think that is a wonderful thing, but as much as I look forward to Christmas and its selfless and giving nature, I am always happy to see it go.
It seems like this year more and more people have wished me a Merry Christmas. I often wonder why Christmas is the only holiday not fronted with happy. I am going to go now, but I will be posting much longer blogs from now on as I try to dig deeper into my psyche.  A Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to all.
