At last, 2013 comes to a close. 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.
But there is one thing I find so annoying, that I tend to shirk every social post and comment about it.
NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS!!!
Don’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’s your New Year’s resolution?? Why, WHY, WHY do I need to make any?
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’t. So no, I won’t be making any resolutions any more. I am better off correcting myself throughout the year than piling everything on at once.
Besides, there’s always Lent for that π

“Carrying bail money”
I resolve not to forget that nugget. π

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
What can I say? I’m a great friend π

Indeed you are Aggie. π

I’m resolving to eat more bacon. π

I thought this was an every day thing… silly me π

So… resolving to keep on keepin’ on. Sounds like you got it covered. π I don’t do resolution either. They are simply a sure way to guarantee something doesn’t get done. π

EXACTLY!!! π

I resolve to break more resolutions.

Sometimes you make me wonder… π

I resolve not to allow anyone to coerce me into eating black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day for “good luck”.
That practice always confused me. How is bringing on projectile vomiting supposed to bring you good luck? Those things are fargin’ nasty! Maybe I’ll start a new tradition of eating liver and onions on New Year’s Day for good luck. π

I never understood that, either. But I do like the Mexican tradition of eating twelve grapes as the clock strikes midnight.
You can keep the liver and onions, though π

I always make resolutions because I know I will break them and that allows me at the end of the year to assess all my failures and make resolutions to correct those failures. It’s a viscious circle, but it makes me happy.
I did resolve to learn how to spell, indefinitely, correctly.

At least it’s not a viscous circle, so you have that going for you, too π

Sithy New Year, Aggie!

And a badgery one to you, too π
