Everything else? Well.....
Is not making any resolutions your resolution for the new year?
If you chose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
January 1 - Millions set out to read their entire Bible
January 4 - Dozens still reading their entire Bible
Oh, well. That resolution didn’t last long.
You beat me to it.
Well, just a nightly prayer:
If Biden is gone before I wake, I pray to God the news ain’t fake.
I am a teetotaler myself but like the vow:
“I’m not going to drink any more this year.
I’m not going to drink any less, either.”
If it was important, I’d already be doing it
I already spend too much money on ‘vintage stuff’.
The best resolution I’ve seen anyone make this year is to spend LESS money all around.
I usually have a good list of positive New Years resolutions each year. It gives me something to give up for lent.
A year ago, I resolved to post a video on Youtube, read 30 books and attend a Christmas Eve church service. I fulfilled all of those. However, I also resolved to visit Texas, which I was unable to do. This year’s resolutions include posting a Rumble video and visiting Washington, DC.
I stick to my resolutions every year.
The secret is not to make impossible resolutions.
Much of it is old style virtue signaling.
I was the first kid on the block to stop making resolutions which is why I’m so much better than the rest of you.
My only resolution is to remember to write 2023 on checks.
12/31/1981 I was in a bar in Hong Kong. At the time the ships store sold cigarettes for 25 cents a pack. At 11:59 that night I took the last drag off from a Marlboro Light cigarette. I returned to the Guided Missile Destroyer USS Buchanan DDG-14 anchored out in port and never picked up another one since. I believe the key to making a resolution is to be determined. Set your mind to it. Just do it!
People who go to the gym have a love hate relationship with Resolutionists. We love them because people who join the gym and stop showing up after a month or 2 keep our membership cheaper. But we hate them in January when they’re actually showing up, taking up all the machine, doing everything wrong, and not following any of the etiquette.
Mac Davis, the 70’s singer and I have a lot in common which is why I don’t do resolutions.
“Oh Lord, it’s hard to be humble
When you’re perfect in every way
I can’t wait to look in the mirror
‘Cause I get better lookin’ each day
To know me is to love me
I must be a hell of a man
Oh Lord, it’s hard to be humble
But I’m doin’ the best that I can”
In reality, I was born without an introspection gene. I just roll with it.
