It’s the beginning of a brand spanking shiny new year, full of hope and promise. That means, out with the old habits and in with the new resolutions. Lose weight, exercise more, eat healthier, save more money, blah, blah, blah. You all know the drill.
Personally, I don’t make resolutions. Probably because I know I’m not going to keep them anyway. If something needs to change in my life, it should change immediately and not just in January. I mean, if a person needs to lose weight for health reasons, by golly, lose some weight. It just makes sense. Don’t let the holidays and “all the eating” be an excuse to compromise your health. Same thing with saving money. Holidays are not excuse to go broke people. That’s not what Christmas is all about.
Anyway, enough from atop my soapbox. Let me turn your attention to one of the funniest people in the world (in my opinion) for some thoughts on new year resolutions. Enjoy.
Are you a maker of resolutions? Do you keep them? What’s your most unusual resolution? It’s okay to admit you make them. I’m not judging. Resolutions just don’t work of ME.
Word of the day: Scutage
Fun fact about me: I used to make the same resolutions every year. Thus, the forfeiture of resolutions altogether.

I totally agree with you about New Year’s Resolutions. I never do them.
BTW, I just accepted my draft notice back in 1966 instead of paying scutage.

Here’s to the non-resolution people! Huzzah! And here’s to a fabulous 2018.
I’m glad you fulfilled your patriotic duty. Scutage would not have been a good idea.

Ellen is so funny – thanks for the New Year’s laugh! I’m not a resolution maker, either. I decide to do something and just do it. Or not. 🙂 And holy crap, Ellen quoted a resolution of someone I know from Oregon! How weird is that?

Here’s to another fantastic non-resolution maker. Seems we are in the majority here.
Happy new year my friend!

We have a trifecta of non-resolution makers here so far. I make resolutions, but I don’t do them specifically at the new year. Sometimes I decide that something needs to change and I make plans right there and then to make those changes. Thus, a resolution.
Thanks for the happy supportive vibes. I know everything’s going to be okay. I just have to “put in the time” and put up with the crap until the doc says I’m good to go.
Happy new year to you as well. Here’s hoping the hubby has a very healthy 2018.
