Resolved

I'm beginning to think about New Year's Resolutions and plan what I'll resolve for next year.  I always like this project.  I usually use it as an opportunity to think of things I would like to do or accomplish in the next year.  I give myself goals to aim for.  I seldom do negative resolutions, --just positives that I'll try to accomplish.

I was able to do most of my resolutions for last year.  I choose things I really think are worth while so it's relatively easy to do what I resolve. 

Today's cartoon about Blondie and Dagwood in the Sunday funnies has Dagwood making a very long list of things he'll do to improve himself in the coming year. Then he puts each one on a slip of paper and puts it into a hat and will draw out one piece of paper and that will be his resolution for 2004. Interesting.  Making New Year's Resolutions has a bad name.  Most people make hard resolutions and then can't do them and give up soon after they make the resolution.

I'm considering making a resolution to reread all 35 of my Harriet Journals this coming year.  I'm not sure that I'll resolve that, but it's tempting to me to do that.  I should be able to see ways that I've grown and hopefully developed character.  I should also see events that I could have handled better.  It should be interesting.

I need several more resolutions.  I'm thinking about it.
