RESOLUTIONS? SHMESOLUTIONS?

I wonder if you made or are planning to make New Year resolutions. Why?
I wonder where the custom came from. I don’t remember ever making New Year’s resolutions. I sure am not making any now. I do have some plans,  dreams and hopes for the New Year.

I hope hubby and I can stay healthy in the New Year.
I hope and pray that I can RELAX and not worry about stuff in the New Year.
I would love to find a NEW FRIEND. I know how difficult this is.
I hope to get a brand new computer. I told hubby I would like a new laptop instead of going on a trip in the Spring. I just want to stay put!
I plan to continue exercising in the pool while in Florida and with the WII back home.
I plan to do my best to stay connected with my children and grandchildren.
I will try to complain less.
I will try to WORRY less. This is a tall order!!!!!!

I hope you are not stressing over your New Year’s resolutions. Will you feel like a failure if you break your resolution after a few days???????? Why not be good to yourself and just promise to eat well and exercise more? Better than that why not just forget about your weight. I promise if you do you will lose weight. When you dwell on the food you can’t eat you want them all the more. Over the past few months, years I lost about 25 pounds without doing anything. I was surprised myself. Of course I do exercise and don’t eat after supper. Otherwise I eat anything and everything.
So I’m off to sit on the lazy boy and maybe just maybe have a nap. Hubby is taking a shower and then we’re going to call our children together. I can’t believe how close we are after 48 years together.
