This is the beginning of a New Year, which brings to mind "New Year's Resolutions". Nearly 40% of the people make New Year's resolutions, but less than 10% of them follow then through. Most resolutions fail within 2-3 months.
So, what are five most popular resolutions for 2024: Improve fitness, improve finances, improve mental health, lose weight, and improve diet.
Yes, I could work on some of them, but then I also know from experience that I would fall into the 90% category who fails to keep them.
Instead I count my blessings. A loving husband, wonderful children & grandchildren, a new little one due in 2024, relatively good health, and a body which most days can still keep up with oldest granddaughter (though not as gracefully as it once could).
Resolutions would make good premises for a story. While I was browsing for ideas, I stumbled onto some unusual, fun, and even bizarre ones. Here are a few:
- Order every drink on the Starbuck menu
- Wash bra more often
- Always leave 1 potato chip in bag
- Make a new friend a month
- Try a new food every week
- Work "Time will tell" into conversation at least once a week
- Stay in the bathroom while brushing teeth...
I could probably work on some of them too LOL
Enjoy winter! Hugs,
