What an odd word. We use it at the beginning of a new year to indicate a promise to ourselves or those around us to make a change or to do something new or different. It’s a word, in its verb form–resolve–that also means to focus or clarify. Or to see more clearly…perhaps to see what’s important.<\/p>\n
What is important? I resolve to:<\/p>\n
1. Laugh as much as possible–particularly at my own absurdity.<\/p>\n
2. Do at least one thing on a daily basis that I know I should<\/em> be doing and don’t. Doesn’t have to be a big thing…but it could be.<\/p>\n 3. Improve my own commitment to that old favorite, the one that comes back year after year, the one that’s as old as recorded human history, the golden one…do unto others…<\/p>\n I’ll probably break all three on a regular basis, so my last resolution is to just keep plugging away at it.<\/p>\n Happy new year. If you want to share a resolution of your own, step right up with a comment. Go public. On the other hand, you’re welcome to be the first one to poke fun at my somewhat, yeah, absurd resolve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What an odd word.
