NO NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS FOR ME


I am not a New Year's Resolution kinda gal. I just don't get it, I mean why would you set your self up for failure? Ok, ok I am sure there are some people out there that actually keep theirs and that's all fine and dandy but the other 1,001 of us will not even keep it past the first month. Just yesterday I heard my boss say "well there goes my New Years Resolution" and it was only 3 days into the New Year.

So, while I don't make any standing New Year's Resolutions, I do however think about things that I would like change or try to improve on this next year. Things that I don't need to go around telling others about, like hey I am going to lose 20 lbs by summer, or hey I'm going to do what ever it may be, only to let myself down and look like an ass to others, and seriously when some one tells me of their New Year's Resolution I just think yeah that will last about a week. Maybe I am a hard ass but in my 40 years I have never know anyone to have kept their New Year's Resolution...have you?

Here are a couple fun facts I came across about New Year's Resolutions:

63% of people say they are keeping their resolutions after two weeks (ok I can kinda see this)
67% of people say they are keeping their resolutions after two months (I totally don't think so, but that's just me)

The top four New Year's Resolutions that are made are:

1) Increase exercise (I have said this one 1,001 times in my life)
2) Be more conscientious about work or school
3) Develop better eating habits (yep I have tried this one too)
4) Stop smoking, drinking, or using drugs (including caffeine)

So tell me do you make a New Year's Resolution or are you like me and feel that it just sets you up for failure.

I did make two.....One to read my Bible everyday. I dropped out of my Bible Study class...it was just too much for me.

Second resolution - to get organized and stay that way. I plan on keeping both of those resolutions!
