Suggestions for New Year’s resolutions

by Roland D. Hallee

It’s the time of year when a majority of us struggle with New Year’s resolutions. What do you resolve to do, and will you be able to stick with it? Personally, I gave up on resolutions a long time ago. It was basically an exercise in futility.

Well, let me help you out. Here are a few that I have come across lately. Pick one, or more, if you can handle it. They shouldn’t be that difficult to implement.

• Build a bridge, with chocolate;
• Walk to the beat of your own tuba;
• Get messy;
• Improvise;
• Stay up until the sun rises;
• Be more loquacious; starting with learning what loquacious means;
• Introduce your chocolate noir to film noir;
• Give yourself the day off;
• Show up without a reservation;
• Actually go to a book store;
• Start a game of tag with your friends;
• Be proud of your age;
• Lend an ear;
