Roland D. Halleeby 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;
  • Take a cat nap;
  • Solve arguments with a dance-off;
