Happy New Year’s!

When my children were young, on New Year’s Eve we would each make a resolution, and a prediction about what would happen in the New Year and place those in a sealed envelope.  At the end of the year, we would open the envelope and see whose prediction came true and who kept up their resolution the longest.  The older the kids got, the more savvy they got with their predictions (as in “I will break my resolution first” type of thing…lol) Oh, did I mention the $20 prize for the closest prediction? 

May all your troubles last as long as your New Year’s resolutions.

New Year, same me—because I’m already fabulous.

I will try to remember where I left my keys at least once a week.

Master the art of parallel parking (or continue to avoid it).

Develop the ability to remember names, even if it’s just my own.

I will strive to say ‘no’ more often… unless it involves dessert.

I promise to keep up with the latest technology, even if I have to ask my granddaughter for help.

I will strive to eat more greens, even if they’re just the M&M kind.

I promise to stretch regularly, reaching for the snacks on the top shelf counts, right?

I’ll try to remember to take my vitamins, or at least convince myself that gummy bears are a suitable substitute.

I vow to embrace my inner child and jump in puddles whenever it rains – because adulting can be overrated.

Cheers to the new year!
