As I was putting together this week's edition I read with interest Marie Almon's Worship column, which deals with New Years resolutions, their history and some resolutions from figures in Lansing's worship community. She mentioned a Web site with facts about New Year traditions, so I went to look. I haven't been able to work up the enthusiasm to make resolutions this New Year, so I really needed help. The web site lists the top 10 most common New Year resolutions, so I thought, "why not pick some of them?" So I pick 1, 4, 7 and 10. I would add 8, but I don't actually work with anybody. Well, I do, but our offices are on opposite ends of the house and we get along pretty well anyway.
1. Lose weight 2. Stop smoking 3. Stick to a budget 4. Save or earn more money 5. Find a better job 6. Become more organized 7. Exercise more 8. Be more patient at work/with others 9. Eat better 10. Become a better person I don't know how I'm going to achieve 1 without 9, but honestly I don't really want to eat better. And what does "eat better" mean anyway? Does it mean eat healthier, or eat a higher quality of food or eat gourmet meals... It's just too much to figure out! 10 is going to give me fits. It's the "better" problem again. I've always thought it would be great to be Andy Rooney when I grow up, a kind of lovable grouch. I suppose 10 might mean I should work on "lovable," since I think I'm pretty good at the other part! I'll tell you this much. I already know what my resolution should be for next year: I resolve to come up with my own New Year's resolutions. ----
