First, I want everyone to click on this link!
Next, tell us any New Years Resolutions or resolutions in general that you may have!
Here Are Mine:
  • I resolve to take better care of myself, realizing that I have but one life to live.
  • I resolve to spend no more than $20.00 a week on gambling. (I know I should quit entirely, but I am being realistic!
  • I resolve to pray more and squawk less!

    The old switcheroo
    Jon writes:
    Can we change them?
    Of course. Keep in mind, though, that changing them on January 2 does not do New Years any justice. Seeing as how many of us are inebriated on January 1st, however, I suppose that the first week in January can be considered a window of opportunity!
    By the second week we should all be getting serious!
    I stopped by the health club and noticed that the place is incredibly packed for the first few weeks of the New Year. I will report back and tell everyone how many resolves continued jogging on the stair master come February 1st!

    Incremental changes work wonders
    Larni writes:
    Most of these life changes can be best achieved incrementally.
    In other words, keep trying and don't give up or feel like crap if you blow it, right?

    several years ago, i found that new years resolutions were nothing but a source of trouble for me. i'd never keep to them, and it'd just make me feel like crap. like there was something about me that i needed to change.
    so one year, i resolved to never again make a new years resolution.
    so far, i've kept that one. and it's done wonders.
    Well...here it now is 2011. A full four years later! We all are still here on Percys Forum...for better or worse, in sickness and in health!
    Unlike you, I feel a need to make a list for resolution, even though Jon insists that making a list is a recipe for failure.
    My 2011 List:

    1) Get back on my healthy diet that I know and like so well. When I feel better, I am encouraged to stay on a healthy eating plan, but the catch 22 is that in order to feel better I need to eat better for at least two weeks to a month beforehand. Stationary Bike
    2) Stop Gambling!! 4 years ago, I hedged and said that I would allow myself to gamble "a little". It was a mistake, and I now realize that my gambling is the root of many problems in my life which have a common theme. Which brings me to my next resolution......
    3) Recognize the difference between fantasy and reality in everyday thinking. Take responsibility for what I do and say. Dont fall back on ideologies and dogma. Learn to face each day cheerfully and dutifully. I think 3 is enough for now.....

    2012 Resolutions
    #1: Health Club! Stationary Bike
    Im not getting any younger, and health prevention costs a lot less than health treatment.

    Resolutions 2012
    And I resolve to continue my irrational and often selfish arguments knowing full well that Jar and Ringo will respond sanely sagely and wisely and will attempt to shrink the American Ego that was my birthright. (Welcome back, Ringo)

    2014

    I undertake to make about 10 incremental changes in my life over the next 10 months; starting with having a smaller lunch (it's normally a fat mans feast!).
    Hows everyone doing for 2014?
    Im not sure what promises to make to myself, though I have heard that promises never work.
    So perhaps I resolve to be honest. Its never easy, self delusion is all too common.
