New Years Resolutions Time
What will you do in 2018
to make the world a better place
Try and understand the struggles of others and love as Jesus would love
to make you a better person
may I have the serenity to accept the things i cannot change,the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference
to help someone else
Helping others should be a daily nature for all of us. I have been accused by some here at EvC as being a compromiser, but the truth is I feel led to question what I question and to let go of the rest. Rather than trying so hard to change others, I must focus on improving myself...for a better Phat can make an impact on many people.
Im starting over with my effort at a year of sobriety, and I am finally able to focus more on that. Soon I will be reporting about it in the Addiction By Definition thread. I have been diligent at taking care of myself as I approach the age of 60, for i know that this is a time in life where good health is necessary for survival more than ever.
As a nation, we are entering uncharted waters. I have never been active in politics yet I feel it is my duty as a citizen to attempt to understand the main issues and their wider sociological significance and to voice my concerns and opinions in a fair and balanced manner...hoping to persuade others rather than just spar and quibble with them.
Other than that, as far as EvC Forum is concerned at least...I will be similar to my 2017 version, though I hope to attempt to provide quality entertainment and feedback as I hone my craft at discussion and debates. *fixes coffee*
And on and on......

Resolved: Live or Diet Trying
So you plan on the ketone diet, eh? That seems like quite a challenging regimen.
I researched dieting and all as you know and I agree that those types of diets are healthiest for my body type at least.
I'm already starting to eat better again. I'm taking some probiotics, drinking more water, and taking papaya (a natural digestive enzyme) and find that as long as I stay away from bad carbs and sugars, I feel better.
Maybe I can work myself closer to the ketogenic diet gradually. I'm not ruling it out.

Never Say Never

I made a resolution during y2K never to make another new years resolution.
I am keeping that.
I remember Y2K! It was hard for me to believe that everything would actually go kerplunk, but I recall buying a stash of bottled water just in case!
But don't you think that the concept of resolutions is a daily exercise?(or should be)
Don't they now call it mindfulness?

Re: things I plan to do in 2018
One of my coworkers has had three of these as his past and current car:
He claims that in the first two, he could really feel the bumps, but they get like 40 mpg and his latest one has a more comfortable ride. Do those antique ones have a smooth ride?

I appreciate your honesty,frako. And your humor! As for me, I usually make and revise my resolutions several times a month. Currently, i am optimistic and yet honest enough to admit that this too shall pass. The cycle continues....
