New Year's resolutions

I never was much for New Year’s resolutions — not that there’s anything wrong with them.

I always figured that you shouldn’t wait for a special time of the year to do something you wanted to do. You should just basically — I wish Nike hadn’t taken over this saying — do it.

But I know that the New Year’s thing works for some people, so I guess they can be helpful.

If I was the New Year’s resolution type, here would be my Top Ten:

1) Never watch TV during the day. (Unless you work nights, and for you, day is night.) (Or a really good game is on.)

2) Pray more, cuss less.

3) Be especially nice to kids. Childhood should be as fun as possible.

4) Don’t expect a hurricane to hit in ’07 just because we got spared in ’06 … after getting hit in ’05. It doesn’t work like that.

5) Have more patience with morons who almost cut you off when you are driving. Let’s face it; sometimes we almost plow into some other driver.

6) Have less patience with people who waste your time. They will bother you as much as you let them.

7) Try not to complain that it’s too hot in the summer or too cold in the winter. That’s what summer and winter are all about.

8) Eat less, work out more.

9) Vote in those “minor” elections, which for some people is any election that doesn’t include a candidate running for president.

10) Roll with the punches. Some days will be good, some not so good. Adjust accordingly.

Those are mine; what are yours?

P.S. I’m taking a week’s vacation; will blog again in the second week of January. Be good.
