~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have no resolution; I stopped that long time ago. You see, resolution is a firm decision to do or not to do something, so you could start it and decide not to do it anymore and most of the time that tends to or happens to New Year’s resolution. I have no goal because it is defined as goal, objective, aim or plan to achieve in the future, how long would it take, depends for you can hit or miss it, just like basketball, hockey. Life is too short to wait and see. I’m just being obnoxious or I’m being direct, honest. I have an intention, aim or objective and focuses on how to achieve it, not in the future, but now, now. Intention is a mental state of mind, where you are committed to a course of action, say your attitude that would provide your purpose for your action. Ringing in the New Year at our traditional New Year’s Eve Party, I was thankful for another year and getting home, after a twenty one mile drive at one in the morning, another praise of thanks that I was safe. Reading in the stillness of the wee hours, I came across of learning a new habit by having a teachable spirit or eagerness to be changed, having a life of continual newness, be transformed by renewing of the mind, like opening your mind to a trusting attitude by trying to take each day as an adventure.
