- New Years Resolutions -

                                           Hope to stay awake
                                 until midnight this New Years Eve
                                      Not to watch the fireworks
                                   but ignite a spark of inspiration
                                 The first blank chapter of the year
                                  with fresh New Year's resolutions
                                     for the future of tomorrow

                                       My list is not a long one:

                                  I'm not asking for an easier life
                                      but patience and strength

                                          Don't eat chocolate
                                     when I can't sleep at night
                                      - and ask who ate it up
                                            the following day

                                   I will close each day positively,
                                     before I kiss you goodnight

Why do we make resolutions? Why do I sit with a beer and resolutely say this is the last one?

Awe a great new year’s resolution my friend. It is no use in making one, I can never keep them. May you have a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year. Hugs my friend.

Sweet resolution. Hope chocolate lasts for few days.

Sweet. My hope is I will stay awake for similar reasons, but we will see. Oh, you must have missed the memo. Dark Chocolate can be eaten any time of the day :). Smiles for you, Ed

Very sweet. I don't know if you are affected by chocolate. It can keep us awake, and I eat much less of it than I used to. I like your resolutions since they are close to our existence and are actually not going to be easy. But you have expressed humanity in a way that is very helpful to me. It's kindness for sure.
