New Year's Resolutions For 2017

(Subjective Poem) New Years comes around way to soon each year. There is so much to do and never enough time. I usually don’t make resolutions because – I NEVER have been able to keep them. I wish for many improvements in my life. For starters I want to start working in the yard again. But that is not all. The usual things come to mind like: Eat healthier; lose weight, which I have given up on, And get back to the basic things that I love doing, such as: writing poetry, painting pictures, playing with Photoshop, taking more photographs, and enjoying my senior life even with 4 children to raise. There are some resolutions that I really should work on, such as: Potty training the toddler and baby – Being consistent at following through with consequences , even when I am tired, when the teen and pre-teen skip tidying, say naughty words, pick on each other, or try to get out of chores. But I have decided, instead to make New Year’s Resolutions That I know I can keep. (Is that cheating?) I resolve to: 1. Never climb down in the huge sinkhole again. 2. Stay off of the children’s twisted slide. 3. I won’t speed down the hill on the John Deer mower. (I’m not sure I can keep that one. Lol) 4. I won’t climb trees without a ladder. 5. I won’t watch any X-rated movie except: The Passion of Christ, Shindler’s List, And the Pirate Movie with Gena Davis, 6. I will not eat hominy. That’s about it! Happy New Year!
