Resolutions

Read last year's diary
Ridiculous targets.
Regime for dieting
Recipes for weight loss
Resounding disaster 
Reach for more chocolate!
Rip up aims for next year
Realise they're futile!

Jan, you're making me laugh, which I find very pleasant. Resolutions are indeed hard for human animals. You do have a great sense of humor. I saw you commented on my poem about the inauguration....I hope you liked the last line...a way to say eat S-h-i-* that doesn't need camouflage! You are wonderful, but it's true that chocolate is very hard to resist!!

I also make stupid resolutions that I can't keep. This year I plan to sleep past the alarm clock. I know I can do it.

LOL! A daily goal is easier to keep, but even then unless you hide the sweets and salty treats, the temptation is hard to resist! Hilarious and fun, dear Jan! Congrats!

Amen, Jan! Well-said. For me, "resolution" was almost always a synonym for "lie"!

I agree. I resolve to be, and I'm resolute, in my rejection of making resolutions! Happy New Year Jan!
