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"!

Such a realist Poem Jan. Love your thoughts and truth on resolutions. For me just waking up to another day is all I need lol besides making resolutions... Hugs wishing you a healthy and safe New Year and many book sales. God bless you and your Husband, hope he is doing well...
