Resolutions Never Fulfilled

I made them freely in the past-- then broke them one by one. The hardest often didn't last till setting of the sun: I'll exercise an hour or more each day and lose some weight. I'll leave the junk food at the store and fix a veggie plate. I'll watch TV five hours per week instead of five per day. I'll find new challenges and seek a better, brighter way. ************************** This New Year's promise--What a gem!-- I pray won't be too trying. This time I just resolved, to HIM, that I would stop my lying.

I used to make them with the best of intentions but I'd be lucky to last a day. So now my resolutions are not to make any and I'm doing really well lol. Happy New year Janice.. Tom

Thanks, Andrea! Yes, baby steps! Resolutions fail because people make a looong list of promises, some unreasonable. Happy New year. Janice
