I am a little late addressing the New Year's resolution thing due to a hectic schedule, but I couldn't let it just pass by without acknowledging the idea of upcoming goals and changes we each promise to strive for.  I  found a great, short series of statements that are somewhat different from the same 'ole "..gonna loose weight, gonna exercise more, gonna go see parents more...." declarations. These are promises to yourself. I truly believe  if we can strive to do these, this year will be an awesomely rewarding one. Hope you enjoy, and have a great day!

                                                         PROMISE YOURSELF

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your the best , to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words but great deeds.

To live in faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are Christian D. Larson - The Optimist Creed
