It is hereby resolved...

We're almost at another new year. The start of a new decade, in fact. It's resolution time. Here are mine:

• Exercise/walk more.
• (Which may lead to): Eat more healthy foods.
• Keep in mind that if Anna Wintour of Vogue thinks size 4 is the new zaftig, it's a losing battle anyway.
• Donate more generously.
  
• Write (more) every day.
• Remember the only resolution that matters: "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." That was Plato. Wise man.
  

Does anyone else even bother with resolutions? I always have. Some years I've made progress. Other years, not so much. The trick, I think, is to keep it vague. That way you do make progress, regardless. (If I said, "Write ten pages every day," I already know it's a recipe for failure. "Write more," though - that I can do.)
