Resolutions for 2012

The tradition of New Year's Resolutions goes back to 153 B.C. The Romans named the first month of the year after the mythical king Janus (January), the god of beginnings and the guardian of doors and entrances. He was always depicted with two faces, one on the front of his head and one on the back, allowing him to peer backward and forward at the same time. Hence, Janus became the ancient symbol for resolutions.

Though I have never put stock in proclaiming what too often are merely temporary personal improvements, I relent now and begin 2012 with these lofty (if inane) aspirations:


=======================================

Master the subject of algebra:

======================================


Buy a belt because...

======================================

Get up-to-date with the latest music trends and groups...

======================================

Bike instead of driving...

=======================================

Pray that more days start out this way...

...and NOT this way...

=====================================

Work out, get into shape, and develop a "six pack:"

=======================================

Learn more about that new-fangled invention called the computer...

=====================================

Solve that troublesome snoring problem...

=====================================

Study up on punctuation rules...

 

======================================

Don't act my age, act my feelings...

======================================

Analyze all those household mechanical problems and SOLVE them using the proper tool...

=======================================

Make those plumbing repairs I've been postponing...

======================================

Re-read this psychology study...

 

=====================================

My advice to everyone for 2012 and beyond: Figure out where you fall on this life timeline, and enjoy the rest of your journey on earth...

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!
