New Year's Resolutions

I do not make New Year Resolutions, at least not on a conscious level. My honey gave me a clipping from the local throw away newspaper and highlighted a few items I need to work on. I returned the list with some highlighted items for him. It’s a good list and the right things to do. So here is my highlighted list. In the New Year… Mend a quarrel • Write a love letter • Share some treasure • Give a soft answer • Encourage youth • Keep a promise • Find the time • Forgo a grudge • Forgive an enemy • Seek out a forgotten friend • Apologize if you were wrong • Try to understand • Welcome a stranger • Listen • Dismiss suspicion; replace with trust • Manifest your loyalty in word and deed • Examine your demands on others • Think first of some one else • Appreciate • Be kind; be gentle • Laugh a lot • Deserve confidence • Express your gratitude • Make a date to spend with someone special • Gladden the heart of a child • Take pleasure in the wonder of the earth • Climb, ski, or just visit a mountain top • Speak your love • Speak your love yet again…
