New Year's Resolutions

It is that time of year, once again, where one is compelled to look their past years personal performance and vow to make certain changes. The coming of the New Year does, afterall, offer one a fresh start, so to speak.

Resolutions: Stop spending and start saving, stop smoking, stop drinking, spend more time with the family, become more involved with the community and volunteer, lose weight, join a health club, etc.

All very noble.

I am picking two, and hoping to actually accomplish one of them. Understanding that spending is out-of-control under the best of circumstances, weighing the necessity of each purchase may bring this under control. (I'm going into this one with a grain of salt).

Spending time with my family. This is a must. Dinner together is fine, but it also accounts for merely an hour of the entire day. Play more, talk more, and show the love more.

Now if I can only tear myself away from the news for an hour or two more per day, (and realize that eBay is not news!), I should manage to accomplish this goal.

Wishing all a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.
