I love New Years. I go to bed early, so it isn't about the fireworks, but it's the week I clean out the old (I am running out of things to put on the curb now I have so drastically downsized). It's a fun week for me. As to resolutions: I do them half-heartedly and usually fail. Here are mine.1. Be more kind to N. My partner's a political junkie, and comes to me with story after story. I HATE politics and avoid them like a plague, so I stop him short almost every time; I beg, I plead. And still I cannot stop him. Instead I will endeavor to just listen more this year. He pleads "I have no one ELSE to TELL" (which is untrue: He tells his oldest daughter, then his youngest, then his grandson and then his best friends at a weekly lunch. Still. I must be more kind.)2. Be more kind in general. I am abrupt. I call it honest. But one member here suggested that I am like the abusing husband who claims "I did it for her own good"; and she had a REAL POINT there.3. Proofread my posts. I won't. And whether it's age or inability, re-reading posts has proven an embarrassment. This is the single resolution I am CERTAIN to fail.4. Try to let go of worry. Ha. Yeah. THAT'S likely to happen.

My biggest resolution which I intend to keep is to live in the moment. Less of past and regrets and not worry too much about future.

Alvadeer, I just want to say I have great respect for you and all the knowledge you bring here. 🥰

With that being said, my first resolution is less drama, and to stay away from other people drama as best I can, including social media drama. I want as much peace in my life as possible.

I'm going to get back to more dutifully doing my Silver Sneakers online Zoom exercise classes. It's good for weight control, balance, flexibility, cardio, and is pretty rewarding overall. I'm going to try to keep up contact with friends better. Try to get outdoors to walk in the sunshine even though it's cold. Get a huge box of photos scanned so my kids won't have to do it after I'm gone.

I'm either going to try to cut back on junk food carbs and sugar or I'm going to say screw it and go all in.
