New Year's Resolutions 2017
by Gail Balentine
It’s January and time to make some New Year’s Resolutions. Perennial favorites are promises to: lose weight, exercise more, travel more and finally get organized. But this year feels different.
This country has been involved in a contentious political battle
and, no matter which side you favor, the process has had an effect. This, in
addition to the personal problems each of us contends with, has made 2016 a particularly
stressful year for me and many people I know.
That’s why I feel it is even more important than other years
to get back in touch with myself and those I care about. With such thoughts in
mind, here are my 2017 New Year’s Resolutions:
1 1. I
plan to live more in the moment, instead of in the past or future.
2. I
plan to appreciate and enjoy more the time I share with my family and friends.
3. I
plan to strive to value myself as much as I value others.
4. I
plan to find more ways to help people less fortunate than I am.
5. I
plan to spend more time reading and writing.
6. I
plan to remember that America is a wonderful country, filled with many, many
good people who may or may not agree with me politically.
Happy New Year.
