We all make them and very few of us actually hold to them. I dare say that 90% of New Years resolutions have to do with our weight. Every January I get very frustrated at my gym because of the influx of new people who seem to be sent there just to aggravate me. The smoothie bar at the gym does very well. All of the new chubbies seem to really like the smoothie bar instead of the machines.
Recent events in my personal life over the last 3 weeks have served to remind me of just what is actually important in our lives. It’s also been a reminder of just how bad I sometimes fail in my own efforts.
A Simple Resolution
I’m going to do a better job reaching out to family and friends during their time of need. My eyes have been opened to what simple small gestures can mean to people. It’s really almost an effortless gesture on my part and can mean so much to others. I’m guilty of not taking the time out of my life that can be so meaningful to others. Sometimes a visit or a telephone call will do. Maybe dropping off some food or even stopping by to cut grass when they need it most.
It all boils down to family and friends.
