Resolve This!

So as I’m writing it looks like 2016 has arrived in what seems like record time.

And I suppose some of us who’ve attended many past rodeos might be a little cynical or resigned…as in…here we go again. But not me; in fact, as we open up a new calendar, I can’t wait to get my hands on that beautiful blank page that shows up every January 1.

I see the pristine sheet as a reminder that I can be the author of my own life story. And what’s really cool is the chance we all have to share the experience.

I love New Year resolutions; I write ‘em down. I even go public with ‘em.

So here they are; my Top Ten New Year resolutions for 2016:

10. You’re in my dental chair. I say, “Almost done.” 3 minutes later I’m still working. You get 10-bucks!

9. I will write at least one personal note per day…legibly.

8. I will NOT verbally abuse my computer, Hal…whenever possible.

7. I’ll forgive the Lakers…because…they know not what they do.

6. I’ll remember Dental Assistant Appreciation Day is every day.

5. I will NOT run down Las Tunas wearing only a hula skirt and a bruin baseball cap because after ten years, Camellia Square (or whatever) is about as developed as the Republic of Burundi.

4. I will prove even though Will Rogers never met a man he didn’t like…he never met Donald Trump!

3. I’ll say, “I love you” at least once a day. And yeah, Team Leader Dani, no mirrors allowed.

2. I will NOT mix plaid, stripes, and paisley attire…thus ignoring all fashion tips from my co-workers.

1. I’ll be looking and listening for greatness, humor, and compassion…unless I’m in front of a banker.

Happy New Year!
