The year 2016, just like the sidewalk ... slip-slidin’ away.

Tick tock, tick tock – just a pair of days to make your New Year's resolutions ...

Mercifully, the year 2016 is sliding into oblivion, just like I would have done some slip-slidin’ of my own, had I headed out on a walk this morning.

I have been running errands over the past two days, and missed some mighty fine walking weather, so I was happy to look outside and see no snow had fallen and I could walk.

But, once I headed outside, lo and behold, there was a thin glaze of ice on the driveway and sidewalk. So much for the walk and wiping out, thus I ran the car in the garage, then took my bundled-up self right back into the house.

With a mere two days left to make resolutions before 2017 arrives, have you decided on how you will right your ship, or keep yourself on track next year?

As to me, I know I can't eat any healthier ... I've given up fast food, fried food, sweets and treats, salty snacks and red meat over the course of the last five years. I study labels for sodium and sugar content – so, yeah me. But, on the other hand, oh how boring my meals have become!

Once again, I’ve embarked on the exercise bike regimen for the Winter months, since walking is kind of iffy due to ice and sometimes snow-slickened sidewalks, but, I do vow to walk if it is clear and cold, having yet to christen those hiking boots I bought in the Fall of 2015. They still are in the original box in the bottom of the closet.

Well, my 2017 resolution is pretty simple ... I will be more organized! I want to know where everything in the house is located without scratching my head and giving up where to look. I was organized at one point in my life, so, why orderliness has moved out and disorganization has moved in its place, I have no clue ... but that is my resolution for 2017.

Otherwise, I am perfect ... (just kidding!)
