With, ANOTHER, New Year looming ahead...Visions of RESOLUTIONS, dance in some heads...With bad-habits, all, wishing, FINALLY, to 'Put to Bed!' With 'ghosts' of New Years past, haunting reminders are they...'This year I'll quit smoking, once AGAIN, I say! or...'This is the year that I DIET, for sure!' 'Only, with this commitment, I must lose TEN POUNDS, more!' To resolve to be better is great-news, for sure; And, this year, I'm going to be sure to endure. To make vows, not empty, but, those that are pure. 'THIS year, I PROMISE, to ALL, I'll be GOOD, to folks EVERYWHERE, NOT just those in my 'HOOD'. 'I'll be kind to strangers, and, those whom I LOVE; I'll fit well with the Universe, like 'hand in a glove'!' Each, New Year's arrival gives great, hope, for change; Yet, each and every day, offers us the same. Whether, simply, another 'day in a week', We always have opportunity to give our lives a 'tweak'. We, needn't, wait for another, New Year, To become the person we're meant to be, here. But, however, it's done...trading bad habits for good, There is no 'set-way', there is no 'should'. Change must come from the depth of one's heart, and, I guess, New Year's Day, is a great, place to start. So, as we say 'so-long', to 2013, keep in mind the things, from it, you might glean. Then take those lessons, put them to heart, and, let 2014 be the place that you start, To be even better, than you were, 'last year', and, set, some standards to which you'll, TRY to adhere. Just Sayin'...
