No More Resolutions

Well, it is the beginning of another year. I have always found that New Years resolutions are easy to make and hard to keep. I wonder why we feel compelled on the first of every year to make promises about our activities in the coming years. The future has not yet come to be. Therefore, how can I with clear conscience promise something that I may or may not do?


Poem Artwork



Every year it is a tradition, one that I believe is made in dilution.
We make a promise to one in all. It is called a New Years Resolution.

This seems to be a waste of time indeed.
For as the new years days ahead proceed

We almost always find ourselves breaking
The New Year’s resolution we are undertaking.

So my New Years resolution this year will be
That there are no more resolutions made by me.

Why promise myself I will cut down on eats
Or possibly I will eat much less meats.

These promises are made once a year on this day
And followed by days where our passions sway.

The only problem with this resolution I have made
Is the fact that the resolution has already been disobeyed.

If indeed I promised myself by resolution
I have already failed to find the solution.

I said no more resolutions but in fact I have already made one.
So I will postpone my resolution until another year has begun.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I agree... no more resolutions unless it is to our resolve
that we strive more to be like Him...Happy New Year Lew and God Bless.

Hold on...I am making mine, keeping mine and no one's going to tempt me not to...Smiles! I will succeed!

Loved this regardless...
We have a fresh slate, so to speak, take in a deep breath and try to overcome anything and everything that we know is wrong or hurts us, physically, emotionally, or just plain hurts! What better time than now?
Pray I quit these damn cigarettes, they're killing me...
Love and Peace~

He happy, keep smiling, keep writing...that's a lot to keep on doing, my friend. Add to that your continued love for Christ and a willingness to be his extended hands, ears, and voice. So, here's wishing you a safe and blessed New Year.

LOL
