Resolute


Don't give a hoot, just resolute.

Don't want to toot a horn, for scorn.

Resolving is just like revolving,

going in, coming out, lukewarm.


Promises are easy to break,

when everyday stresses give-and-take.

So, why would one resolve to do,

they later regret or have to fake?


To stay the course may not be wise,

but doing something different just lies.

We are all in the same moving boat,

takes gumption, just keeping it afloat.


Let's all take in a brand-new year,

tackle our problems with verve, not fear.

Our mugs may be only half full,

but it's better than half empty by any rule.


Be resolute, don't give a hoot,

to what others say or do.

You know what you have ahead,

take care of the real, you.


One thing is for certain. Everything will be 

higher resolution in the future--RWH

Very nice Ron the only way to be is a free thinker. Listen but don't fall for every thing people say.

Certainly an interesting and well-stated take on the vagaries of making resolutions, such an important part of the year-end ritual. High resolution indeed !

Sometimes it seems that,in this world of spin doctors and media blitzes, holding on to ones resolve is among the toughest of things to do. Case in point, how can someone be denied a job more than a dozen times then somehow convince some of those who'd originally.rejected him all those previous times to suddenly change their minds? Perhaps it's because being resolved to something requires a spine and integrity.

Yes, you've got that right. When so much of the global life is at the bottom, there's only one way to go. Thanks for your honest and sincere wish for us all.
