New Year's Resolutions for 2010 and beyond

It's always been fun making NYR's (not New York Rangers BTW), thinking and believing that somehow you will change a habit or become a better person by practicing mind control. The problem is New Year's resolutions are intended to last forever, when you commit yourself to making them. There's a lot of pressure when you commit to a promise that is supposed to last forever. Just look at the last time you got married. Scary huh?

Maybe we should only make New Year's resolutions for the first month of the new year, or maybe the first week, or even for one day. That way if you can keep your promise for a whole day, then you can build self esteem and possibly go for two days, or three, and maybe even a week before reverting back to your old ways.

What ever your 2010 resolutions are, I wish you good luck in keeping them. And if for some reason you aren't successful, don't worry, you only have to wait until next year to try again.
