2013 — Happy New Year.

Posted on January 1, 2013 by backonmyown

The beginning of a new year is a time for reflection for many. Here’s the deal, though, for me. Now that I live alone I have way too much time for thinking and self-examination. It never ceases to get me into hot water. I always fall short of my own expectations. This year I am simply going to reflect less and laugh more.

And that’s as close as I’ve ever come to making a New Year’s resolution.

Happy New Year, dear reader, wherever you are!

Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties. ~ Helen Keller

Luckily, as I get older, I have some trouble remembering what my resolutions are
