To become the Queen of Rock in my household, which means I will have to outplay my kids on Guitar Hero. Star Power! and I finally bought a canvas and all the "beginner" supplies for painting, so I'm gonna give that a whirl. other than those things? "It's the same old story, same old Song and Dance, my friend." (Aerosmith) and I'm mighty fine with that. |

I'd like to quit smoking cigarettes. I have little to no faith that I will though. Hardly resolute. sigh |

Dear SB, are you truly a smoker? now, that is worse than the canned laughter. I have smoked 4 cigarettes in my life. Two for trying to see if I could get addicted to it and to feel the difficulty of quiting smoke. I did felt the craving of it. (how our own brain tricks us!!!!) The third one was when I was upset by my boss 14 years and a friendly colleague was a smoker. the fourth one was again when I was upset by my boss(different one) two years ago and a good friendly colleague was a smoker. All four were borrowed. smoke less and talk more, my dear lady. I want you to be healthy and happy esp in New Year.  |

Sometimes resolution comes only when you're really desperate. That's human nature.  Stephen |

Less Calories, More excercise More scales and arpeggios, less naps More of them and less of me ... therefore more of me. And prayer most of all. I could go into much more detail, but that's it in a nutshell. Stephen |

This year I've resolved to clean up my room. Let's see, I've still got 360 days to go, so I'm not feeling any pressure. Jim |

Why do people need to wait until New Years to decide to do something that they believe they should already be doing? |

Its probably natural to think of a New Year in terms of renewing commitments or goals, since it is a long enough interval to allow for notable progress, and short enough for the missed goals of last year not to be entirely disheartening. Stephen |

Stephanos, Then it is for the weak of mind or for those who really just need a reason to plan on accomplishing something that they know they never will. |

That may be true of most resolutions, Mike, but not necessarily all. Weakness of mind may be present with or without resolutions. You've got a point though, that we shouldn't wait until the New Year to resolve to make improvements. Stephen |
