People promise to be more generous, kinder, healthier, etc., then seem to promptly forget a few weeks into the year. <br />I think periodically throughout the year we need to ask ourselves if we're being the person we want to be and if not, make changes then, not wait until the new year.<br />I have to say, I'm a long way from mastering this myself, but I'm happier than when I used to make a list of 50+ unreachable goals and then check on December 30th to see if achieved them.Julia Amantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17214739777177649918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-419590491994471555.post-35713768057880813142010-01-08T18:02:30.030-08:002010-01-08T18:02:30.030-08:00Happy New Year, Julia!
Bravo on the post! I found ...Happy New Year, Julia!<br />Bravo on the post! I found your advice to be wonderful and timely. I am not a big fan of the "new year". It is somewhat of a downer after a season full of family and friends...and delicious treats! Now, this "new year" season brings up the notions of how out of shape one is, how off-track one's life is, blah, blah, blah! Where's all the happy talk that was everywhere just a few weeks ago?! The talk shows and radio and t.v. commercials, even magazines, are all boasting their ideas for the perfect way to keep a resolution. But, I must say, your ideas for year-long work is the best and only way for one to really strive to be a better person and live a better life. After all, isn't that the whole point?! Great advice!<br /><br />By the way, I am reading your book, Evenings at the Argentine Club, and am loving it...and I still have a bit to go. <br />I look forward to your interview with Caridad.<br /><br />All the best,<br />~AnnaAnna Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07969182375825357715noreply@blogger.com
