Another Ditch the New Years Resolutions Day

Today is the day to ditch the New Year's resolutions which you made under duress, or from a sense of obligation to yourself or someone else.  Today is the official day to rid yourself of these unnecessary burdens.  Get rid of the resolutions you have already broken. (Yes, I know.  It has been  2-3/7 weeks since the year began.)  Too, you should dump the ones you will break later on.  Do it now and save the aggravation of carrying them any longer. 

If you are one of those righteous souls whose efforts toward your avowed goal are intact and you are feeling mighty good about yourself, good for you.  Soldier on.  You are under no obligation to observe this day in the practice, so observe it in the breach. 

No one seems to know the origin or the originator of this holiday, but trust me, it is real. 

Have you made any resolutions which you are still keeping, and intend to keep?

 Happy the-rest-of-2019!

I've never made a new years resolution. But then anyone who knows me would know that. No one day is any more significant than the next (except for arbitrary deadlines - April 15th - Gah!) You live your life one day at a time, putting one foot in front of the other, rolling with the punches, planning for the future, sure, but knowing that vision can blur and change. Do people really take this new years resolution thing seriously?

Gace, we are certainly in agreement on this topic. It is enough for me to resolve each day to make the best of that day, for I know not what may come.

I gave up the New Year's Resolution vice a few decades ago.

I try to approach the new year with good intent, but no resolutions. They only make you feel poorly when they aren't achieved...so why bother? Yeah...we don't do them here, either.

Chuck, I like that; NYR vice. Making them is a vice, isn't it?

Lin, life: one day at a time.
