New Year’s Resolutions

Welcome to the 2017!  This year, like a lot of other people, I have decided to adopt a few New Year’s resolutions as a way to make myself a better person.  The key to successful resolutions is not making them too ambitious.  With that in mind, here are my five resolutions for 2017.

1.  I intend to be nicer to ducks.  I am not sure what that looks like, exactly, but I am going to do it.

2.  I am going to buy some fireworks for the turn of next year because the fireworks we touched-off at midnight last night were spectacular!

3.  I am going to eat one less potato chip in 2017 than I ate in 2016.  Okay.  You got me here.  I did not actually count how many chips I ate last year.  I intend to achieve this intuitively.

4.  This year, I am going to learn the name of the weedy creeper thing with tiny purple flowers that grows in places where the earth has been disturbed.

5.  I am going to be more adult in the way I eat spaghetti this year.
