New year, new resolutions
By Casey Cavalier

New Year’s Day in America has its traditions.
Most include watching football and eating. For
an unlucky few, hangovers are involved. It’s
also a day when people make New Year resolutions.
(Particularly the folks with the hangovers.)
You have to love the idea of a fresh start. Our
country was founded on such an idea.
We love a comeback kid. Good thing, too! When
it’s time to draft some resolutions many
of us can simply whip out last year’s list
and rewrite the date.
It should be said that a wish list and a list
of resolutions are two entirely different things.
A little reality can go a long way when setting
new goals. It’s unlikely that you will be
able to coach a kids’ soccer team, travel
to all continents and lose 40 pounds.
Some people choose only one resolution. Making
more than five resolutions is begging for trouble.
Listed here are some common categories used in
goal-setting. Writing on an index card can prevent
you from getting carried away. Keep it simple.
