Don’t Make New Year Resolutions!

Published by

It’s a new year and like every year, people are out there making new resolutions in order to start the year off on a good foot.

Most of the time, I don’t remember what they were halfway through the year after life settles back in and the holiday glow (and all my good intentions) fade.
