Twilight Thursday

No matter where you are or how you celebrate it,

have fun ringing in the new year!

While many of you will be
cracking open champagne,

sparkling cider, or sparkling grape juice,

I will be sharing some tasty Unibroue Quelque Chose

and some other tasty craft beer at home with my husband. 

Now matter who you're with, where you are or what you drink tonight,

Please be safe and think before you leave - Take a bus, a cab or have a
designated driver who stays sober.

Remember, it's not just you on the road,
but someone else's parent, child or sibling too.

Thank you, have fun and be safe!!!

I've told you my plans, so what are yours???

Resolutions

It's that time of year again! The time of year when we make impossible to keep promises to ourselves with the happily optimistic belief that we are actually going to follow through with them. You guessed it. New Year's Resolutions!

Why do we do this to ourselves? Why do we reach for the impossible when the possible is just around the corner? Why do we make it so hard for ourselves and then rail at ourselves when we can't keep the promises made?

These are but some of the questions I have contemplated over the years in regards to resolutions and I have never found satisfactory answers. So I came up with a solution instead. I stopped making resolutions. Or you could say that my New Year's resolution is not to make a resolution. And let me tell you, it is the best one I have ever made. Why? Because it is the easiest one to keep. When you set out not to make an impossible promise to yourself, it takes no effort to complete. Each year is a success. What better way to start a new year than with something that is so easily achieved?

What about you? How do you feel about New Year's resolutions? And what promises will you make to yourself this year?

Go easy on yourselves this year. Let's start out the new decade on a positive, easy note!

Happy New Year!!
