Default What is your New Year's Resolution?

It's that time again. You are opening a new book with 365 blank pages...what will your story be? The tradition of making a New Year's resolution began with the Babylonians who made promises, to earn favor of the gods, that they would pay off debts and returned borrowed items (mostly farm equipment at the time). The Romans followed this tradition by making promises to the god Janus (for whom January is named). A recent study found out that only 8% of people will keep their resolution but 45% of Americans still make them. What is your resolution for 2018?

My resolution is to never make resolutions because I never keep them anyway.

I do no think I have ever kept one of these. Because I grasp at too much.

It's getting easier every year to do that.

I do that every time I go out but then I am 103

And my annual New Year's resolution is to suffer in silence

I haven’t broken a resolution in twenty years and I guaranty I won’t break this year’s either ... I resolve to make only one resolution this year and this is it.
