New Year's Resolutions are generally difficult to continue. I suppose I manage to continue mine because of what I resolve to do. This year, as last, I resolved to read more books, and at this juncture, I am ahead of where I was last year at this time. Therefore, I am reading more books...

It's that time of year again. Fall is about to be upon us. Many people associate the beginning of fall and the Labor Day weekend with the start of the school year. Blank notebooks, pristine binders, new teachers, new learning. Beginnings.
Most adults don't have annual opportunities to begin again...

The waning days of summer....
The kids were up and moving early this morning. Both of them headed to school to get their class schedules, their locker assignments and new ID's. We are all getting closer to the beginning of another school year.

Blogging New Year Resolutions might mean I'd have to have some. I do not. They are, for me, a waste of time. Either I'm getting my act together from week to week, or I'm not. There is also little that can be added to the thoughts already posted on here anyway. Except, my point of view is probably...

2006: Resolved-I will no longer make New Year's Resolutions.
2011: Still keeping that 5 years old resolution.
Like many people, I used to make resolutions every January 1. Lose weight, read more, plant a garden...all my resolutions mimicked everyone else's. Generally, by mid-February, the...

I had given up on making New Year Resolutions years ago because I could never keep them going long enough. So instead, I began making goals. And this year is no exception. I made personal goals (which are personal) and others relating to my work. I came across a name for these and liked it....
