01/02/25 Grif.Net - Keeping My Resolutions
b...@grif.net
What is a New Year’s resolution? Something that goes in one year and out the other. But here is a partial list of my personal resolutions for 2026:
Resolution #1 = I will start jogging.
Result? Terrible. Every time I started to run the ice fell out of my Big Gulp.
Resolution #2 = I will burn 2,000 calories before supper.
Result? Did it!! I forgot the cookies in the oven.
Resolution #3 = I will take up a sport that requires no cardio whatsoever.
Result? The dart league contests in town are at bars, and as a Christian I can’t attend.
Resolution #4 = I will save up enough money to buy Velcro to cover a basement wall.
Result? I’ve made this resolution before, but this year I plan on sticking to it.
Resolution #5 = I will learn sign language.
Result? I haven’t started yet but think it will be very handy. Signed up for a class at the University in town, offered in the fall semester. 2029.
Resolution #6 = I will join a gym and faithfully go to it.
Result? I didn’t specify how often, so I think every July 10th 2026, 2027, 2028.
Resolution #7 = I will eat more so I can stay out of shape.
Result? So far, so good.
