Year
Over
Start again
This time better
Resolutions are not kept through the year
Either you will or you won't; don't promise
Resolve has faded
No commitment
I'll do it
Better
Now

  7. I think it is right for you to say to make the year better than it was the previous year. Often we make resolutions and don’t keep them or are too far-fetched. Have a great, great New Year, Brandon. Wishing you much success and happiness in all you do.

  8. It’s so hard to not make these empty promises to ourselves. I’ve found, for me, it’s far better to make a plan and have a general word as an intention for the year. This year it’s going to be balance. Balance in all things. It will be my mantra to strive for.

      1. I’ve gotten very off balance this year-allowing my body to suffer from too much time sitting and too many smacks. I need to find a way to be creative, care for my family and myself.
