RESOLUTIONS 2025

Before revealing my 2025 resolutions, which I'm confident you've been eager to discover, here's my disclaimer. According to Fox News Online, only 9% of people manage to keep their New Year's resolutions. My resolutions may seem overly ambitious, considering it's me, but I decided to up the ante, so here goes.

* Publish my latest devotion book. This seems eminently reasonable, since Lighthouse Publishing accepted my proposal, & we're working on the next steps.

* Send out Christmas cards & letters before Christmas. I consider this one moderately difficult but worthy.

* Cross 2 things off our bucket list. Considering plans for our Alaskan cruise this summer, I think this is doable.

* No falls or surgeries. One can only hope.

* Do PT exercises and/or walk at least 4X per week. Definitely needful.

* Visit at least 1 Nebraska SP. Should be doable. I have my sights set on Chadron & Ft. Robinson SPs this fall.

* Practice more patience. Definitely needful.

* Help out around the house more. I think I'm off to a good start, helping with laundry, meals, dishwashing.

* No McDonald's. Could be the most difficult, since McRibs are still on the menu.
