As the years go by, our resolutions seem to lose some .In spite of the fact that my own eagerness seems to , I still like the idea of making resolutions.It is the of not giving up that is important.
I think of the year like a carpet of new fallen snow that has not yet been by footprints or marks of any kind.It before us so perfect and beautiful, but it won’t remain that way for long. we know it, we must get out in the snow and make our own marks and tracks.Soon, we will see all kinds of and paths in the snow.We will see everything from , icy mud to the prints of snow angels made by children at play.
It’s all part of our .As we close out the old year, a new set of months lies ahead of us and we think, “Maybe, just maybe I can do .” Perhaps, this time, we can lose those pounds, a bad habit, improve our behavior, build a better relationship.Even though there are situations in our lives that can get us , we can look forward to beginning again and doing what we can do to our lives according to how we are able.
