In response to last
week’s question, “What New Year’s resolution will you not keep?”, my dad’s
beach buddy Bob declared, “To die young.”
My cousin Don and
neighbor agree concurred, “That I'll keep my New Year’s resolutions.” My friend Royce was a bit more descriptive as
he wrote, “Every damn one! At least I'm honest.”
My birthday bud Jon
responded, “To stop replying to Hal’s “Hmmm” emails. Oh, damn! Blew it
already.”
My friend Richard
replied, “Actually, I keep my one resolution EVERY year, because I resolve
every year to make no other New Year’s resolutions!”
My friend Kosol
lamented, “If I didn't keep a resolution for last year, it definitely ain't
happening this year although I do hope and wish for greater things to
come this year.”
My musical friend Bruce
advised, “This year (now that I'm retired again), I will keep ALL of them...
you see, the difference between goals and accomplishment is nothing more than
true discipline!” To this my college
roomie observed, “I guess I need to make some resolutions.”
Please share your
thoughts about "things that make you go 'Hmmm' “:
Is nomophobia* an
age related issue?
According
to Oxford Dictionary's 2012 word of the year list, Nomophobia is the anxiety
caused by being without one’s mobile phone [from no + mo(bile) + phobia]
Life is too short for drama and petty things, so kiss
slowly, laugh insanely, love truly, and forgive quickly.
