Resolution For When Things Don’t Go As Planned 

 

Things don’t always go the way that I have planned. Maybe I can change my reaction to events that are out of my control. I will need to make a resolution for the New Year.

 

I will make better use of my time

when things don’t go as planned.

 

Work on creative ideas

Do something that I have been putting off

Take a well deserved “breather”

Read a book

Go for a walk

Contact someone by phone

Help another person

Ha! I got that message the other morning too. I suppose doing something productive would be better than sitting there and hitting the refresh button every 10 seconds...

I like the list you have going. The thing about making a list though, looks great on paper, but you need to follow through! Happy New Year!

The geeks at ActiveRain do a great job behind the scenes and I am sure that they make every effort to get things back in working order. Me hitting the refresh button does not speed things up; I have plenty of productive things that I can work on Brian.

Great way to look at it!  In my mind though you already are doing many of these things including your creative ideas and your willingness to always help others!  

Happy New Years and new year to you!

Tom, sometimes when things don't go as planned, it means you may have some free time to do something else and don't even need an excuse! Here's to a happy and successful New Year!

Tom the way that has been coming up lately you sir are going to get a lot of reading in.  Go grad a handful of books you'll need them.
