The First Month of the Year is almost Passed.

By now I would guess everyone is done making resolutions and almost everyone has broken the resolutions they had made BUT I hope that you are indeed soaring to new heights as Titus & Philemon are.

If your resolution(s) have crashed and burned don't pout about it.

We all can have as many "do overs" as we want.

When someone has wronged us the Bible says we should forgive them 70 times 7 (in short forever). If we should forgive others an infinite time shouldn't we forgive ourselves just as many times?

If you are bummed about broken resolutions just pick yourself back up and try again... as many times as it takes. Don't Worry, Be Happy!

Hello Bob and I like do overs, we all need to remember a resolution is a goal on New Year Eve.

I was thinking the same - amazing that we are almost done with January . Separately ..  new year's resolutions need to be small and achievable or else they go out the window pretty quickly

Hi Bob Happy Thursday!  And I love Timmothy's comic strip! Very Creative!  He gets better and better.  And he's showing off his wings!

My main goal each and every year is simply to BE HAPPY!  Going strong as usual in 2023.

That is right Will Hamm . They are usually spur of the moment thoughts and not well thought out.

I am so glad that January is almost in the books Mark Don McInnes, Sandpoint-Idaho . While I don't really want to wish time fly by I do often North Dakota winters would fly by. 😃

Although our winters seem long and drawn out here in ND Lise Howe I will agree that this January has gone by very fast. I am looking forward to May when the snow should be gone. 🙂

So far, I haven't broken any resolutions but then you can't break what you don't make.

Good morning, Bob... I solved this problem a long time ago. I just never make sweeping New Year resolutions! And I'm always happy and rarely worry.

Time sure does  pass fast as we wrap up January 2023.  I'm looking forward to a very productive year ahead and think the market will pick up as soon as we get closer to spring.

I don't think I ever took my own New Years' resolutions seriously Nina Hollander, Broker thus it didn't bother me to break the ones I had made BUT now I am in the same camp as you... just don't make them. That being said I do intend to keep one I have made for years... to travel to NC and see my queen. 😍

I sincerely hope you are correct Barbara Michaluk . I really want to see those interest rates drop as it would be very good for my loan closing business as well as for all my friends here in the RE business.
