New Years Resolutionairies are Finally Dropping Out

Every year during New Years...a lot of society makes "New Years Resolutions".  Most resolutions are kicked to the curb within a week. Many of the New Years "Resolutionaries" as I call them embark on healthy eating and fitness.

The crowds at fitness centers typically subside within a week. However, this year has been different....they are still clogging my cardio and fitness equipment!!  Nothing like a 25 year old Gen Zer or whatever they are, sitting on equipment and texting for 20 minutes!! When will it end?

Although not a New Years resolution, a have noticed that many people have Christmas lights on.  Every year I remind people that there are  12 days of Christmas and that Christmas does not end until January 6 (feast of the epiphany).   There are 8 days of Hannukah and the followers do not remove the decorations until after the 8th day and this year was no different. Actually, THIS year I noted that there were more Hannukah decorations than ever!!

All of this tells me that we will all have a great 2025!!! Here's hoping!!

I can't remember the last time I made a New Year's resolution.  I figure anything important enough to do can be initiated any day of the year.  And my neighbor still has his outside trees wrapped in lights and turned on at night.  Good to have some color, we're in the snow white and brown phase of our winter.

Paddy, I stopped making New Year's Resolutions a long time ago.  However, every year I make a commitment to improve my well-being.

Hi Paddy- I don't make resolutions for the same reason Liz and Bill Spear (Bill) doesn't. I love all of the decorations, especially the lights. As for the gym, I remember when we went to Planet Fitness. I stood politely for almost 10 minutes waiting on a woman chatting on her phone while she sat at the piece of equipment I wanted. I did push patience to the side and said something to her.

Hello Paddy - I wonder what ends sooner each year.  Dry January or New Year's resolution-keeping?   Asking for a friend.

Ha, young people and texting is like eating steak without chewing—fast, relentless, and possibly dangerous for your health. There’s barely enough time to blink before the following text buzzes in.

At this rate, I’m half-expecting my grandson, who’s turning two this March, to text me an emoji shopping list for his birthday—probably a dinosaur, a truck, and maybe a pizza slice!😁No New Year's resolutions for me.

Aura I enjoyed your comment...and you probably are not far off from the timing of your grandson's request as well as his list!!
