Basically I refuse to make any New Year’s Resolutions,
as when I did so in my childhood, I was incapable of sticking to them for more
than a week. Even if, as a teenager, I did marginally better, I have long since
learned that they are rather pointless especially as in the euphoria of the
moment one tends to make rather unrealistic ones.
However, one of my close friends did come
up with one with which I will have to heartily concur: A moratorium on death! http://theexpatwriter.blogspot.ch/2015/12/moratorium-on-death.html
However, following a very pleasant
gathering at my home of friends on New Year’s Eve and a January 1st
continuing along the same lines, I have decided that a good one for 2016 might
be: continue the year as I ended it – with friends! I will thus strive in 2016
to catch up with my friends, see those who live near more often, keep in better
touch with those who live far away and in general try and be a better friend
myself.
I could do worse.
Friends for over 60 years! |
