It’s a new year and a time for resolutions we may or may not actually resolve to keep.

Here are 10 of mine – to keep and not to keep:

First, I know I won’t:

1. Lose weight.
2. Exercise regularly.
3. Eat a healthier diet.
4. Drink less.
5. Work harder.
6. Be more tolerant.
7. Learn to play the piano.
8. Grow a beard.
9. Get a tattoo.
10. Take a cruise.

But maybe I will at least try to:

1. Laugh out loud a lot.
2. Sing more.
3. Tell her every day that I love her.
4. Vote every chance I get.
5. Enjoy time with friends.
6. Read more books.
7. Savor good hamburgers.
8. Eat more seafood.
9. Say thank you.
10. Count my blessings.

Happy New Year!
