Do you have any plans or resolutions for 2026?

Yesterday I decided to make one resolution for each month. There are many things I could put on a list of 12, but none of them seem appealing. But I should, I really should.

In the past many years my resolutions were to lose weight so I'd be thin, to get a tan, and to quit smoking. I never got a tan. When I could tell I had one, to prove it to anyone else I had to pull up my shirt and put my arm across my stomach. That gets old, especially if resolution to be thin hasn't been achieved yet. I didn't do this with strangers -- just close friends. That resolution spent 30+ years on my list.

I got thin but never thought of it as a resolution met until yesterday. I was doing it for health reasons, and I've been thin for about 20 years now. So yay! One resolution kept.

And I quit smoking. Another one that was not done because of a resolution. So yay! Another kept, but that doesn't mean I'm happy about it. Just resolved to my fate to be a nonsmoker.

I have accumulated a lot faults - mostly due to the dire disease of procrastination. So I have at least 12 resolutions I could make. If only I could think of what they were! Actually, of course I know; they are always in the back of my mind. Which is a good reason to get them sorted.

I figure by the end of the year I will be perfect. You all can envy for that, but be sure to tell me about it, so I don't lose the opportunity to preen.
 
Never make resolutions but my big plan for the new year is to start using my cell phone to store and use to listen to music! I'm still stuck in the nineties using an old cordered MP3 player loaded from Apple Itunes.

I have already loaded Spotify (free version) on my phone and am in the process of creating a play list. Next step is to decide on wireless ear buds or headphones, which means I will overload my brain with research and paralyze myself with indecision. Hopefully I can decide before 2027 rolls around🙄
