Friends around the New Year's Eve dinner table shrugged when I asked about New Year's resolutions. They didn't care to ask me, either. Is it supposed to be a "don't ask/don't tell" sort of thing? The most common response to my question about New Year's resolutions is a shrug, and the next most common is to mumble something about not bothering because they "don't work". Hmmph. Well. Maybe we didn't need change as much before. Maybe you've learned something between then and now that will be the key to making that change. And, hey, no maybe about it, time has passed, and you aren't guaranteed more years and more chances. Now's the time.
