Resolutions Revisited
Have You Kept Yours?

Techniques for balance: New Year's Resolutions
Give someone a modest gift once a month (which could be as simple as your time or your attention). Unexpected gifts are much more appreciated than those that are "mandatory" during the Holidays, birthdays, and other "events."
Give up one vice. It might be something huge, such as smoking or poor diet, but the little things provide a great feeling of accomplishment (e.g., leaving stuff where it gets lost, snubbing a neighbor, failing to get the car serviced).
Do one minor thing that makes your life much easier, to the extent that you wonder why you never did it before. Fix the cable TV set-up so you can really record using the timer; oil something that drives you crazy by squeaking all the time (this must be inanimate); organize your files so that you can find things quickly. I finally got our DVD player to work.
Read a classic book. Choose Dickens, or Shakespeare, or Henry James, or Sinclair Lewis. Life is too short not to have read "A Tale of Two Cities," "Hamlet," "An American Tragedy," or "Main Street."
Volunteer time. It may be a grand gesture, as a board member, or a modest offer, such as serving in a soup kitchen. It doesn't matter. Give something back.
Plan a "vacation" wherein you stay home for several days, and visit a museum, local attractions you never get to, take a hike, or go for a drive.
Develop a plan to pay down indebtedness. Paying off debt is the same as saving money in your accounts, and even more effective if you're paying exorbitant interest rates.
Develop an affinity for a different kind of music. Try classical, jazz, reggae, doo-wop, new age, or whatever. There is great talent in many fields, most of which can offer comfort and solace.
Be cognizant of the importance of each day, and make each one count, not only to you but to those around you. The tragedies of the past year should emphasize to all of us that we should live and love in the moment.
