A popular topic of conversation this time of year seems to be what resolutions people have made for the new year. Then I stumbled across a list of popular resolutions published by the US government. I’m not really sure how they would know them, but here is their list:
- Lose weight
- Volunteer to help others
- Quit smoking
- Get a better education
- Get a better job
- Save money
- Get fit
- Eat healthy food
- Manage stress
- Manage debt
- Take a trip
- Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle
- Drink less alcohol
And each of the 13 has a link to related government-provided information or services. Not a bad idea, if you make resolutions. Do I? Not a chance; as some people say, resolutions are made to be broken. And as Yoda said in The Empire Strikes Back, “Try not. Do or do not. There is no try.” At least this way, I don’t break any resolutions…
You can see the list and resources at http://www.usa.gov/Citizen/Topics/New_Years_Resolutions.shtml. Just do it!
