With the holidays over and the New Year beginning, sometimes we find ourselves with time on our hands. I still enjoy hunting, so maybe Dakota would let me hangout with the teenagers. I don’t think so. What category do you fall into when it comes to New Year resolutions? Are you one of those who writes a list and tries to stick to it, or one who thinks about it for a few days and then forgets about it, or one who thinks it is stupid and impossible and doesn’t even consider it? Whether or not you fall into one of these categories, I do believe that all of us in one way or another want to improve our lives.

According to several different studies the list is pretty much the same for most people. Try these on: Improve your health by going on a diet or by giving up smoking. Or some are determined to spend more time with their family. Still others want to do more for those less fortunate and also make time to do those things they most enjoy. And the younger we are, the longer the list seems

to be. Perhaps this is because as we grow older, we remember the many times we have failed at the long list of changes we wanted to make in our lives. The list grows shorter every year for me.
