At this time of year, (way too) many of us contemplate, sign-up for and commit to various New Years resolutions.
It's what us humans do; it's our thing.
That said, and in recognition of the yin-yang-slippity-slop-shish-boom-bang nature of 2013 (just as it was in '12, '11, '10 and most years, if not all, for that matter) ... it's easy to see why we want to focus on positive resolutions.
(As if anyone would sign up for negative ones, right?)
But before we go setting overachieving, our-of-reach, unbelievably optimistic resolutions using words like extraordinary, phenomenal and other uber-super-duper adjectives - let's keep the expectations real, manageable and most of all - achievable. (Can I get an AMEN!?)
That said, a word that that fits very nicely given past issues, present dynamics and future uncertainties, is the word ... are you ready for it? ... hold-on-to-your hat ... drum roll please:
GOOD.
(Yes, good.)
Good works.
It's Believable. Realistic. Achievable.
So here's to keeping it real, and keeping ...
Good Health
Good Habits
Good Friends
Good Business
Good Careers
Good Work
Good Faith
Good Love
Good Living
Good Family
(Insert your own here)
Good is Great.
Happy New Year.
BE GOOD.
