I've resolved to merely survive. I buried my father yesterday but one day last week I promised him to do everything in my power to maintain a proper lifestyle for my family. With all the current threats we now face I'm afraid for the first time in my life I may have voiced more than I can back up. This year feels different. In years past I've resolved to stop smoking and did so cold turkey. One year I resolved to make a certain amount of money and easily exceeded that goal. There have been many such resolutions over the years and I DON'T fail. I fear for all of us that this coming year may bring some insurmountable issues. For me at least it has started tough and I'm hoping against hope it doesn't go downhill from here. Feel free to join me in this resolution to merely survive.
