Well, I almost made it through the Christmas season without engaging at all in my Christmas rant.  Almost.  I did, this morning, feel the need to correct two people on the bus as to when the twelve days actually were, but apart from that I did not rant at all to anyone.  (Well, about this topic, anyway.)

Before the new year starts and the Christmas season ends, I do feel the need, however to state, for the record, what my New Year’s Resolutions will be.  Chances are, if you are reading this, then you know me.  If you know me, then you’ve probably heard one (or more) of my many, many schemes and world-saving ideas.  If you’ve heard at least one of these and did not walk away from me thinking I was a complete moron, then you probably have figured out that I have a tendency to start things and not finish them.

My New Year’s Resolution is this: to FINISH one thing I have already started.  Just one thing.  Doesn’t matter what.  I just want to start the cycle of completion.  Who knows, I may even enjoy the feeling of accomplishment that you get when you are done.  I will end this post with a quote from my favorite ants:

If you take a long vacation
Without making preparation
For the coming winter when you go
When you get back from your going
And the winter winds are blowing
There’ll be nothing left to eat but snow.

We don’t pretend it’s easy but at time it can be fun
And you’ll never feel a feeling that’s as good as the one that you feel when you’re done.
