Poll: What is Your New Year's Resolution?

It's the time of year when we make a heartfelt vow to change. But, change what?

A New Year's resolution is a once-a-year stab we humans make at trying to change.

New Year's resolutions usually don't last more than a month. If you want evidence, check Craigslist in early February and see how many exercise machines in Plymouth are for sale. Diet and weight loss top the list of resolutions, followed by the promise to stop smoking and cut back on drinking. 

It's been a few years since I've made a New Year's resolution, but this year I decided to try to do something fun. Instead of saying I can't do something, I am looking for the positive spin- I will put an hour aside each day to do something that I want to do– read a book, go for a walk, write a letter, go swimming. It might be the easiest resolution I have ever made, and I will be sure to keep it.
