Ladies,
Have You Heard? ...
By Doris Thomas, Extension Home Economist
At the beginning of each new year, people make resolutions
.. . lots of them. I’m sure you made some . . I did, but just like
everyone else, I’ll break them before the end
of the year.
But looking ahead at a new year is like
being given a clean slate and a new piece of
chalk All at once it seems possible to start
again with our best foot forward.
There’s something else about the new year
. . . at the beginning of it we think over our
worst failings, jot them down, determined to
do something about them Surely, this year
we’ll be kinder to people We don’t postpone a
30b when we have it to do . . . and we’ll try
each day to do as much as possible.
What’s more, we write our resolutions
where we can see them and read them
Middlegreen
Our next step is to carry them, out We
start off with high hopes . . .
and the first two or three days
we manage to do some of them.

Then we begin to slacken off
. . . our enthusiasm staits to
dwindle. The year doesn’t seem
quite so new and shiny Things
and people from the previous
year keep cropping up to inter
fere with our best resolutions.
After all, we decide this year
is just a continuation of the one
before it . . . and we start to
settle down into our old ways.
But why make resolutions?
Maybe it’s a silly idea when we
know all too well how soon
we’ll break them. _
But maybe it’s a good thing to
set down our highest resolves
once a year. It’s so easy to go
along day after day, excusing
our failings, telling ourselves
that they’re only small fault’s. It
takes a special occasion lik% the
brink of a new year to make us
stop and think.
Perhaps we carry our resolu
tions for only a day or two . . •
or perhaps only for a few hours.
Yet, who can say how often
they influence us through the
year from the hidden places of
our minds. Writing out our re
solutions may help to make 1971
the year of our better selves.
