Be it resolved in 2015, I
will always think of the water cistern as half-full rather than half-empty.
With that, I am just getting started, which is unusual for me. I have never
been one to attempt to make, never mind keep, New Year’s resolutions. Oh,
except there was the year I resolved to drink more. I did accomplish that.
Next, in an effort to get
greener, a New Year’s resolution to use the clothes line more in 2015 would be
in order. And, no, it does not necessarily require that I straighten the twisted
northernmost cross arm of said line; an anomaly that just adds character and
charm!
Be it further resolved that
I run the home heating oil tank on full, not empty in 2015. Now this might just
seem to be common sense, but believe me there are exceptions. One of those just
might be when diesel fuel prices are on a downward spiral. Then don’t be caught
zigging when you should be zagging and end up with a tank full of expensive
fuel. Not that I am admitting to doing this; just saying!
When you commit to this
resolution thing, I think you have to be all in or nothing! That brings me to another
that I should have made years ago. Be it resolved that in 2015 I will rent the
tree spade from our wonderful Clear Hills County administration that I might
transplant many a mighty spruce from our fenceline to a new home within Grouses’
Grail.
With time marching on, I am
increasingly of the mind that life should not be occupied by uncommon drudgery and
I do resolve this New Year to be non-accepting of the mundane! To assist me in
this, I will continue with a strategy that’s served me well. In part, that is
to stay on the roads less traveled. But mostly it is my close association with
many enriching characters in my life for whom I am eternally grateful.
There you go; I have my work
cut out for me in the year ahead. Here is hoping for a happy, healthy 2015 for all
of you!
