Three Little Words

The folks at Trifecta have challenged us to write a three-word New Year's resolution.

Oh, man. I can think of a bazillion.

Finish that novel.
Drink less booze.
Go to church.
Don't overwhelm myself.
Say "no" more.
Say "yes" more.
F*cking swear less.

Hubs offered a suggestion: "Don't hit people." I didn't appreciate the implication that I'm violent, so I smacked him.

In the end, I guess I really need to:

Just do better.

      Oh, Kir! YOU are the inspiration, my dear. I am honored to call you my friend. BTW, I want to be just like you when I grow up.

      I'm hoping 2014 brings you all the happiness and blessings you so deserve.

    Sitting at the airport in Toronto, waiting for my ride to show up so, what to do, what to do.......I know, read some good resolutions. If I was being honest, I think I prefer, "F*cking swear less" but, your final choice is fairly all-encompassing, too. Good choice. Happy New Year, Ivy! :)

      Haha! Oh, Tom; I look forward to your comments. Your words always makes me smile. Two days of 2014 are in the can, and I've already failed f*cking miserably with the swearing thing. Saying naughty words is just so ... fun. :)

      Thanks for the continued support. I hope this new year brings you great things!
