As we start another new year, it’s time to make unrealistic resolutions that clash with reality:
Resolution #1 – I vow to get healthier in mind, spirit and body.
Reality #1 – While I continue to attempt to be the man that God wants me to be in mind and spirit, I all too often morph back into the man that can be critical of myself for failures to be that godly person. This is not a yearly resolution but one that gets restated every day. As for the healthy body, I’m doing the best I can with what I have to work with.
Resolution #2 – I vow to continue trying to understand the liberal-mindset and the progressive-left.
Reality #2 – Until someone can actually explain to me what “social and financial fairness” is, it’s just not happening. Our nation was founded on working hard and striving to be your best…..NOT having some government bureaucrat with a bad comb-over passing your hard-earned money on to someone who refuses to work for his own.
Resolution #3 – I vow to find a Republican presidential candidate I can fully support without holding my nose when I go to the ballot box.
Reality #3 – Unless Chris Christie changes his mind and jumps into the race within a week or so, it will be another slow walk into the voting booth. While Christie doesn’t have the solid social conservative stamp of approval some of the dinosaurs in the GOP are looking for, he is a man who knows how to work with members of BOTH political parties to get things done and our country needs that more than anything right now.
Finally, I resolve to be kinder and gentler with my fellow mankind. As long as they don’t cross me….
