I can't decide if I

I can't decide if I want to make resolutions. I
used to as a teen. They included such aspirations as improving a math grade;
making 1st chair in the All-District Band; getting rid of my colony of zits;
"get along" with my mother. I got a B in Algebra 2, made 1st chair, reduced the
colony, and, well, if you count the past five years, have gotten along with my
mother significantly better. I am not a list maker, so maybe that is it. I look
at a list and am overwhelmed at what must be accomplished. I prefer a running
task list in my mind. This provides for distraction and entertainment. My
wonderful husband is very German, as in he loves lists and "orderliness" and
everything scrubby-dutchy. He married a Frenchwoman, as in live for the moment,
we have tomorrow, and allows her stomach to decide the menu, not her pocketbook.
We compliment one another. I have made a few lists in the 15 years we have spent
together, he has gained "joyeux de vivre." It is a good set up. So, maybe I'll
let him make some New Year's "Suggestions" for me. Perhaps I will make an
exhaustive list of goals for him. Yes, I think that is the ticket to an
enjoyable ride this year.
