Resolve This!

Resolve This!

So as I’m writing it looks like 2015 has arrived in what seems like record time.

And I suppose some of us who’ve attended many past rodeos might be a little cynical or resigned…as in…here we go again. But not me; in fact, as we open up a new calendar, I can’t wait to get my hands on that big blank page that shows up every January 1.

I see the pristine sheet as a reminder that I can be the author of my own life story. And what’s really cool is the chance we all have to share the experience.

I love New Year resolutions; I write ‘em down. Shucks, I even go public with ‘em.

So here they are; my Top Ten New Year resolutions for 2015:

10. You’re in my dental chair. I say, “Almost done.” 3 minutes later I’m still working. I resolve you get 10-bucks!

9. I resolve to write at least one personal note per day…legibly.

8. I resolve (and this is a tough one) to stop physically and verbally abusing my computer, Hal…whenever possible.

7. I’ll appreciate the Lakers…because they’re softer than Charmin.

6. I’ll remember Dental Assistant Appreciation Day comes along 365-days per year.

5. I resolve to run down Las Tunas wearing only a hula skirt and a bruin baseball cap when the Piazza, Pizzeria, the Gateway or whatever finally opens on Rosemead and Las Tunas.

4. I resolve I will scamper down Las Tunas in a hula skirt, bruin baseball cap, wearing a “I heart Michael Bolton” t-shirt when redevelopment, at long last, transforms downtown Temple City.

3. I will say, “I love you” at least once a day. And yeah, Dental Assistant Extraordinaire Dani, no mirrors allowed.

2. I vow that I won’t mix plaid, stripes, and paisley attire…thus ignoring all fashion tips from my co-workers.

1. I resolve to continue looking and listening for greatness, humor, and compassion…unless I’m speaking to a banker.

Happy New Year!
