Resolutions/Affirmations ( Archived) (18)

Somewhere I read or heard that it’s helpful to either say, or write, the things we want to improve on. And, since The New Year is generally a good time, or as good a time as any, I’ll start. Hopefully a few of my observations and experiences will help, but I certainly don’t want to impose that. So, mine are: to lose even more weight and increase exercise, be careful with finances, and to gain more skills and a pleasant outlook and demeanor with others. I already got started this morning on the finances part. I had set aside forty dollars for a new wallet. The one I have seemed OK, but the drivers license/medical cards section was dog eared and the documents fall out every time I open the wallet. So, I emptied the whole thing out, sorted what didn’t really need to be in it (a bunch of crap) and found the exact seams that were causing it to not “hold” the things in. I triple-sewed that pocket sleeve back. I then smoothed out the wallet flat, gave it a good cleaning and leather treated, and PRESTO, it’s like new and looks dapper enough. Saved forty bucks, at least for now. Another hint, guys. Like a good hot breakfast? When you make your omelet and fries or hash browns, double the order, and split it before sitting down. Put the seconds in a dish, cover, put in fridge. You have a yummy breakfast you only have to nuke the next day...simple enough, but we don’t always think about it. Last, stash a spare car key in your wallet. Almost every man I know has always got his wallet in his hip pocket, so if you lock the car with keys in, you have a key ON you...you can keep a spare house key in there, too, or at least one in the car, because you already can get into the car. Just some things to remember. If you are in the market for a gas can, I strongly urge you to pony up the few extra bucks and get the one that pours FROM THE BOTTOM. Honestly, I don’t know why it took so long for these to hit market. They are BRILLIANT. Happy New Year, everyone...

I wish everyone and myself a good 2021 and a year of abundance as well, although it may well end up being another miserable year like this one was...

I am going to try to treat people better, and with more tolerance, I have experienced some wobbles with this Covid and after locking myself out of my house a couple of times I've invested in a key safe.

Well I'm gonna try
