Bad:       Watching someone you love very much hurt.
      Worse:     Knowing they are hurting because someone they love and respect  
                         purposefully  hurt them.
      Worst:         Not being able to punch the daylights out of said mean person!!!!!!

2016

                         I have never been a goal oriented being. I do not follow along blindly either. I just sorta drift through life at my own pace, be it fast or slow. I have never set New Years Resolutions, no one ever seems to follow through on them anyway. Oh sure their all gung ho at the start of the new year but it doesn't take long to get old, realize the resolutions were not realistic (yes I said realistic, I can be a 45 year-old, I just choose not to be) either to their lifestyle or abilities. Or simply decide they don't like the results they have come up with. I don't see anything wrong with making resolutions, some people actually follow thru on them. And bully for them, it's great to be able to accomplish a goal. I was in a play once where I had to slap another character, I would make it to their face and stop, my instructor told me I had no follow thru. I guess I made it a motto for life. I have numerous half finished projects in storage. Maybe a goal seems to much like a demand, never been real good with demands either.Just because I'm good at doing what I'm told doesn't mean I like being ordered around and yet I am not a self starter. Guess gentle persuasion works better on me. There is nothing gentle about a clear cut goal.....I AM GOING TO LOSE 50 POUNDS. That is an audacious goal, a good one if you are uncomfortable with the weight or medically need it gone but not because society dictates body image. But a hard one to achieve. Reaching said goal is only the beginning, then you must maintain, which can be more challenging than actually reaching the goal. Maybe I have a fear of failure so I never finish what I start, that way it can't be wrong in the end.
                      But the calendar has flipped for another year, that doesn't mean today is different from yesterday or tomorrow, the date is what has really changed, we are putting a 6 behind the 201 instead of a 5. Friday still came after Thursday. January still followed December. Thankfully the sun still came up this morning even if it's hiding behind clouds. I guess what I'm getting at is you don't need a new calender year to make changes in your life, if they need to be made, make them. Be it the first day of the year or the middle of  April. May your every day not just the new year be filled with love, joy and many many blessings. And may your goals be worth the efforts,giving you the satisfaction you think they will.
