“Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.”  Martin Luther King, Jr. Photo by Leonard Freed, 1964

There’s one prize left from our New Year’s Resolution contest. Please VOTE (through Jan. 21) for your favorite –

1.   I resolve to be a better friend – the kind of friend I’d want to be friends with.
2.   I resolve to cross off anything on my to-do list after it has sadly sat there, unfinished and incomplete, for over three months.
3.   I resolve to stop talking to/encouraging/nudging and swearing at the mascara applying-face shaving-message texting-map reading-hair twirling other drivers who annoy the hell out of me and can’t hear me anyway…
4.   My New Years resolution is to find even more humor in everything.
5.   I resolve to read for pleasure more often.
6.   Even though I’m currently living in a city where I’m less than happy, I resolve to make the most of my last 6 months here so that I can look back on my experience with fondness rather than sourness.
7.   I resolve to spend less time in idle activities (like Facebook) and more time with fun, entrepreneurial and industrial endeavors.
8.   I vow to be brave as I start my new job at a local hospice facility and be strong as I (finally) start the nursing program later this year.
9.   I resolve to figure out what I like to do to have fun, and then do lots of it.
10. I resolve to make more plans with friends.
