Dear PS madam,

Happy New year and hope you had a good start to the New year.
Thank you Rama!
I am used to making resolutions not on New Year's eve or day but as and when I am faced with different situations, the only difference being that these everyday resolutions, am not sure if I keep them for I have no way of accounting other than a similar incident happening again, which will remind me of my resolution at the previous instance!

You are adopting the right procedure. As and when we confront a situation we have to make the resolution.

Anyways, the only resolution I remember making last year as a token start was to not pay any fines to the library (I will have to start a whole new thread to explain all that) - it was a silent promise to myself and fortunately I lived up to it till I reached mid Dec and then I ended up paying fines. You see the resolution had weakend a little by then and then there were many other happenings which supported my thought that I had come this far and because of unforeseen circumstances, I had to buckle!! Neverthless, I am happy I made that resolution - it taught me to be responsible in many ways and I am glad I tried. No doubt aboout that at all!

When something happens beyond our control we can't be blamed for it! As far as possible we will try to stick to our resolution.

This year, I was pretty clear that I will not set tone to how I want my year to be on the first day and ended up allwoing the day to offer what it had to - with my consent and against my will. It was an interesting exercise
Did I ramble too much again?

Dear Pushpa aunty,
Still I am happy with that and never cared for any resolutions on a specific day as I constantly attempt to make myself better and better without my conscious involvement and I like to bring a change in gradual and silent nature which yields me good results rather than sudden changes with so much of advertising which only ends up making oneself fool infront of others.

You are right. Resolutions are made only to make ourselves a better human. There is no need to announce it to the whole world and make a fool of ourselves if we can't stick to them!

As I am currently trying to improve myself in lot more things, I just tagged them as new year resolutions, but as per me they will be a gradual change for my betterment in person and life and I am least bothered about the time period or breaking on them in between as they will sure to occur as a gradual change in me though I stumble in between a number of times.

We may slip many times but we can correct ourselves if we have the will power.

We definitely change our habits/include some new habits if they are must and in real need to us, whether it may be at the start/middle/end of the year is of meagre value. So why to think of resolutions only at the start of the year.:hide:

We can make a resolution on any day as and when we feel to make it.
Love,
PS

New Year is another day as the other days. Why to make a big fuss about it and rake the brain?

Dear PS
Now thats what I've started thinking of the change in the year... now tell me why is it that we are compelled to make resolutions only in the event of the english calender change????... why not when the bengali new year comes or Parsi new year comes or any other???...can you imagine making so many resolutions per year???.. too complicated so its in the best interest of our very well being that no resolution need to be made for any of the new years!!!! NOW THATS waht I call a RESOLUTION!!!
