Resolutuons

Well, it's a new year. Each year I spend the last few days of the year reviewing all my actions of the prior 365 days. I develop a list of resolutions. These are intended to make me more thoughtful, healthy, and empathetic. Alas, for over70 years, I have been spectacularly unsuccessful in keeping them. Often, I doubted the necessity of following through on such a restrictive regime. This thought often occurred to me before noon on January 1. Therefore my plan for 2022 is to employ what Freud would call reverse psychology; below is my list of resolutions I am making for the coming year

1) This year, I plan to offer my wife as much advice as I can to help her do things better.

2) I will eat only fatty foods 

3) I will drink more coffee. 

4) I will stay in touch with friends and family.

5) I will watch as much political news as possible and fret upon the health of our nation.

6) I will not exercise.

7) I will meditate as infrequently as possible.

8) I will check Facebook many times a day.

9) I will binge-watch a TV series at least once a month 

10) I will complain hardly about arthritis in my left knee 11) I will play sudoku at least ten times a day
