<\/a>I never make any because I know I can’t keep them. I just try to continue to be a good person, and hope that everyone gets that memo, as well, although, realistically, I know that few do.<\/p>\nBut, I’m going to continue counting my blessings, (which are many, if you really think about it, knock on wood,) and pray for peace on earth. No joking. Every year, when I blow out my January 14th birthday cake candles, (hint, hint,) I make a long silent wish, and then throw in \u201cand peace on earth\u201d out loud at the end, for laughs. But I’m really not kidding about wishing for it always.<\/p>\n
Okay, reading over what I just wrote, I just thought of a semi-resolution I can make, which should make all of my readers happy: I vow to try to make my columns just a tad shorter. How about that? I always feel like I’m cheating, like in college, when I write a shorter piece; but, I swear, just now, in the shower I was thinking about it, and realized that, with everyone being so time-constrained these days, fewer words may be a service to the public.<\/p>\n
So, with that in mind, I’m ending this one now, with a wish that 2013 turns out to bring everything we each want it to be.<\/p>\n
And peace on earth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
WELCOME 2013! Even though I’m a major harker-backer, (which is great sometimes, but annoying the rest,) I really would rather always look forward, with optimism. (Actually, I mainly try to live in the present, but often that’s not so easy.) So, ItsNotAboutMe.TV would like to officially welcome 2013! We’re always hoping for the best<\/p>\n
