In 1984 I resolve to:
- willingly volunteer (without being prodded, begged or pushed) to help out with some
committee, task force, etc. , in my senior group.
- thank of and be thankful for two blessings every time I complain.
- make weekly phone contact with at least one shut-in person from my church, senior
group, relatives, etc.
- meet and become acquainted with at least five new people, inviting them to
participate with me in one of my activities.
- promote positive thinking, refusing to dwell on what is going wrong with the world.
- assess my talents and strengths and offer them to others, in a constructive way.
- exercise daily and keep my mind and body active.
- concentrate on smiling instead of frowning, doing what I can to make my own life more
meaningful.
- expect 1984 to be one of the most enjoyable years of my life.
