What I want to suggest as I sit at home and appreciate what I have (my children), I would like to challenge Lethbridge to review or appreciate what they "did actually accomplish in 2012." What goals did I achieve? Instead of such a focus on what we should or want to be, make New Year's the celebration of what we did accomplish.
Set a resolution but at the end of the year celebrate your success. I remember the year I agreed to give up french fries with a co-worker and how happy I was to succeed. Celebrate the good you achieved but still set the bar or goal to become even better than the year before. Keep it a celebration. Don't wish it over to start anew.
