Those Troubling New Year’s Resolutions

Just for Fun

Lose weight!  Get organized!  Save money!  Eat healthy!  Will someone please tell me why resolutions have to be so unpleasant!  So troubling!  Even happy ones like having more fun, getting more rest, and spending more time with friends still seem like another item tacked onto our growing to-do lists.
