Did you make a New Year's Resolution for 2009?   Maybe it's spending more time with family & friends?  Exercise more or start an exercise program?  Get organized; declutter; get out of debt or fight the battle of the bulge?  Maybe you want to quit smoking or change careers? 

My New Year's Resolution for 2009 is... NOT to make a New Year's Resolution!  After years and years of numerous New Year's Resolutions, that somehow ALWAYS get broken, I've decided to try something new.  It's kind of like "reverse-psychology".  I'm taking the "pressure" off of myself by NOT having a "resolution".  Don't get me wrong, there are several things I will work on in the coming New Year; however, I didn't want the added pressure of everyone asking: "Have you broken your New Year's Resolution yet?"  So what about you...resolution or a resolution to NOT have a resolution?  (Which really is a resolution, after all, isn't it?)
