Who Made The First New Year's Resolution? |
What makes people stay up until the wee hours of the morning one night out of the year? My primary objective in life is not to see how late I can stay up but to get up in the morning.
If I can get up each morning, it is a significant accomplishment that I should celebrate with eggs, bacon, and a hot cup of coffee which is about all the celebrating I can handle.
I'm not anxious to see someone drop the ball on New Year's Eve. I do enough of that myself throughout the year, and believe me, nobody cheers.
I am most careful to do each New Year's Day to make out my resolutions for the coming year. New Year's resolutions represent one of the most ancient of human rituals. I say human traditions because it is unknown whether the animal or plant world enjoys such exhilarating patterns. The evidence at this point is inclusive.
