I found this article about how to keep your New Year's resolutions.  It also gives some interesting statistics about New Year's resolutions.  For instance, 35% of those that make a resolution don't even get going.  Maybe this article will provide some extra motivation to keep your resolutions this year.  Good luck and Happy New Year!!

As I was contemplating my New Year's resolutions this year, I found this article on the top ten New Year's resolutions.  I found it interesting that a couple of the resolutions in this list are ones that I have made in the past, and ones that I am making this year.  I am sure that they are on this list for a reason.  Enjoy, and see if you have made a top ten resolution this year.  Happy New Year!!

Keep your children safe while trick or treating.  With young children go with them.  Tell them to watch carefully as they cross the street because drivers may not see them easily in their costumes!
