15 New Year's Resolutions
for the Kid in you.
1. I will wear swim fins to the mall and act like everything's perfectly normal.
2. I will hand out large quantities of bubble gum to several of my friends and challenge them to a bubble-blowing contest.
3. I will spin in circles until I fall down.
4. I will jump rope with my children.
5. I will spend an afternoon in the children's department of my local library reading books I loved as a kid.
6. I will show up at a party with a gallon of ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate syrup and sprinkles, and announce, "Sundaes for everybody!"
7. I will quack like a duck at least three different times during a day of my choice.
8. I will buy a 1,000-piece puzzle, remove one piece and give the puzzle to someone who absolutely loves puzzles (and hates missing pieces). I will later 'fess up-and give them the missing piece.
9. I will spend an afternoon with a friend making snow angels (or sand angels).
10. I will carry an opened umbrella on a very sunny day.
11. I will go to McDonald's with my friends and talk everybody into ordering Happy Meals.
12. I will wear socks that don't match.
13. I will belt out opera tunes randomly, and when someone asks me what I'm doing, I'll say: "Rehearsing, what does it sound like I'm doing?"
14. I will purchase 10 decks of cards for the sole purpose of making the world's largest card castle.
15. I will smile for no real good reason at all-except that it just makes me feel good.
Thanks for playing along. Bark at ya next month.
