The New Year is now in full swing. The decorations are just now coming down and the house is looking empty after all the Holiday stuff is put away. The weather has been nice with a few breezy evenings. I am also getting ready for the January Birthdays...again....
I know many people pick New Year's Day as the starting point to begin their resolutions...whether it be to get healthier by stopping a bad habit, beginning new, healthy habits, making commitments to the community or family, giving back by volunteering, keeping things in order, changing careers, etc... One of the obstacles I see people having (myself included) is that they are not receiving support from friends, family or co-workers.
Okay people, if the person you know trying to do something to improve themselves it does NOT mean they will stop being your friend. Do you feel guilty or jealous because you are not doing something or is it because you are currently practicing the bad habit they are trying to change?
I'm not going to keep rambling about this, just enough to say: If you are a friend and the person you know is attempting to keep a resolution, what is the harm in you supporting them. Wouldn't that make you a better a friend? Wouldn't it make your friendship better?
For all of you trying to start or in the process of keeping your resolutions: Find support if you don't have it readily available and let your friends know that their support would be appreciated.
Peace!
