It is a very popular trend for people to start New Year's resolutions during this time of year. While setting goals to better yourself is a great idea, New Year's resolutions are not worthy of your time. You can easily look up some statistics on how many people actually stick to their resolutions. It's a very small percentage. Most resolutions are broken by February. Why? I believe it's because the goals are set with the subconscious intention of being broken. The words "New Year" are tied to a specific part of the calendar; January. So, by setting a New Year's goal you are setting yourself up to focus on the goal during the new part of the year. But what about the rest of the year? Also, think about what kind of message you are sending yourself by saying, "I'll start that on January 1st." If you know you want to do something, why not start right away?

While waiting for my citation, which was written on a legit arrest report, I read as much as I could from the intake report that sat on the other side of the glass.

Things To Do  wake up be awesome change the world change my underwear change my sheets change my socks change my hairstyle change my mind There are many things I can change, but the world is not one of them. 

I never understood why some parents are excited for their children to grow up and move out. I wish my kids would stay with me forever. I have known them since they were too small to see. I know them better than anyone in this world. For years, it was my job to look out for them, take care of them, and teach them how to be men. I gave them my heart so deeply that every moment they are away from me rips my soul apart. So when someone tells me to "let go already" or "don't worry, he's an adult now" it makes me cringe. How can I ever stop worrying about people that I love so much?
