I think its actually gonna work. Everybody usually gives something up with their resolutions but a resolution is nothing more than a promise to yourself to do something different from the way you’ve been doing it, or better.” “So you’re not giving up watermelon this year?” “Nope. You know I hate watermelon.” “Smoking?” “Nope. Don’t smoke. Remember?” “You also don’t drink whiskey but you gave that up one year.” “I’m telling you, this year is different. I’ll give you a hint. I’m not giving anything up. I’m going to do something better.” “Wow! That leaves the field wide open. There’s so much you could improve upon.” “Gee, Thanks. Tell me again why I married you?” “My guess would be because you couldn’t find a fishing or hunting buddy that day. OK, I give.
