Resolutions are fine and good, I guess, but as so many know, they seem to slip and slide into the haze as the days pass and other more important things rise to the surface to grab our attention.

Such as resentments. Oh, those great inventions of the mind and heart! We can invent hundreds of them, and as we age, resentments can get longer, deeper and placed on more people and events.

Just think of the folks we can resent. People have hurt our feelings and cheated us. People have stolen valued possessions, our hearts and then left us ... and sometimes they have even stolen our loved one. This is reason to hold terrible grudges and think awful thoughts about somebody for years and years.
