That I will try to be a better person in 2025
That I will try not to call out the ignorance and selfishness of people
That I will try not to dwell on the bigotry and racism of sanctimonious people who cloak themselves in piety and patriotism
That I will strive to rein in my own numerous shortcomings, especially my sarcasm, dogmatic opinions and salty language
That I will do my best not to say “told you so” when the “sh*t hits the fan” during the second Trump presidency (Oops, there I go, sorry)
That I will try to be more charitable and not blurt out the truth when confronted with lies and disingenuous statements
That I will “cowboy up” and give credit if the MAGA crowd does something good, even if it is inadvertent
That I will try to remember that true loyalty and unconditional love is a canine quality, not a human one
That I will try, when possible, to adopt the Southern phrase of “bless your heart” when disappointed with people
That I will practice shutting up, starting now.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
A great list. G
Good luck fulfilling it, Panch!
