resolutions

I recently read the quote below while reading about Christmas. As I read the list below, I thought these would make good resolutions and so here they are...

"This [year], mend a quarrel. 
Seek out a forgotten friend. 
Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust. 
Write a letter. 
Give a soft answer. 
Encourage youth. 
Manifest your loyalty in word and deed. 
Keep a promise. 
Forgo a grudge. 
Forgive an enemy. 
Apologize. 
Try to understand. 
Examine your demands on others. 
Think first of someone else. 
Be kind. 
Be gentle. 
Laugh a little more. 
Express your gratitude. 
Welcome a stranger. 
Gladden the heart of a child. 
Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth. 
Speak your love and then speak it again."
