New Year's Resolutions, the DOABLE kind

Big Frank has in the past always made some New Year's resolutions. Usually they have centered on the usual list: weight, exercise, increase this, decrease that, add this, eliminate that . . . you know the usual kind. So THIS YEAR Big Frank was thinking - why not think off the list, as it were. Nothing to do with elimination - no emetics, thank you. And no painful additions of the kind that even though it hurts to do it (you know like eating brussel sprouts, or running 10 miles every morning before 6:00 am) it in some is believed to be good for you. No, nothing of the sort this year. This year it's all about making me happy by doing more of those things that I already enjoy. Typically New Year's resolutions involve an attempt to not do something. Not this list - it's all about doing. So Big Frank suggests that as an approach to making resolutions this year - do more of what already makes you happy. What are Big Frank's? I suppose that anything over 7 would be approaching a top ten thing, and that is too derivative so only seven (for now):

1. Spend more time with more people (Big Frank likes people)
2. Spend more time outdoors in the fresh air (starting tonight with night snowshoe trek)
3. Say what you think (Big Frank likes speaking his mind and he thinks a lots so this is good)
4. Be happy (Abe Lincoln says that all you have to do is decide to be this and it happens - we shall see!)
5. Travel more (OK, Big Frank already travels a huge amount, but he likes it so . . . MORE)
6. Write more (Poetry, interviews, and blog ---- you all have been forewarned)
7. Sleep more/Dream more/ (Who doesn't like sleeping and dreaming?)

Now this will be a New Year to look forward to; feel free to share your resolutions with Big Frank.
