Humbug New Year’s
On the television, the ball in Time’s Square dropped. “Happy New Year,” the crowd shouted. I gulped my wine, not a fan of champagne, and shut the TV. After all, I detested New Year’s Eve. It’s a lonely holiday for some, myself included, and I’d rather get drunk on wine in the comfort of my own home, warm by the fire.
Tired, I took off my robe, climbed into bed and turned off the lamp. I told myself, tomorrow would be just another day.
Instead of spending the first day of the new year relaxing, I typed my resignation letter.

New Year's Resolutions
A new year. Time to make new, exciting changes.
Shall I spend more time writing, or perhaps make time to relax with a cup of coffee next to the warmth of the fireplace with a good book. I could clean out the basement and get rid of old Christmas ornaments I never use. How about jogging or enrolling in a paint class. Joining a book club could be fun. I would love to discuss “To Kill A Mockingbird.” Skydiving, snorkeling, traveling the world. Maybe.
Or maybe this is all wishful thinking, since I only have a short time to
live.
