New Decade Brings Positive Resolutions for Happy Future DEAR READERS: Welcome to 2020! The New Year has arrived, and with it our chance for a new beginning. Today we have an opportunity to discard destructive old habits for healthy new ones, and with that in mind, I will share Dear Abby’s often-requested list of New Year’s Resolutions, which were adapted by my late mother, Pauline Phillips, from the original credo of Al-Anon: JUST FOR TODAY: I will live through this day only. I will not brood about yesterday or obsess about tomorrow. I will not set far-reaching goals or try to overcome all of my problems at once. I know that I can do something for 24 hours that would overwhelm me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime. JUST FOR TODAY: I will be happy. I will not dwell on WKRXJKWVWKDWGHSUHVVPH,IP\PLQGÀOOVZLWKFORXGV,ZLOO FKDVHWKHPDZD\DQGÀOOLWZLWKVXQVKLQH JUST FOR TODAY: I will accept what is. I will face reality. I will correct those things that I can correct and accept those I cannot. JUST FOR TODAY: I will improve my mind. I will read VRPHWKLQJWKDWUHTXLUHVHIIRUWWKRXJKWDQGFRQFHQWUDWLRQ,ZLOO not be a mental loafer. JUST FOR TODAY: I will make a conscious effort to be agreeable.
