Despite the migraine I have been trying to decide whether or not to make some New Year resolutions. Do I need to? I ask myself. But, lacking concentration due to 'brain pain' I don't seem to get an answer and I still haven't made any decision but at least I have another twenty four hours in which to do so.
In the past I have either played safe by making none at all, or I have only made 'weak' ones that I wouldn't have broken anyway. Sometimes I wonder how many people actually make one or two and how long is it before they break them, so perhaps I should really go for it for 2011.
The biggest success I have had was not a New Year's resolution but a snap decision I made when I had decided on the date I would retire. I knew I wouldn't be able to afford to smoke once I did retire so I made an appointment to see the nurse at the surgery and after smoking on and off (more on than off) for forty or so years, I gave it up. What surprised me was how quickly I managed it too but that was mainly down to the fact that the patches kept sliding off because the weather was so warm so I only used them for about four weeks. I did use the lozenges too but again, not for long because I decided to use ordinary sugar free chewing gum instead so I am now hooked on that! Chewing the gum does have it's advantages such as keeping gums and teeth healthy and strengthening the jaw but the disadvantage is that the sweeteners used can have a laxative effect too!
