I hate New Year's resolutions.  One more list of things I can feel bad about myself for not doing - as if the scorecard I carry around in my head day in day out weren't enough.

So this year, I resolve to make some resolutions I can feel good about.

For starters, I resolve to stop being so critical of myself. That means if I fail to keep any of my other resolutions - I can't criticize myself for it.  I am sure there are plenty of other people willing to take on that job for me.  I resolve to spend less time around those people.

I will worry less about what others may think. In fact, I resolve tostop worrying so much, period. I wish I could have all the time back I spent worrying over things that never came to pass, or ultimately didn't matter.

I resolve to laugh more, and bitch less.

And lastly, I resolve to tell my diva friends how wonderful they are.  Mostly because it is true, and because none of us can hear that enough.
