New Year's resolutions

I am going to refer to advice from one of my favorite tv shows - CBS Sunday Morning. Does it sound like all I'm doing during vacation is watch tv?

Nancy Giles is a commentator with a light touch. She was talking about making resolutions and she said she hated "goals." So she looked around for some advice and found it from Leroy "Satchel" Paige, the greatest pitcher in the history of the Negro Leagues. He also played in the Major Leagues for Cleveland, St. Louis and Kansas City and coached the Atlanta Braves. He wound up in the Baseball Hall of Fame with an amazing record and an amazingly long career.

Here's what Paige said, among many other memorable things:
"You win a few, you lose a few. Some get rained out. But you got to dress for all of them."

Isn't that great advice for those of us who show up every day?

Now for some great ideas from Paige about living a better life in 2009!

"Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like nobody's watching."

Happy New Year everyone!
