New Year's Resolution

So, it's that time of year again, when inevitably, some one will ask about your New Year's Resolution. In years past, it would have been the typical - lose weight, get fit, save money, yada, yada, yada. But this year, I have decided to BE HAPPY. Seriously, that is my New Year's Resolution. To just be happy. Everyday. No excuses. Now, please mind that I am not talking about making any radical changes in my life, just adjusting my attitude. Life will always offer up challenges and injustices. It's how I CHOOSE to respond that will ultimately define me and my personal happiness.

Caveat Emptor

In what world is someone considered to be an expert when they have absolutely no firsthand experience of the subject matter in which they claim an expertise?? It's a rhetorical question, of course, with a heavy dose of sarcasm, but unfortunately this type of expertise is sold to us, the public, all the time.
