Mid-Year Resolutions??

Today is July 1st, the 183rd day of the year 2008, with 183 days left to go.

It's a popular notion to make "New Year's Resolutions" on December 31st, the last day of the year. I'm wondering, though, if it might be a better idea to make "Mid-Year Resolutions" instead?

At this point, halfway into the year, we've had some time to get a feel for how things are going so far. It's a perfect time to reflect on what has happened in the past 6 months, get some perspective on how you've handled yourself, and focus on moving forward with 6 months that remain of 2008.

There's plenty of time left to get cracking and accomplish those goals that we all set for ourselves at the start of the year. So, take some time today, dear friends, and think about your Mid-Year Resolutions. Let's not wait until the year is over to look back, lamenting all of the coulda-shoulda-wouldas.

We've got 183 days to make some magic happen. Let's go for it.
