I vow to not kill any hobos this year. Well, that's my plan anyway.

I don't make resolutions. If I want to change something, I just do it. It's not one day a year...then you're just mad at yourself for not doing what you said you'd do (clean my closet, lose 10 pounds...)

Every year, for me, it's the same thing, and I always keep to it because it's easy to do: I remember to acknowledge someone who has gone above and beyond typical duties in service to others. For example: waiter was great. Waiter's boss will get a comment card on waiter's behalf. Simple, easy, and it means a lot to waiter. I know how good it makes me feel when I get such compliments from students.
