I suppose it has been about 50 years since I made my first New Year's Resolutions. My resolutions have always been to treat others nicer, to be more helpful, to think more about consideration for them; instead of me. It never works out for me because I spend the entire year taking care of everyone but me;just to keep my New Year's resolutions. I made those resolutions t because I have always felt taking care of other's is my responsibility;especially family, friends and those in need. I have always been one of those "Bleeding Hearts" you hear about that gives away their,"Last dime,shirt off my back, and all that "put others first" resolutions. For example, three years ago, when I was employed, I gave away my last paycheck of the month to those who were unemployed. Two years ago I got laid off so my resolution was to give aways things I have that others need such as clothes, buy one get one free items, and to make things for others birthdays. In years past I have always been a giver; so one year about 5 years ago I chose to make a resolutions to clean all the liter up once a month on 12 different streets.Who gives to food to me if I do not have any, who puts me first in this life?
