Show Page Six - The Springville Herald - December 29, 1980 . TS- -v. ' Larry Fleenor, Debi Jenkins it makes cents By Vi Judge Dear Readers: Someone has defined New Year's resolutions as goals we set for ourselves and fail to keep. Since failure, however small, chips at that important self image, why make resolutions at all if they are to only be pursued briefly, then dropped? No resolutions is not the answer, of course. The answer is to make resolutions we can and will keep. We can do this by avoiding vague resolutions (I will be a better parent, a better housekeeper, a better wife, more compassionate, thrifty, charitable, cheerful, etc.) in favor of short-term specific goals such as "I will spend at least a half-hour a week ALONE with each of my children," "I will make my bed and pick up my room before leaving it each morning." "I will get up a half-hour earlier and put on my makeup and a happy smile for my husband," "I will visit my aunt in the nursing home the first Monday of every month." "I will find a way to save at least-dollars aweek by cooking from scratch," etc. The blessing of these specific goals is that they lead up, slowly, perhaps, but surely to the, higher long-term long-term goals. Another blessing is that they become habitual after awhile and then we can go on to some more good specifics that will make our lives happier and more productive. As soon as making one's bed and straightening the room before leaving becomes a fixed habit, doing the dishes promptly, or some other specific goal toward better housekeeping can be pursued. In stead of resolving to be more compassionate, to take another example, you might select twelve specific acts of kindness you've thought of doing but procrastinated, one for each month in the next year. If each were written down on one of your do-it daily cards or on your calendar as a reminder, tyou'd probably get most of them done and then wouldn't your self-image soar. By pursuing such specifics in areas where you want to improve, you'll surprise yourself and exceed your own expectations. A happy, satisfying New Year to each and every one of you. With love, Vi Dear Vi : Dishes are done faster if, while preparing a meal, you drop the dirty pots and pans, etc., into a sinkful of suds to soak until you have a minute or two to wash them. By doing this, most of your preparation dishes are done before you sit down to eat so that you have only those used at the table to wash after the meal. I alphabetize my spices. That way I know just ; where they are when I want them. Looking for something to keep your necklaces from tangling? Get a fabric bolt end from a fabric store. (The shorter cardboard pieces work better.) Cover with fabric of your choice and decorate as desired. Stick pins into the cardboard for hanging necklaces. No more tangles. My neighbor uses her luggage , overnight case tray in her bathroom drawer. With all , the sections, it works nicely. ; Jennette Nielsen, Rexburg, Idaho. Thank you Jennette. Those are all useful ', suggestions. I especially like the one about the overnight case tray in the bathroom drawer. It seems : to me this would be especially handy when packing ' for a trip. Just pick up the tray and there you have all of your grooming needs ready to go. Dear Vi: The straps on my little boy's jump suu kept slipping off his shoulders, so I put circles of masking tape, rolled sticky side out, on the undersides un-dersides of the straps. These stick to the suit and the straps stay in place. Dianne Wilcox, Sandy, Utah ; It is better for a woman ; to marry a man who loves her than a man she loves, husband.
