NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION

I haven’t made any New Year’s resolutions in years, because I know I won’t keep them. But I got a scare yesterday and this year I WILL make and KEEP one. I ended up in the emergency room, after experiencing some confusion and memory loss. As a senior citizen, I feared a mini-stroke. And so I called 911. I assumed I might face a few days stay in the hospital. Thus, I grabbed a small suitcase and quickly filled it with a bathrobe, toothbrush, and a few other essentials including my portable computer –no sense wasting time at the hospital as I had work to do on www.FunnyPhotosContest.com
for cute or funny photos and photo captions. But after a few hours they sent me home. They couldn’t find anything and simply advised me to make a follow-up appointment in three months.

So what’s my resolution? The hospital visit frightened me. As a result, I will take better care of myself. I will STOP staying up until 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning playing FreeCell on my computer. If I slept late in the day, I could continue this foolish pastime. But when the sun rises I wake up and can’t fall back to sleep. Perhaps there’s no connection but certainly a lack of sleep is not doing my health any good.
