Question#14

Hello everyone! Christmas is only 3 days away, have you done all your shopping? I hope so. In the meanwhile, enjoy today’s subject! Yesterday marked the official start of winter , our coldest season to endure. This is a time where we are hit with cold to freezing rain, snow, icy roads, wind chill factors and many other variants of displeasure. As a kid you have the snowball fights, snow days  away from school and  particularly for the boys, football in the snow. This is definitely a unique time of the year for all. This is also a period of time when the most relationships and babies are conceived. I think this is a direct result of  not being able to get out as much as people normally do during the other seasons. There is also a stigma out there that many believe people get together in the winter and break up in the spring. SMH. They say these people get together because its cold and you need someone to be “cuddled up” with to keep you warm during this cold season. Then, when its warm you no longer have the need for that person to keep you warm. SMH While I find this concept juvenile albeit funny at the same time, it is reality for some and happening as I write this post. This is truly the season of feelings LOL.  So my question for you guys today is, “Have you ever been in a  winter until spring relationship?”  As always comments are appreciated.

Question #8

Hello everyone! How are y’all? Yeah, yeah, I know. The weekend was short and cold if you live in the northeast and it’s Gloomy Monday. Nevertheless, I hope you all enjoyed your weekend and are at least enthusiastic about seeing my next post. Today I’m going to talk about  New Year’s resolutions. As we wind down the year known as 2009, its that time of the year of again.  Time to break out the champagne or liquor for those who have a bit of  “social drinker” within. Time to get snazzy for that party you’re going to or to that religious gathering you’ll be at or in  some cases time to party in Times Square freezing your butt of  and risking frostbite at the same time. The time in which we say, “out with the old and in with the new”.  The time when after we’ve reflected on the the past 12 months and we’re wondering what lies ahead in a mysterious futures. Some of us are coming into the new year single and others are beginning yet another year into a relationship. Some have lost their jobs in the past year and vice versa. Traditionally, a lot of people are making so called “resolutions” to bring in the year in a attempt to improve themselves, whether it be in the body, soul and mind. A vast majority  keep up these oaths until somewhere around spring and then they go back to their old habits. I can admit, I too have been amongst that majority. While it is noble to go beyond your natural self and make some changes in your life for the better, it is often easier said than done. Old habits truly die hard whether it be to put the Breyers away and substitute it with low fat frozen yogurt or to put that pack of Newports away for good and replace it with gum or a patch.  Life can simply overwhelm ones self at times depending on your level of  stress tolerance and sometimes one just has to have some sort of getaway to cope.  Others are simply great at starting things and have a hard time keeping up the trend. Such is life.Considering these factors, why do you think it is so hard to  for people to keep their New Years Resolutions throughout the year?  As always, comments are deeply appreciated.
