It may not be as common as losing weight or paying off bills, but the resolution to spend more time with the family is a common theme for many.

I think of the Chinese New Year as another crack at New Year's resolutions for those who procrastinate. This includes all of us because after all, we all put something off.

I'm certain I can't be the only one who finds themselves looking at the listless strawberries (can fruit be listless?) in the grocery store and longing for spring and summer.

When a person is doing just what they were meant to do, it's no longer a job - it becomes a passion that doesn't burn out or diminish but grows with time.
