Off to a Great Start!
As I peruse the articles for this month's GNT, I'm convinced that this is our best issue yet! We have so many things to help you get your new year off to a great start. Bob Sawville and Mike Hoppe discuss how to improve relationships at home and at work. Vera Knight gives an alternative to dieting... changing your eating habits. Beth Hoover warms up the pages with several delicious soups for these chilly January nights. And our cover story brings awareness to "the other" addictions.
That's right. We're not talking about alcohol, drugs, or pornography. Our feature story brings awareness to other addictions that many of us have...such things as the internet (ebay, myspace, youtube), email, coffee drinks, and prescription drugs. And then the piece, "Finding Freedom" showcases an organization called "Celebrate Recovery" which helps people find healing from hurts, habits, and hang-ups.
Since our cover story mentions the internet addiction, I thought it would be apropos to close with this entertaining list of computer resolutions:
Computer New Year's Resolutions
Anonymous
1. I will try to figure out why I "really" need 12 e-mail addresses.
2. I will stop sending e-mail to my husband (wife). A phone call every now and then would be appreciated.
3. I resolve to work with neglected children -- my own.
4. I will answer my snail mail with the same enthusiasm with which I answer my e-mail.
5. I resolve to back up my 12 GB hard drive daily... well, once a week... okay, monthly then... or maybe... at least once a year.
6. I will spend less than one hour a day on the Internet. This, of course, will be hard to estimate since I'm not a clock watcher.
7. I will stop checking my e-mail at 3:00 in the morning... 4:30 is much more practical since my friends overseas already had time to answer me by then.
8. When I hear a funny joke I will not reply, "LOL... LOL!"
9. I will think of a password other than "password."
10. I resolve... I resolve to... I resolve to, uh... I resolve to, uh, get my, er... I resolve to, uh, get my, er, off-line work done, too!
Happy New Year!
