I have a few resolutions for my blogging habits in this new year:

• I resolve to spend more time talking about my present views instead of complaining about my past. The last couple of years have been a time for critique of where I had been. I was angry at my past. I’m not any more. It is time to move on.


• I resolve to spend more time listening and understanding. Working out my thoughts alone was good for me, but it is not healthy to stay there.


• I resolve to ask more questions. When I read back through my posts from last year I realized it looked like I was more confident than I really am. That comes more from my poor writing skills. I'm really not that confident. It takes a great writer to be transparent. Unfortunately, I’m a math geek. Writing is new to me, but I hope asking more questions will soften the false confidence in my posts.


• I resolve to be more careful and tactful in my comments on other sites. I've learned that you can’t easily correct or retract comments. I've also been guilty of saying too much in places I had no business speaking.
