I've decided long ago that making unrealistic resolutions at the beginning of the year are just another way to add on to the already stressful lives we live.  So every year I try to make some kind of change to myself,  my home or just the way I do some things.  For the last few years I've made it my business to make just one person happy.  It's one of many ways of giving back to my community.  Oh, and as far as the change to myself, ... I decided to cut off the locks I had been growing for the last 10 years. Yes, did a Angela Bassett in "Waiting to Exhale". Went into the salon and threaten to cut them myself if the stylist did not stop suggesting alternatives!    
Okay, so for the making someone happy part, this year I will be giving one lucky (maybe two) senior graduate(s) a dress to wear to her prom. There will be some requirements to be eligible.
I've learned that giving always make you a better you and the rewards are the blessings that you will receive.  Keeping in mind that blessings are not always tangible.
The title "It's a New Year and a New You" doesn't necessarily mean you must change from the person you are, it means that you will better yourself in some positive manner.  So start a new you, by helping someone less fortunate. Feed someone who is hungry.  Cloth someone who is in need. Volunteer at your community shelter.  And remember, "To much is giving, much is received"
