Long ago, I made a resolution not to make resolutions. That one I've kept.

However, I do think it's good lat this time of year to take a sort of inventory of the months past, and write down the trends, attitudes and habits we want to continue cultivating, and the improvements we'd like to make, as well as the mistakes, we want to avoid. For some reason, writing things down impresses them on our minds. So if we just make a few notes of our hopes and aspirations for the coming year, it may help us in achieving our goals. At least, we may not forget so quickly. Oh, yes, I always sit up to welcome the New Year.

Don't you? I wouldn't miss the din and crowds on Times Square for anything. I've always hoped some day I could be there in the middle of It. I love crowds and I love a parade! LIKE the Apostle Paul, I was raised "very strictly." I believe I was past 13 when I watched the New Year come in for the first time. I was allowed to spend that night with my cousin Birdie, who was almost a year bider. But, we were close as sisters, and thrilled to have a night together a privilege seldom granted though we lived only blocks apart.

Birdie's mother, whose name was Helena, whom we always called Aunt Linnie, wrote poetry. After the rest of the family had gone to bed, she read some of her poems to Birdie and me, and we talked about days when she was young. Then about 10 o'clock she went to bed, asking us to call her at 11:30. Birdie and I talked about things that young girls always talk about--romance, the boys we know, the ones we liked best. AROUT 11:30 we called Aunt Linnie and she came into the kitchen and stirred up a batch of Danish pancakes and brewed a pot of tea.
