Like the resolutions but doubt if I could keep to them throughout the year - well writ B.
Hmm would I need about 23 hours a day to do all them resolutions?! Good write again Brian. And yes - a facial expression of superiority - and smugness!
My first language is English, but I enjoy writing poetry in French. Can I still do the last one?
Also: TRUMPISM!!! 🤣
Very good on your last set of words and origins! Learn something new everyday! I like your 7 resolutions for next year, but it is time consuming. It's worth a try! Have a great New Year! Christina
