This year, however, I've decided to make one resolution. One simple, but very difficult resolution. I've decided that for 2007 I will not purchase any magazines.
Since I had no resolutions in 2006 to keep my mind over-occuppied, I had some time to ponder my life. I realized that I'm addicted to magazines - news, celebrity, decorating, food, health - all magazines. I've come to understand that in addition to being expensive, they are clutter. They clutter not only my home; but more seriously, they clutter my mind, heart and spirit.
The information in them purports to offer the secrets to the perfect life, but they only leave me with great dissatisfaction and discontent.
As I can't make a trip through the grocery line without buying some publication or another, this is going to be a hard resolution to keep. But if I'm able to limit the inflow of articles, I believe I will find a bit of peace. I'm going to rely on a more reliable Publication to guide my path.

I like that resolution. I approve.
I understand how collecting useless bits of data that seem so important can really clutter up one's mind. Sometimes I wish I could go through my brain and delete everything I didn't want. I will be praying that you can resist the temptation in the grocery check-out line.
Happy New Year, Barb!
