The best medicine

I’m not entirely sure who “they” is, but I’ve been told for most of my life that “they say laughter is the best medicine.”

Well, after two years of seemingly never-ending coronavirus developments, supply chain annoyingness and all the general uncomfortableness that's come along with the pandemic, it’s clear we could all use a good laugh as we mosey on into 2022 with a (hopefully) clean slate.

And, quite frankly, as a member of the media, I am all about taking it easy these last couple weeks of the year.

Therefore, I present this list of completely unoriginal (thank you for compiling these, Team Scary Mommy) but funny (to some) New Year’s resolutions for you to consider forgetting about by mid-January:

• Live my best life and only buy pants with no buttons or zippers.
• Cultivate the confidence of Kanye without the tone-deafness of Kanye.
• Go vegan for six months before inevitably giving up.
• Buy all of the leftover 2021 calendars … and burn them.
• Go outside. Among people.
• Refuse to acknowledge the entirety of 2021 during social gatherings.
• Unfriend every person who shares their unsolicited diet or exercise advice.
• Keep kicking ass and taking names because detailed record keeping is important!
• Read more … or at least turn the subtitles on while binging old "King of the Hill" episodes for the 57th time.
• Stop daring people to lick frozen flagpoles.
• Actually put on pants for all Zoom calls.
• I will drink more. Benjamin Franklin seems to have said that beer is proof of God’s love.

Here’s to a profitable and yield-filled 2022 to you and your businesses! Let’s keep all this momentum rolling in the right direction …
