How about fall resolutions?

(After 9 months of not keeping the New Year's ones)
Give up complaining -- focus on gratitude.
Give up pessimism -- become an optimist.
Give up harsh judgments -- think kind words.
Give up worry -- trust divine providence.
Give up discouragement -- be full of hope.
Give up bitterness -- turn to forgiveness.
Give up hatred -- return good for evil.
Give up negativism -- be positive.
Give up anger -- practice patience.
Give up pettiness -- put on maturity.
Give up jealousy -- pray for trust.
Give up gossiping -- control your tongue.
Give up sin -- turn to virtue.
Give up gloom -- enjoy the beauty that is all around you.

Thought for the day:
All of us could take a lesson from the weather -- it pays no attention to criticism.
