Well, we made it through last week’s parties, and we have a whole year ahead of us. How are we going to use it to our full advantage? Most people at least think about New Year’s resolutions, even if they don’t follow through with them for very long. How did you do with last year’s resolutions? Resolutions that involve or help other people are more likely to be kept than ones focusing on yourself.

First, if you are not a gardener or don’t have a vegetable garden, flower garden, or houseplants, share your copy of the “Greener View Gardening” book, or grab a friend and watch the more than 400 videos I have posted on YouTube on the A Greener View channel.
