As important as it is to try to keep resolutions, sometimes you need to <EM>give up</EM> a resolution.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.happiness-project.com/happiness_project/2009/10/a-secret-to-happiness-dont-try-to-keep-that-resolution.html"><P>Sometimes, too, I think a resolution can block you.
