in 2012 it's just one decision!

By BECKY WEBER-JOHNSON Saturday, December 31, 2011 - 8:40 a.m.

I have been thinking about setting some goals / resolutions (thanks Steve Knox!) and really, it all boils down to this:

I think if you think the world owes you something, you will always be disappointed. But if you believe you owe the world something, well then, you will never be let down.

I know I owe the world to try and make it a better place. Any other goal falls under this one. What are you changing in 2012?

She volunteers at her church, with the Optimist club and SpotLight On Kids. Becky is a community blogger and her opinion is not necessarily that of the The Gazette staff or management.

I'm used to being disappointed, why should I change now?

Where's my winning lottery ticket?

Where's that Colorado lawyer who's trying to track me down about my great-great-uncle's gold mine inheritance?

Where's that hot-looking rich babe who fell in love with me at first sight and has been trying to track me down for months?
