This work has reached the exceptional level

I enjoyed reading about your New Year's Resolution. It sounds like you have a good game plan. You have some definite goals in mind. I'm told that identifying specific steps is very helpful when it comes to achieving goals. It sounds like you have this area covered. You do have a very gifted writing style. I looked up the two songs you mentioned and listened to them. Bill Anderson's song was funny and very relatable. Merle Haggard's song was relatable as well and thought-provoking. Best wishes!

    THANK YOU. And you even took the time to listen to the songs and understand where I'm coming from!

Life is typically made better when we are willing to help tote someone else's monkey -- knowing that we need help with our own. Good piece, well written and seemingly heartfelt. Happy New Year and good luck in the contest. You have my vote. ann

I think this is the best way to start a new year-one day at a time. I myself am the caregiver to a family member with dementia, so I know how you feel. However, once you remain grounded on a spiritual level, the burden will be lightened somewhat.

All the best in the contest and for 2022.

    Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and understanding. One Day At A Time has always been one of my favorite songs. It is only recently that it's full meaning has been shown to me.

That's a very good resolution and I can see why you are going to need it to face your challenges. It is never easy to watch a loved one lose the memories of all they once held dear. I wish you the best in the coming year. Good luck in the contest too.

You did a good job with your contest entry, Mystery Author. I like the way you correlated it with the two songs. I like how you changed from one to the current one because of the circumstances of your loved one's health. Your lines read well with good imagery.
Best wishes in the contest.
Respectfully, Jan
