• It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favour of vegetarianism, while the wolf remains of a different opinion.
  ---W.R. (William Ralph) Inge (1860–1954), British Dean of St. Paul’s, London, 1915

Books that help you KEEP your New Years Resolution or Resolutions depending on how determined you are.

Start that book, short story, poem or autobiography, you have always dreamed of writing. The next step is to look up in the Writer’s Market how to submit your manuscript. It lists the type of material publishers are looking for. Cross your fingers and lick the stamp!

Select a few titles that sound interesting, check them out at your local library, go home and start to read. Have a special time each night to read to your children. This is a New Years Resolution you should have made, if you haven’t it is NOT too late.

A Garden of Wildflowers by H. W. Art
Look out your window and start planning your wildflower garden. When spring does come, just grab your hoe and start planting. Native wildflowers are a part of our natural heritage. This book will provide you with the background information you will need. If you check it out now, you will have plenty of time to plan your wildflower garden.

Made for the Shade by J. Glattstein
If your yard is shady and you have difficulty in finding plants that will grow with limited sunshine, give this book a look. Not only does it have beautiful illustrations, but has information on trees, shrubs, perennials, bulbs, vines, annuals and it gives ideas for combining these to create a beautiful garden.

The library has books on self-esteem, woodworking, health and beauty, exercise and much, much more. I have just listed a few to give you ideas and hopefully inspiration to keep those New Years Resolutions.

Do something for yourself.
