I am taken aback every time I see video clips that are "funny" because others hurt themselves. What is funny about someone crashing through a glass door, falling off a trampoline or getting laughed at for a mistake they made?

Is humor funny if it is at someone else's expense? I try imagining how embarrassed they will be when they realize they are the latest social media joke. How do you tell someone that the world really has not been laughing at them?

New year resolutions often do not last. Gyms have promotions because there is a large percentage of total profit from those that won't ever show, at least not for more than a few days. For this upcoming year, before making anything public, consider how you would feel if it were you. Wishing you all a year of health and happiness.
