           The new season is a great reason to make and keep resolutions. Whether it’s eating right or cleaning out the garage, here are some tips for making and keeping resolutions.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      
           Make a list
          &#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
      
           Lists are great ways to stay on track. Write down some big things you want to accomplish and some smaller things, too.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      
           Check the list regularly
          &#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
      
           Don’t forget to check in and see how you’re doing. Just because you don’t achieve the big goals right away doesn’t mean you’re not making progress.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      
           Reward yourself
          &#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
      
           When you succeed in achieving a goal, be it a big one or a small one, make sure to pat yourself on the back.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      
           Think positively
          &#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
      
           Positive thinking is a major factor in success. So instead of mulling over things that didn’t go quite right, remind yourself of things that did.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;

           Where outdoor amenities and smiles are abundant.  Visit us here in the City of Two Rivers, with miles of trails to explore and 7 bridges spanning the way from here to there.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           It’s not easy to describe, this community’s sense of pride and unity. The way our residents value service, to help neighbors, to donate time in many selfless acts that seem almost automatic and instinctive. Our volunteers span generations and bridge them.
