Laughing at your wife’s resolutions

Despite being an intelligent woman, very proud, Carol subscribes to motivational nonsense. She reads Paul Coelho books. She is buys into the prosperity gospel, and can be touchy if you point out the obvious contradictions of a gospel that promotes crass materialism, when Jesus warned that a camel would sooner pass through a needle's eye than a rich man make it to heaven.

So, when you stumble upon where she has written her resolutions, it reads like a comedy script. You know Carol in and out. Even at her age, you wonder why on earth she bothers with resolutions that she will never memorize, much less keep.
