Rachel Roper (Highways):

“One of my New Year’s resolutions is a continuation from previous years. In 2016, my goal was to eventually be able to do 50 full pushups (not modifi ed). It’s been slow progress. In 2016, I got to 7; in 2017 to 15; and in 2018 to 20. But in 2019, I fractured my rib and lost progress. In 2020, I got back up to 20. So in 2021, my resolution is to be able to do 30 pushups.

To help reduce eye strain and improve healthy habits, my resolution is to be more diligent about practicing the 20-20-20 rule for computer use. (Look away from the computer for 20 seconds at something 20 feet away every 20 minutes).”

Faith Caplan (Highways):

“‘Random Acts of Kindness’ -actively seek out opportunities to do something nice for strangers. Pay for coff ee, lunch etc. for the person behind you in line. Add quarters to a parking meter when the time has expired for the parked car. Hold the door open and say good morning especially during Covid. Jokingly remind people in parking lots to bring their reusable bags from their car into the store. Take the least convenient parking space (good for exercise resolution). Keep stuff handy to give away...... mask, refl ective gadgets for people and pets walking at night (in dark colors) . The opportunities are endless, the hard part is looking for them.”

Karen Awana (Administration):

“To help boost work productivity, in honor of National Clean Your Desk Day, on January 11, 2021, I will clean my work space.”
