My one and only resolution this year is to be a better driver. Drive more slowly, leave more room between myself and the person in front of me, not feel like I have to test the limits of my car's pickup, cornering abilities or suspension.

I realize that it will mean fewer of the joyous whoops from my children who love going fastfastfast, but it will also mean that my dashboard will stay clean and footprint-free, and that the Jesus handle next to the passenger seat will stay attached.

If you see me driving around in the little silver MaryMobile and I'm going too fast, feel free to honk, gesture, moon me, whatever you do to get my attention. I'll slow down.

I think it's a pretty good one.
