New Year's Resolutions-English

According to a group of British researches, January 18th will be the saddest day of the year (Blue Monday). I'm not sure who must be paying this type of studies, but anyway, it seems that next Monday will be the day when, already stressed and back in the office, we realized of our failure in most (or all) our New Year's Resolutions.

In the Ortega family, we also set up some goals for next year:

-It has been a unilateral initiative, in other words, it's me who created them.
-The response by the kids was lukewarm, at best. Guillem Jr, literally, 'went on strike' arguing that there were many more resolutions for them than for Monica and I. Guillem, my son, one day you will understand that sometimes democracy is overrated...
-Our goals are focused on less Digital time and more Spanish in the family. Below you can find the link to my presentation, that, as I mentioned before, didn't get the general acclaim...

So, how are we doing so far? I wouldn't say that we hit 100% of our goals but some progress has been done. From that perspective, next Monday won't be our most depressive day of the year. And if anybody feels blue, remember, in the USA the show must go on and the stores are already displaying the Valentine's Day merchandise to cheer everybody's hearts!
