Even Woody Guthrie had New Year’s Resolutions

We’re big on setting New Year’s Resolutions and sharing them with each other, but we sometimes forget that our role models also did the same thing.  Here are Woody Guthrie’s top 10 New Year’s Resolutions from 1943:

  1. Work more and better
  2. Work by a schedule
  3. Wash teeth if any
  4. Shave
  5. Take bath
  6. Eat good – fruit – vegetables – milk
  7. Drink very scant if any
  8. Write a song a day
  9. Wear clean clothes – look good
  10. Shine shoes

He made 33 resolutions in all, you can read the rest here.  We’d like to think that Woody would be an active user of 43 Things, were he alive today.
