Rethinking the Resolutions

Thursday, January 21 2010 at 10:54am

Nearly a month into the new year, many of you are probably realizing that the plethora of resolutions you’ve committed to are slowly starting to dwindle and fade. What did you resolve to accomplish this year? Was it self-help focused such as an exercise regime, healthy eating or quitting smoking? Or maybe you were trying to broaden your horizons by picking up a new hobby, travelling more or just trying something you’ve never done before? Of course there is always the “this year I will spend less and save more” decision.
Did you know that many of your resolutions can be achieved right here in Clarksville? We are here to bolster your efforts; to keep you on the right path. So if you are Self-improvement Sally (or Steve for the men out there) and you want a place you can go to really stay fit and active, we’re your destination. Visit any number of our parks and trails, participate in an athletic event, or head on over to Land Between the Lakes for some outdoor recreation. Clarksville can open new doors and new possibilities for entertainment as well. Hobby enthusiasts will delight in the eclectic mix of extracurriculars that Clarksville boasts. Everyone from scrapbook junkies to shooting range regulars will find something of interest. Start that new hobby today.
And of course who could forget the fans of frugality, the sultans of saving, the pincers of pennies. You may be thinking that we’re just blowing smoke and coming to our city will in no way save you money. Our rebut is this: it is only January. If you are planning on staying in your house and never going out for the next 12 months you have not resolved to save money. You have resolved to become a hermit. Travel smart and visit places that are affordable yet fun. Then you can still get out and breath fresh air, without breaking the bank. Here is just a small list of all the free or inexpensive things that Clarksville has to offer. (Free in Clarksville) There is nothing wrong with spending smart - and coming to Clarksville for your next vacation is a genius move.

What is our New Year’s Resolution you wonder? Well besides continuing to be rock stars in the realm of tourism, our collective resolution is to dream big. We’re reaching for every star and determined to accomplish every goal we create. It’s all for your benefit too, of course.
