AUSTIN - State Comptroller
John Sharp predicted that retail
sales across Texas this holiday
season will run about 7 percent
higher than last year.

Time to reflect, and look forward
Dear Readers: If some lines in
today's column sound vaguely
familiar, you have a good memory.
They appeared in this space last
year. Not much about New Year's
Day has changed, so thank you lor
allowing me to loaf a little.
Make this coming year better
than all the others. Vow to do some
things you’ve always wanted to do
but "couldn’t find the time."
Call up a neglected friend. Drop
an old grudge, and replace it with
some pleasant memories. Share a
funny story with someone whose
spirits are dragging. A good laugh
can be better than any medicine.
Vow not to make a promise you
don’t think you can keep. Pay a
debt. Give a soft answer. Free your-
self of envy and malice.
Encourage some youth to do his
or her best. Share your experience
and offer support. Young people
need role models more than they
need critics.
Make a genuine effort to stay in
closer touch with family and
friends. Resolve to stop magnifying
small problems and shooting from
the lip. Words that you have to eat
have no nutritional value and can
be hard to digest.
Find lime to be kind and
thoughtful. All of us have the same
allouncnt-24 hours a day. Give a
compliment. It could provide
someone with a badly needed lift.
Think things through. Forgive an
injustice. Listen more. Be kind.
Apologize when you realize you
are wrong. An apology never
diminishes a person. It elevates
him. Don’t blow your own horn. If
you’ve done something praisewor-
thy, someone will notice eventual-
ly.

Try lo undcriiand a point of view
that is different from your own.
Few things are 100 percent one
way or another. Examine the
demands you make on others, and
lighten up.
When you feel your temper
reaching the boiling point, ask
yourself, "Will it matter a week
from today?" Laugh the loudest
when the joke is on you.
The sure way to have a friend is
to be one. We are all connected by
our humanity, and we need each
other. Avoid malcontents and pes-
simists. They drag you down and
contribute nothing.
Don’t discourage a beginner
from trying something risky. Noth-
ing ventured means nothing gained.
Be optimistic. The can-do spirit-is
the fuel that makes things go.
Go to war against animosity and
complacency. Express your
gratitude. Give credit when jt's
due-and even when it isn’t. It will
make you look good.
Read something uplifting. Deep-
six the trash. You wouldn’t eat gar-
bage, why put it in your head?
Don't abandon your old-fashioned
principles. They never go out of
style. When courage is needed, ask
yourself, "If not me, who? If not
now, when?"
Take better cere of yourself.
Remember, you’re all you’ve got
Pass up that second helping. You
don’t need it Vow to eat more sen-
sibly. You’ll feel better and look
better, too.
Don’t put up wiih secondhand
smoke. Nobody has the right to
pollute your air or give you cancer.
If someone says, T'This is a free
country," remind him or her that
the country may be free, but no per-
son is free if he has a habit he can't
control.
Return those bodes you bor-
rowed. Reschedule that missed
dental appointment. Dean out your
closet.
Take those photos out of the
drawer, and put them in an album.
If you see litter on the sidewalk,
pick it up instead of walking over
it.

Give yourself a reality check.
Phoniness is transparent, and it is
tiresome. Take pleasure in the
beauty and the wonders of nature.
A flower is God’s miracle.
Walk tall, and smile more.
You'll look 10 years younger.
Don’t be afraid to say, "I love you."
Say it again. They are the sweetest
words in the world. If you have
love in your life, this new year can
be the best one ever.

sumer confidence," Sharp said.
And what did shoppers spend
their money on this holiday season?
According to Sharp, many retailers
say they sold more big-ticket items,
and toys, of course. The hottest
toys were Power Rangers, Lion
King merchandise, and the peren-
nial favorites, Barbie dolls and Hot
Wheels cars.
"Since the shopping season offi-
cially began the day after
Thanksgiving, we’ve been in touch
with retailers, mail managers,
check clearinghouses and credit
card companies. They all say sales
are better than last Christmas."
For example, a survey of 17
major retailers across the state
shows that cumulative sales are
averaging about 6.2 percent ahead
of last year.
The comptroller's office also
surveyed 37 shopping malls, no
both large and small Texas cities.
Mall managers report an average
mall-wide sales increase of 2.7 per-
cent. Mall managers and individual
retailers say the economy is more
stable and consumers seem more
inclined to spend.
Apparently, a lot of people are
choosing to buy now and pay later.
Mastercard reports a 30 percent
nationwide increase in sales
authorizations for the period be-
tween Nov. 25 and Dec. 9. This
doesn’t necessarily mean shoppers
are buying more. People arc using
their credit cards more-they are
even buying groceries with credit
cards now.
