It's the new year, 2008

Dear Friends,

It's a new year, and my resolution is to be more faithful at writing on my blog. I didn't realize how many people were reading these missives. Hopefully, I'll be able to keep this resolution. Aren't resolutions funny? I mean those resolution lists always seem to look the same -yes, even the ones in your head. I think this is typical:
(1) lose weight
(2) stop smoking
(3) spend more time with my kid(s) or spouse
(4) manage stress
(5) get organized

However, wouldn't it be more productive and much more fun to have these kinds of resolutions:
(1) eat superior chocolate
(2) laugh at one joke a day
(3) really focus on something beautiful that crosses your path each day
(4) blow your top once in a while just because you feel better afterwards
(5) go out of your way to do something nice or unexpected for someone else

Now, don't those resolutions make a lot more sense? They certainly do to me. I've already done 1,2,3 & 5 today. And it was much, much better than any of those other resolutions. I also have an x-rated list of resolutions, and I didn't list them as I wouldn't want to offend anyone...................but, if you want to know, just have to know, you can email me privately.

I guess I'll close with the traditional Happy New Year. If there's one thing I do absolutely know, it's that there's not way to predict what will happen in the next 365 days. Might as well go along for the ride and get as much pleasure out of the journey as possible.
