Looking ahead--2008

Interesting thread. For me - concentrate and stay more focused on my career, learning Spanish and building relationships with my family members (I was finally able to see all of them this year, felt great ). Travel to the DR and in general see more places, learn more about the world around me and stay safe at all times, not take responsibility for someone else's problems since I has only gotten me in trouble and did not resolve anything.

I'm too old to have resolutions. The only thing that happens, is that I get more entrenched in what I know is 'right living'. So resolutions have a lot more to do with dont's, than with do's.

Don't mess with 'anyone', then 'anyone' won't mess with you.
Don't let 'Uncle Sam' catch you! 'Uncle Sam' does not want you, he wants either your money, or your expertise, or your energy, so, make sure he does not catch you (governments suck!)
Don't become the quintessential mother .. otherwise everyone will think you're the only one capable of dishing out the 'hot cocoa' and you'll have to do it for ever and ever ....
Don't ever stop your own voice! Keep talking, even it it creaks!
Don't ever think sex is not for the mature! The young 'uns just don't know how to do it!
Don't ever stop looking/listening/drawing/painting/writing/living/cooking/walking/loving/smiling/caring ----

What to they say MaineGirl .. Next year in Jerusalem!

And the only Do!
Do Good! Love Good! Live Good!

Chris- I think your resolutions are perfect! Will it be plagarism if I adopt them as mine? I don't know you, but from what you write, I wish I did and feel I do! Thanks for being a wise woman.

I second that motion and can totally relate to her resolutions!

All these new year's resolutions are BS. We can never change our nature for a very long time. We might make some adjustments and try to improve out behavior and maybe even attempt to change our lives, but after some time, we come back to our default state.
This new year resolution is another invention of lazy bored women who have nothing to do but make more false promises to themselves.

I want to try to hit the gym more often.

But most of all, I want to spend more quality time with my two boys (ages 10 and 16).

AZB- Come on. It's the new year. New opportunities. A new day. Don't be a pessimistic sour pus. You will only make yourself miserable.

Having just completed a three day course of 7 Habits of Highly Effective people I've come to realize I haven't been in contact with my family enough.

Ok, lets see. More traveling, more colombia, less sugar and more workout? yeah, I know myself better to believe in all that.
Lets make it more realistic for myself.
More BBQs, more traveling, make more money and possibly, move to santo domingo.
now lets see what i will do to accomplish all that.
