A New Year

And with the new year always comes the "this year I will...".

Let me break some of mine down.

1. This year I will stop biting my nails. No I won't. I never do. It's extremely hard to break a 30+ year habit. Wishful thinking. Moving on.

2. I will lose weight. Almost fantasy at this point really. Although I apparently shape shift, as people insist at times I've lost weight when I've really weighed pretty much the exact same for 3 years. Next.


3. I will organize all my photos rather than leave them lying in boxes. Now this might actually happen. I just need a few hours, or really days, of quiet. Hmmm....put that way, it may not happen. I really want to get this done, so it's in the realm of possibilities for now. It gets an 85% success rating.

4. Maggie will learn all her numbers and letters and rattle them off with ease. Yowsa! This for real needs to happen!

5. I will clean the floors on a regular basis. Although, are clean floors really that important? Big picture.

6. I won't have such high expectations of people. I don't mean that to sound as bad as it does, but what it translates to is I won't take everything so personally. This is a tough one, as I take everything personally!

7. I will read the Bible daily. Now this is probably what should be #1. Surely I can make this happen.

I'll check back on my list in a couple of months and will probably laugh out loud or go "oh yeah" in my head.

The best to you in 2009 and much success on your list.
