I will become a more positive thinker this year. From now on, the glass will be half full!

My resolution is to punch anyone who asks me what my resolution was. [Big Grin]

I will not get online in the morning before work.

I will accept that I am a limited being, and not berate myself for outcomes that are less than perfect when I am doing the best I know how.

I will pause to redirect myself toward worthy long term goals at least one time each day.

I will choose my own path and not let myself become a pinball batted hither and thither by outside forces.

I will find ways to work into my posts more cool archaic words like hither and thither.

I resolve to not drink the crappy champagne that my dad buys next year. Because it was GROSS.

Other than that, I resolve to take care of my braces so I can try to shave some of this two years off...

Relax, I was just teasing you. [Wink]

That is a VERY worthy resolution. It's one that I had for a long time but couldn't quite put into words and after many years of undue stress because of my imperfections, I am MUCH better at accepting them. I really like that one ak. That's why I'm your acolyte.

Happy New Year everyone! How long will it take you to get used to writing "2004" on your checks and other important documents? It always takes me forever!

My first resolution is thusly:

To finish my thank-you notes for my Christmas gifts and send the notes on Monday, January 5th. That is an easy one, and has quick gratification. I dig that.

Resolution the Two-eth:

To move out of the NorthEast. This resolution is dependent upon the mercy of the Army, so...well, maybe it will be a Resolution for 2005...

Thricely Resolved:

Return to school for at least one class. I miss my brain. It is out of practice.

Fourthly do I pronounce my Resolution:

To write in the spiffy new journal I bought myself for Christmas at least once a week.

Finally sez I:

I Resolve to not worry about my Resolutions, as that just increases the likelihood of slacking off.
