2008 ALREADY??

I know , I know , I'm one step behind the drummer. It took me all week and a whole day of check writing to have it sink in. My time flies when your having fun.
It has been a good year in so many ways. I know unpleasant things have happened but I am going to take the lessons learned and move ahead swiftly.

I made a few resolutions to myself that I think I can live with. Trust me , I did not set the bar too high. I decided that I needed improvement in a few areas and now is a good time.

I am going to write more notes and letters. I love beautiful stationary and that's a good reason to share the beauty.

I am going to watch a whole movie without folding clothes.

I am going to ride my scooter 35 MPH and not be afraid.

I am going to take 20 items to the express lane and by cracky they are going to CHECK ME OUT !!

I am going to let a dirt ring form in my tub.

I am going to buy clothes that are not on sale.

I am going to spend more time with my friends. They deserve it.

I am going to be more tolerant of my own and others shortcomings. However I will still keep working on them.

I will let my family eat in the living room without having an anxiety attack.

I will turn my head the other way when my husband purchases a gas station hot dog or a krispy cream donut.

I will not go ballistic over my son leaving cigarette butts in my drive way.

I will not be distressed when Sarah does not dress her kids in snow suits to walk from the house to the car.

I will not tell my husband to turn his blinker on or off.

I will leave a drink cup in my car all night , maybe I will drive around with it all day.

I will stay in a hotel without cleaning up after myself.

Wait........... This is already too overwhelming for me. I can't possibly do all that in one year. Okay , I've narrowed it down to just spending more time with my friends. Whew.. I feel less pressure already.

God bless you and keep you in this new year. May everything you put your hands to prosper. I will be calling you for lunch!!
