Ok it's NY resolution time...

Ok, it's NY resolution time for 2007. I have decided to keep to 5 resolutions. It's not that there isn't any room for self improvements, trust me there is and lots of it. It's just that 5 seems more reasonable to keep track of then 10 or more.

Here goes,

1. Count to 20 before retorting to questions or remarks that I find redundant, silly, irritating, repetitive or rude. Counting to 10 just does not cut it for me anymore.

2. Start and finish a book every 2 weeks. I used to be a voracious reader, now it's difficult to finish a book in 3 weeks. That means 26 new books to be read in 2007. Ugh...ok stay calm, you can do it.

3. Do something kind for someone else, family or not, every day. It need not be a big thing, something small, a gesture, a thanks, a smile. I read "Pay It Forward" some years ago and liked the idea.

4. Play at least a game each of Music and Sports in Funtrivia on a weekly basis and improve my sparse (extremely sparse!) knowledge in these topics.

5. Enjoy myself! Too often bogged down by real life with few moments of great happiness. Life is too short to be burdened thus, so I am going to do things that make me happy. Nothing that is going to involve breaking the law though :) .

I actually have one more, but as this is an on-going resolution for every year of my life, I don't find it necessary to list as a NY resolution. I will state it though as it is important to me....to love Jesus Christ more.

Happy 2007 to everyone.

Christmas Wishes

Wishing all of you a wonderful Christmas 2006!

Thinking about New Year resolutions

It is coming to the end of 2006. An OK year, had its ups and downs, but overall I will say it had more ups than downs. Very busy though. As the year end comes nearer, most newspapers and news websites will look back at the major events of 2006. I want to think ahead to the new year.

To me, resolutions are just aiming at certain targets, there is no rule that you have to achieve them, the FUN is in the trying. Of course the idea is not to set unrealistic targets, there is absolutely no FUN if you know you will not be able to meet any of them.

I make it 12 days to the new year. So I have 12 days to think of my resolutions. And I will be thinking hard...

And OOPs.....this is another 'Brandy non-related post' although one or more of my New Year resolutions may involve her. So I have enclosed a picture of Brandy instead. This picture of her was taken before we moved flats. She was investigating a cupboard.
