I was watching the news this morning and they were talking about making New Year’s resolutions and what you need to do to actually stick to your resolutions. I wasn’t really paying attention because I was trying to remember what if any New Year’s resolution I made last year. I have a feeling that I made some sort of resolution but I can’t remember it at all. The show suggesting writing down your resolutions to make them concrete and that makes sense to me. But if you are like me, that scrap piece of paper is going to get lost in a pile somewhere, never to be found until you do a major cleanup. But I don’t make my resolutions in the standard way — waiting until New Year’s and then starting my good intentions until I fall off the band wagon and then wait until the next New Year to make the resolution again. I prefer to just get started with my resolution the minute I decide that I want to do it. The best time to start is the present. If you get off the band wagon, just get right back on… don’t wait until the damage piles up that you have triple the work to get back to where you started.

I am having a hard deciding on a good resolution to make. I know I would like to have more free time to do the things I like and time to spend with friends but I don’t have a concrete plan yet. I will have to think about it.

The end of the year is a good time to reflect on the year. What was good about it and want wasn’t so hot.

Here is a list of my top five moments in 2007:

1. Laughing and gagging while eating Berts Bots Jelly Beans while watching The Miracle on 34th Street Musical. The box of jelly beans looked very cool… it had a combination of very tasty cherry and strawberry flavoured jelly beans interspersed with utterly revolting earthworm, earwax, soap, and vomit flavoured beans. I bought this for a friend thinking it would be a delicious mix of jelly beans…and that they just called certain ones such vile names as a joke. Nope. It is real. But it was deliriously funny and I’m still chuckling about it.
2. My trip to Picton. Good times. Good times.
3. Listening to Royal Wood coming back from Picton. Now, whenever I listen to the CD it evokes a certain mood that I relish.
4. Getting a job without applying for it. I didn’t even use mind power. It was that easy.
5. Joining a social group. It was easier than I thought and a great way to meet people you would not normally get to meet.

2007 was a great year. Actually, I think it was my best year ever. Thanks to everyone who helped make it such a very good year. And a very big thanks to you who made me laugh, and laugh, and laugh. And you who shared your music and your stories.

Happy New Year to all!!!
