New Years Resolutions...

Every year John and I get together and "discuss" our resolutions. He writes mine down and I write down his... its a great way to hold each other accountable. Listening to him tell me all 20(!) of his resolutions and after picking up my chin from the table, the only thing I could say was, "Easyyyyy CAPTAIN PLANET???"

Good GRIEF -- 20 resolutions! (that I actually DO hope he fulfills - there were some good ones on his list!)

I have a whopping grand total of 10... and of coarse, he made me read mine first so I couldn't "add lib" anything at the end! (Typical!) Now, understand that these resolutions aren't about weight (generally!), or climbing Mt. Everest, or exercising more... They are more like little goals for ourselves...

I'll give you a few of mine:

• Get all birthday cards/gifts in the mail PRIOR to persons birthday! (not everyone celebrates the WHOLE MONTH of their birth like me, I need to stop using that as an excuse!)
• Recognize my patterns.
• Travel after April 15th to somewhere I've never been before (friends from far away that would like a visitor for 4+ days CALL ME!) :-)
• Choose not to take things personally.
• Work on my photography - take more classes, books, find mentor, etc.

So, its January 4th and I've already got 4 birthday presents for loved ones! I'm quite pumped about it frankly... I think I MAY be able to pull resolution #1 off!

John has already started knocking several of his out too... I'm hopeful that we wont lose momentum... I'll have to keep you posted....

Until then, I'm looking for a Captain Planet cape for Christmas of '09 for a "special someone" in my life!!!!
