Not Resolutions

I know this is the time of year when people make resolutions or are depressed about their lack of commitment to the resolution they made last year. I for one don't believe in resolutions. I think if you want to change something or do something better than you should start that day. Why wait? I have a list of 101 things that I want to do with my life or continue to do all the time. Their not resolutions...just goals or guidelines really. I take a look at this list every few months and revise things that need to be revised or check off items that have been completed. Here are some of things from my list that I want to focus more on this year:

30. Complete a triathlon! I'm only talking a sprint tri...which to me is still an amazing feat!

90. Talk. I guess I should go further and say be better at communicating. Anyone who knows me, knows I'll talk about anything! I don't have any secrets, but for me to actually convey how I feel....is another matter. I don't open myself up easily and even if you are one of the fortunate few that I love it's still hard for me to say it. My buddy Jeff has been trying to get me to better at this for years now & Scott can attest that I get really shy in the emotions department.

62. Always feel like Christmas. I love this one cause wouldn't it be great if you could always feel the excitement, generosity, togetherness that Christmas always seems to bring. I got this one from my favorite Neil Diamond Christmas song "You Make It Feel Like Christmas". Speaking of Neil, number 33 was accomplished this last year to see Neil Diamond live!! Oh my goodness!! I cried twice I was so happy to be there. I completely heart Neil!! (Sorry the pic is a little blurry...it was on zoom. Believe me though, he is still as hot now as when he did the Jazz Singer!)

(Diamond Girls!)

93. Love thy neighbor. No, not my physical neighbor! Sometimes people irritate me and I need to work on not being bugged....it's a process.

81. Be gullible. I know this is a silly one to have on my list, cause who in their right mind wants to be gullible, but I don't see it the same way other people do. I'm gullible because I believe people are honest. I don't understand why someone would lie, cause I personally don't see the point in it. I tend to believe everything people tell me. I lost sight of this one for a bit when I got my heart broken and I became a little jaded, but everything is right again so I can go back to the trusting person I am.

2, 4, 7, 10, 12, 19, 24, 29, 44, 49, 55, 73, 94. All these numbers are places I would like to go and see someday. I love history and travel and would love to go everywhere if I had the money. For now I just try to go somewhere cool at least once a year. I'm not sure which number I want to do yet this year though. Also, two of my favorite travel companions have gotten or are getting married. I am now accepting applications for their replacements.

Happy New Year Everyone. May all your wildest dreams come true!!
