I posted last year on this same day, then never posted again.  I promised myself (not resolved however) I would be more active in blogging or sharing thoughts but then got caught up in heading back to school and suddenly textbooks and forum posts took over my life.  I guess in a way forum posts are like blogs...they connect with others but based on a similar or like subject. They share both fact and opinion. Blogs on the other hand primarily are based on the writer's thoughts and typically don't inject factual information. Nothing wrong with either type of expression.
DO I REALLY KNOW WHAT I JUST SAID?? I don't think I had enough sleep last night with all the neighbor's New Year's festivities...
It is so quiet in this place I can almost hear myself think. Of course those thoughts are of "when does 1200 get here" or "I wish I could go back to sleep." Not exactly Socrates this morning. Sue me. Kind of hard when you are toasting your New Year 10 hours later with a bottle of Crystal Light Margarita drink and some potato chips because you had to be asleep so you could get up at 430 to go to work.
I think if I continue the rest of  this post will be a bunch of nonsensical babbling so I shall spare everyone from it.

Happy 2012, when you get to it.

1/1/11

I find it funny and of course ironic that SyFy always has the Twilight Zone marathon on for New Years because isn't that where most of our resolutions go within days? ...to that place where it isn't quite black & white, but rather that grey area in the middle.  They are still fresh in our minds, yet find ourselves point where we cannot decide if they are worth our time and effort. The first "slip up" on what we resolved to or not to do causes us to question whether we really want to give this resolution a fighting chance.

This year I call what I resolve to do GOALS rather than resolutions.  They sound so much more lofty and more challenging to work towards.  What are my goals?  Drink more water, work on my Couch to 5K program, get out with the dog more, plant a garden THAT GROWS, start a photo website, maybe write that book I have had in my head for a while....yeah those sound more like goals than resolutions.  Who says "I resolve" to do something in their daily language anyway?! 

Happy New Year and Good Luck with all YOUR goals!
