Day 144, Happy New Year

Did you catch the sunset this evening? My cell phone doesn't take the greatest pictures, and surely this one does not do the sunset justice, but I thought I'd throw it on the blog anyway. This is one of the views from our balcony....the place where Ron and I (and Mick,,,and the tiger kitties,) took our afternoon nap today. Gotta love vacation.

After serious contemplation about my New Year's resolutions, I decided it would be easier to keep them if I turned them into positive statements instead of "I will not....." or "No more...." statements. Let's face it, any time I tell myself I will NOT do something, I automatically want to do whatever it is even more. So, I've chosen my wording very carefully....Here goes:

1) I will eat better (that's code for I think I should not drink so much caffeine or eat so much sugar.)

2) I will be a wise steward of my money (code for stay out of the casinos and pay off my credit cards.)

3) I will get my book published (code for I will get my book published.)

4) I will take better care of my body (code for I will lose 20 pounds.)

5) I will finish the sequel to my book (code for I will actuallly begin writing the sequel...AND finish it.)
6) I will get better at RAKs (code for I will be less selfish this year.)

What about you? Make your resolutions yet?
