My 2008 resolutions........
One is to stay healthy - I realize that I don't have a LOT of control over that, but I can keep a positive attitude, follow up with my doctors, eat healthy and exercise.
My second resolution is this..... in this journal, every single day of 2008 I will enter 3 things that I'm thankful for that day. They can't overlap, so that will be 1098 unique things by the end of the year.
We are all so blessed - even when things go wrong, or we have a bad day, rest assured that someone else had a worse day, or is suffering more than you at that moment in time. Be thankful for what you have - for those close, for your job, etc. I plan to focus on not only the large things, but the small ones as well. Too often we let the negativity overtake whatever positive we have going on. I hope this will teach me not to do that.
And the best part? I found a PINK journal - yay :)
So far I have:
My Sweetie
My Mom
My Sister
My Nephew
My Niece
My other Niece
Pasha
Freyja
Mischief
My Job
Photography
Tulips
My Vehicle
The Color PINK
Enough money to pay my rent this month
I'm not really into new years resolutions, but here's a short list of my photo related ambitions for this new year:
- Learn more about lighting (and read up on strobist.blogspot.com/)
- Practice shooting in manual mode (just to get a better grip on how things work)
- Shoot a nice portrait of a stranger
- Get into top 10 on explore
- Appreciate the fact that the Fugger group is still alive and participate in more invasions!
Not sure how well this will go - but Cosmo seems to want to turn the page and be less of a jerk to Flapjack.

Macro Mondays (01.04.10) - New Year's Resolutions...
This shot is for the Macro Mondays group theme of resolutions. I am almost always late, and every year I resolve to be on time. May I can be on time in at least one time zone this year! LOL!
New Year's Resolution - post backlog of photos while camera's on the fritz.
Is this crop better than the original treatment?
When making my resolutions this year, the usual list items reared their heads -> more running, less wine, healthy eating, volunteering, taking photography to the next level, getting my motorcycle license... blah, blah, blah. It's just noise if you don't really do it! I really want these to stick this time so I decided to look at these things differently -> I am investing in myself. Ha! Let's see if that works!
I plan on investing more than the equivalent of $1.42 in myself, BTW.
Out of an end comes a new beginning…
It’s time to say goodbye to 2011, and to this my third year of a 365 project. I told myself that I would do at least 5 years of 365 as my 154th lifetime dream, and I have completed now 3 of those 5 years.
2011 was for the most part just the set up for 2012. That’s the best way that I can really describe it. There’s a lot that I am anxious to leave behind. There is a lot that I am looking forward to in 2012:
1.Moving to a new office, city, and position.
2.Travel (Prince Edward Island, Connecticut, and the mountains of Colorado for starters!).
3.A healthier life style and a healthier drive.
2012 will have its set of challenges. My Great Uncle just passed away yesterday. My uncle in law will pass away this next year from a dual dose of cancer (liver and colon). My grandmother in law will probably be soon after him.
For this my final picture of 2012 I wanted to capture how I feel. With the death of one comes the life of another. And I feel much of me that is dying inside will give birth to newer and better things. Here’s to that promise.
Thanks to everyone who followed, commented, and inspired me this year. I expect the same in 2012!
Esporta Gym, Rustington, West Sussex.
To get fit! Here I am at the gym ... finished my workout and feeling good ...
My new years resolution this year was to cut back on my shoe purchases to only one pair a month.
I'm already three months ahead.
Sorry I've been busy guys, between spending more time in the kitchen, writing more in my journal as a nice idea brought by my flickr friend Bettina.Schwarz, and I'm now in my 5th week of P90X which as given me little time to play on the internet.

5.) Make a point to write in my journal consistently.
6.) Spend less time on the internet while at work.
7.) Practice patience with clients at work, Matt & the dogs.
8.) Read at least one page of the Qur'an each week and take notes on what I don't understand for questions later.
