I don’t usually make New Years Resolutions, but our Hereios insist, and I must comply.

I am approaching an age that I had always considered “elderly”. Those years, plus a round of chemotherapy a couple of years ago, and a shattered humerus a few years before that, have caused a reduction in my balancing ability. My resolution is to work on recovering some of that valuable skill. We are here: New Years Resolutions

The artmaking pages also incorporate motivational quotes/reminders from The Artist's Way.

One New Year's resolution that I don't mind keeping.

Created with fd's Flickr Toys.

Question 30: Help the Library write its New Year's Resolutions! "In 2013 we will_______"

It's not 16 tons, but I'll take it! My New Year's resolution to get in shape for my cruise this summer is still in place. And yes, I'm surprised by it myself.

So far, I'm down 16 pounds, and today I'm headed back to the gym with my friend Cheryl. Finally have enough confidence that I'll stay with this that I can post.

Question 30: Help the Library write its New Year's Resolutions! "In 2013 we will_______"

Years ago, I did an outdoor group boot camp program with my friend Dave who is an ex-Marine. Every morning at 6 AM he'd yell at us, "What color is your pee?" The correct answer was "Sparkling champagne, sir!" I would drink my ten glasses of water religiously in order to avoid some kind of corporal punishment like extra pushups or laps.

It never occurred to me to lie about the color of my pee.

Dave no longer does boot camp and over the years, I have slowly gotten out of the habit of drinking enough water. I wonder if I can persuade him to call me every morning at 6 and yell at me?

For threesixtyfive and New Year's Resolutions,

January 1st 2010

My New Year's Resolution is to be more productive in my studio. I need to make more art and stay creatively motivated!

Also I think I may have stumbled on a theme for my 365 this year: my studio and things in it! yay n_n

Happy New Year everyone!!

Great Soul Dance song.

in latino culture, we eat twelve grapes for each stroke of the clock on new year's.

each one is supposed to represent each month of the coming year.

the sweet ones signify months of good luck and the sour ones...well, you know.

this year, however, these twelve grapes signify the now: every second that the clock strikes, may we be in the now, in the moment.

learning: the past and the future, we cannot control. solo tenemos el presente.

how's THAT for a new year's resolution?
