Resolved.
- To be more patient, with myself, with my partner and with my child.
- To be more forgiving of mistakes. Everyone makes them, even me.
- To be less pessimistic. The world is not about to end everytime something goes wrong. Perhaps it is merely being sidetracked for a while.
- To be more accepting. Of situations, of people and of myself. I am not perfect, despite my attempts, and I imagine that other people have the same demons as I do. Just be, instead of control.
- To tackle one thing this year that scares me.
- To set aside time every day for me that isn't sucked into websurfing or television. To read, to learn, to write.
- To learn to tango.
- To plot my novel.
- To overcome my revulsion at sewing and learn to do it. I will not be beaten by darts and overlocking.
- To be nicer to my mother-in-law and stop fantasing about perfect ways to murder her.
- To allow more intimacy. To let people in, instead of keeping them at arms length. Life is too short to go through it crippled.
- To be a better friend.

I'm first!! doing the I'm first dance...
I don't like the boombah one, not at all.
I think one great way to fullfill a couple of those, would be to say YES to my proposal...
AND MARRY ME DARLING!!
Well, look at you. You're back. Thank goodness.
I will take your word for it that you actually need to do all of these things. To hell with being nice to Boombah (ooh, that could be your "backslide" resolution, the one you let go of in a week or something). You are a better person than me, I made NO resolutions for the coming year...
Yeah - the Boombah one isn't good. I mean, if you do all that other stuff, you still gotta have some fun, don't you?
May you find peace in the new year, and fulfill as many (or as few) of your resolutions as seems appropriate to you at the time -- and feel no guilt about those unfilled, or unfilled "satisfactorily!"
I was all with you until the whole Mother-In-Law thing...
Have a great new year!!
I'm all over that sewing resolution myself. I don't even know what overlocking is, so you're already doing well as far as I am concerned!
Last year is when you stopped smoking, isn't it? If you tackled that, you'll certainly get this new list taken care of.
Love!
You *are* a good friend, Lu!
