My resolutions Yes, I am going to make some resolutions. I may not succeed in all of them, but if I succeed in half, I'll be happy. 1. I resolve to wake up every morning. That is not meant to be funny. Okay, yes it is. 2. Lose weight. Since I have gotten older, the saying that Rome wasn't built in a day makes me be more realistic in my goals. I resolve to lose at least 25 pounds by the end of the year. I put back 10 pounds between going back on prednisone and all the candy and egg nog since Thanksgiving. Bad girl. Bad, bad, girl. 3. I resolve to finish my second book.This is a sort of mystery novel. "Sort of" being the operative term. 4. I resolve to get healthier. I hope to try different medications to improve my quality of life. My guy in Providence has had a year and a half to discover better treatment. I haven't seen him in a year. So maybe there is something new. 5. I resolve to get my next car and be driving again by the end of the year. Like falling off a horse, the longer I wait to go out and get back into the real world, the harder it will be. I will hopefully be getting my car by April or May. I have to start going out even if it is just to drive the 1/2 mile to my friends for a cup of coffee every coule of weeks. Then work outward from there. That's it. 5 resolutions are enough. If I accomplish 3 of the 5, I'll be happy and if I should accomplish more, all the better. We had a quiet New Years Eve. Terry was planning to bring in the new year with me but he was ready to nod off at 11:30. I told him to go to bed. I told him as long as we stay up for the milleniums I will be happy. We did in 2000. So far, so good. I watched the ball drop, (tada) and went to bed. It just doesn't hold the thrill it did when I was younger. Maybe 2010 will seem more important. Although I made resolutions and will try to complete them, I also want to remember to live in the moment. I don't know if I mentioned it here or not, but I heard a line on a TV show that resonated with truth for me. This isn't verbatim, but it gets pretty close. "I'd rather live my life close to the birds than waste my life wishing I had wings." I don't want to sit and waste all of my days worrying about what might happen. If I should be lucky ehough to still be here in 5, 10 or 15 years, I would hate to think I had sat and used up all that time for nothing. I can imagine it now. "Hey doc, that desease finally got her, huh? "Yup. Horrible desease, that Worrying. Wow, this was suppose to be such a cheery entry.
Go back and read it again but stop after reading about our New Years Eve, ok? You all have a great 2009!
Later, Cosmic
