So, what are your resolutions for 2008. Mine are:
1. Take up meditation.
2. Eat healthy food.
3. Do my Canadian Air Force exercies three times a week.
4. Drink less alcohol.
5. Make a start on my novel.
6. Read the works of Joseph Conrad.

I've only ever kept one New Year's resolution...

I made it about 20 years ago.

It was to not make any more New Year's resolutions.

My annual physical did not go well so my doctor made some resolutions for me. SIGH!
Lower my cholesterol; watch my salt intake; one glass of wine per week; increase fiber intake; lower fat intake...I just realized that she never mentioned bourbon so I guess it's OK for me to imbibe regularly.

So that's my resolution for 2008 - I will replace all previous fat, sugar and salt intake with Jack Daniel's (I know - it's sour mash not bourbon).

I made one about 2 years ago to stay away from all the emotional vampires (they suck the energy right out of ya) in my life and it's worked well so far so I'm sticking with it.

I'm going to re-resolve to learn to play an instrument... 3rd year running, haven't managed to yet, but I resolve to try again!

Depends how you word your resolutions. (I don't make 'em)

if you say 'I must....';'I will....'; those are likely not to happen.

if you say 'I want to ....', that improves the odds of you doing it.

Don't ask.

Limpit has resolved to finish her primus magnum opus. I'd rather she finished tidying her bedroom and the front room bits I've asked her to clear, but there we go....

I sort of resolved last year to finish at least one of my unfinished pieces of cross stitching. I did manage to put them all in one box, and I even finished one that had been going for about 8 years... I guess that will continue through this year too. But it wasn't a real resolution, just an 'I really ought to finish this stuff' thing. Honest. Not a resolution at all.

Manitas's only Resolve is in the medicine cupboard and he's running low.

SINS' doc said.... "Lower my cholesterol; watch my salt intake; one glass of wine per week; increase fiber intake; lower fat intake..."

One glass of wine per week? In that case, I would resolve to find another doc. S/He is obviously a quack.
