Well there you have it folks, the holidays are over. Time to clap your hands together and face the new year. I have never written New Year's Resolutions as I am always working on a goal list. But, here are some changes I would like for the new year - not just for me, but others too.

Words/phrases I would like to see less of:
  • having said that
  • moving forward/going forward
  • definitely (when used in reply, to agree)
  • clearly (when used in reply, to agree)
  • global warming

Words/phrases I would like to hear more of:

  • Here's a present for you...
  • You're getting a raise! (along with a promotion)
  • Your metabolism has sped up and you're losing weight easily and healthily (I can dream can't I?)
  • All the children(and animals) have been saved, don't send a donation.
  • Humans are not ruining the Earth, in fact the planet has been improved (another dream, I know)

Things I want to do less of:

  • watch less TV/waste time
  • worry less about others
  • wash fewer dishes
  • buy fewer magazines

Things I want to do more of:

  • expand creatively (design my own patterns maybe)
  • more nature walks
  • laugh
  • read more books

Wishing you a safe, healthy and prosperous 2009. Happy New Year's, friends. Any changes you'd like to see or share?

I would like to see less of the word "disorientated" which is really not a word anyways, and the misuse of apostrophe's at the end's of plural word's- augh!

I would like to hear "Here's your money" without having to ask repeatedly for it. Oh and the attitude of people when I ask for it has to change- it's not my fault that you pay late is it? It appears that they think so.

I'd like to worry less about money and not having enough of it.

And do more of my own thing- painting & crafting, without feeling guilty about not working during that time. I am thinking of taking Fridays off to do just that.... :))

My favourite one on your list is "All the animals and children have been saved and we don't need a donation."

I feel I'm on the right track, but would still like to work for myself. Also, we really need to go to Nova Scotia this year. I'm hoping for good airline prices.
