Wow, I just realized, it's been a month today since I last posted on here. I'm not going to make a lot of excuses, suffice it to say I spent my Christmas vacation -- almost two full weeks -- laid up with a sinus infection and cluster headaches. I've been playing catch up ever since.

However, when I saw the date of my last posting, I thought of one of my favorite quotations:

"Time's fun when you're having flies." Kermit the Frog!

Okay, enough silliness. Or maybe not enough. So I'll post my -- trumpet roll, please -- New Year's resolutions to give you more chuckles. Here goes!

My List of Resolutions:

1 - Start on a healthier eating plan - I refuse to say diet as that word implies something of shorter duration. I need to make Veggies, Milk, and Whole Grains part of a permanent solution.

2- Add more "Activity" to my daily plan -- Funny how typing on a computer 6 hours min at work and several more hours at home in the evenings doesn't burn calories. It's high stress but unfortunately low aerobic.

3- Work on my writing, EVERY day. I'm not going to set outrageous goals. I'm just going to promise that, every day, I'll work 15 minutes or 100 words, whichever comes LAST.

4- Find time for fun with friends. All work and no play makes me a grouchy isolationist. I need to socialize more.

5- Take time each day for meditation, prayer, contemplation, whatever you want to call it.

6- Get in bed by midnight -- I ain't as young as I used to be. Staying up until 2a.m. then getting up for work at 6:30 a.m. takes more of a toll these days.

7- Really clean my home office once a month. It will improve concentration.

8- And another practical promise, hang up or put away my laundry as soon as it's out of the dryer.

Well, there's probably a lot of others I should do, but this is the beginning.

Have a good day!
