Comments on: Do New Year’s Resolutions Begin With "I Will" or "I Won’t"? Or Both?

My purpose in thinking these things through is to learn to focus a bit more. Maybe I should just limit my resolution to "focus more in 2009). Then, when December comes, I'll have done the thing I focused on. We'll see. Thank you so much for coming by and letting us know you were here. :) Carol, I sometimes think this is just a continuing issue — we rise each morning with at least a mental list of what will fill our day.

Doesn't drip off the spoon so easily. :) Yes, month to month sounds do-able, doesn't it? Thanks <strong>Domenique</strong>, for stopping in. I encourage you all to visit Domenique's art work. She may give you music to dance to... You’re welcome, Swati — next time I’ll put out some English muffins to toast with your jelly. Doesn’t drip off the spoon so easily. :)

NO! I think the list is bottomless for soul and knowledge seekers. Which you are. Right -- you do have the list now, so you have something to check against when you get that feeling of overwhelming paper piles. (At least that's how I feel.) <strong>Bean</strong>, how very well-stated. Thank you! Thank so much, <strong>Sema</strong>, for coming by. Yes, I did go to your blog -- I was so taken with the portrait you painted on the maritime chart paper. I would encourage others to visit your art work. My reaction exactly, Karol — EEK! — to the fast pace of passing weeks. :)

You know, even a step outside on a snowy day when every cell in your body says stay put is a goal achieved. I have days like that -- I just didn't write about them here. :) Your adventures at the <a href="http://www.sliloh.com/blog/mental-illness/carriage-house/" rel="nofollow">Carriage House</a> have taken you into a new world of purpose and goal-achieving success. I hope you don't mind my sharing that here. Thanks, as always, for stopping by, and for your friendship. Thank you, Anita.

Did I??? Well, maybe I did, since I don't well in clutter. Anyway, congrats on all your "new" clothes! What fun... And wipe that jelly off your chin. :) P.S. If you all saw how pretty and fastidious my sister is, you'd know she's kidding to a point, but only a point, and she'd NEVER have jelly on her chin!

I started with my bedroom closet and found so many clothes and shoes I'd forgotten I had......whew! Jack's so happy I've saved him the money I'd have spent by continuing to replenish what was already there! Thanks, sister dear, from both Jack and me, for the idea!! :) Okay…..I have to admit, I did make one goal for the year so far…..to clean out all my drawers, cabinets, and closets….one a day for as long as it takes, which will take until the end of the summer!

The jelly is scrumptuous! Now....you've got me thinking about my goals.....hmmmm.
