I am sorry to report that I don't have any resolutions for the New Year. I've never been a big resolution person, because if I want to change something in my life, I usually do it when I want to, not because the calender says I should do so. Me and Padi talked about some of the New Years resoltions that I should employ, and eventually these changes should come into play - but I can't feel comfortable with an exact point in time that someone can change themselves. Change is an ongoing process that you adopt and work at every day. Everyone has things that they wish they could change about themselves, even though mistakes repeat themselves constantly it's a resiliant and static, "Damn, I should fix that about myself." I know there are things I should fix about myself, the way I think about certain things, the way I look at certain things and how I adapt in certain situaitons. Quite frankly though, if you get rid of those things that you don't like about yourself...what is left of you? The question is, if you change things that are in your minds eye your flaws, does that in turn change your personality? We all have things that we dislike about ourselves, but everyone else loves in us and may not even realize it. Therefore, I have to fully regret to everyone that I don't have any New Year's resolutions, only things that I hope to change though a constant and ongoing process, not so much self-dicipline, but more awareness and recognition. So, in essence, I've had this same goal for a long time, regardless of whether it's the new year or not. Happy 2007.

I love you. See, loving oneself IS in and of itself a goal (one might even say a resolution). It's hard to remember that we're beautiful, unique, quirky creatures. But remembering that is, I think, perhaps the secret to happiness. That, and being able to hold your booze.
