If I were a more resolute person

I would make all sorts of new years' resolutions. Ones that I thought were important. Worthy of trying to change my current way of being around for. Ones like:

*kiss Dan when he leaves and comes back from work every day
*eat healthier
*work out 2-3 times a week
*send a piece of fun-mail to some deserving person once a week
*purpose time to visit with friends more often
*call family and friends more often
*read more
*develop more of our pictures
*tithe
*organize a craft centre for the boys and plan great, engaging crafts
*scrapbook anything after Natty's first year
*make sure I wash my face *every* night
*take more videos of the boys and send them to grandparents, or create DVDs
*pay *all* our bills on time every month
*lose my temper with the boys less often
*keep a clean desk
*worry less about how my body looks
*create an efficient system for incoming mail, papers, etc.
*clean our bathroom more often
*walk Maya (poor, little neglected puppet)
*invite people over here more often
*volunteer time to the less fortune, and somehow foster that sense of compassion and responsibility with the boys
*take more chances
*be more encouraging
*write something meaningful or funny down every day that the boys said or did
*send love notes
*and of course, laugh more often.

But, sweet marie, that's sure a lot of work. And goodness, I'm not that resolute.

Here's to 2008.
