My resolution is to spend more time in the studio, working on new originals and listening to some really good music. This year I've let life's cares push my studio time to the background, and I'm starting to get 'down' inside - almost like a mild depression, and its all because I haven't rejuvinated myself with some creativity.
But come January, my message machine is going to say "I'm sorry, but Susan can't come to the phone right now - she's in the studio and can't be disturbed!"

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king..."
I'm with Irish Stepper...no more New Year's resolutions...
No new resolutions...just find better excuses!
But on a more serious note: I think New Year is an appropriate occasion to take a break and to think about our life, occurences, dreams, aims and wishes. And if we are getting new ideas then...wonderful!
My own experience is that I'm trying to realise them any time during the whole year whenever they come up to me and there is this "klick" in my head which enables me to follow them seriously!
Good luck to you all for keeping your resolutions!

I was sick as a dog on New Year's Eve so I didn't make any resolutions other than to not throw up.
But, today I resolved that 2005 will be the year I reclaim my life. I want to get it all in shape, and lose the clutter.... whatever or whomever that may be.
PS... sis.. where are you gonna find 20 pounds to lose unless you cut off your flowing locks????
Terry.... all you gotta do is actually ask the women out. Silly.
Maisky... good for you.
Urian... good luck finding those wrolds.
Siobhan...CREATE!!! Good for you. I want to do much more of that myself. Perhaps 2005 will be the year I find a publisher for my book.
Gabby, dear... I like the better excuses idea. I'll use them next year when you ask me if I kept my resolutions.

Compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it is like inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too. - Frederick Buechner

Ooh, that's what I need to do: reclaim my life. I realized this morning that even though I've distanced myself from some very damaging, one-sided, hopeless 'friendships' where it was me doing all the "friending", my thoughts still turn towards these people. Its just me wishing they would actually begin to reciprocate, actually call or write or ask how I'm doing instead of expecting me to make every single effort that happens... but its apparent they are not going to.
I decided to make a list of true friends, of sweet people who genuinely care about me and uplift me instead of constantly complaining about how bad their situation is; and whenever my thoughts turn towards the whiners, I'm going to think of the people on the true friends list. And also I resolve to read and post here more often, where I am always cheered and uplifted by chatting with CR members!

Reclaim your life...this is great, Elspeth. I started this process about 6 years ago; it's an not always easy but necessary one. I keep my fingers crossed for your, dear. And yes, I MIGHT ask you at the end of this year how it all worked out for you...
I have two: lose weight (this is standard) and stay healthy!
