Happy 2009!
5. Good friends to laugh with.
6. A short memory to forget all the rat bastards who did you wrong (life is too short to dwell on the "rat bastards" of this world.....don't try to understand their motives.....you never will and that's why they are "rat bastards").

I'd like to remember to wear a hat out on the boat this summer to protect me from sun damage.......maybe not this hat........it might freak out the people in the water!
I'm thinking more like this cool Australian Bush hat. I think I wouldn't look quite as ridiculous in this hat as the shark hat (I'd hope!).
Oh yah! How about that exercise thing???? You know everybody makes that commitment to exercise more in 2009 including me. I joined the gym 3 days ago and could barely raise my right arm this morning to brush my teeth or pick up a glass to drink out of because my muscles hurt! I think I need to buy a box of straws and Crest White Strips until I strengthen my noodle arms.
I'd like to do something kind of daring in 2009.......... not swallowing knives, I'm kind of attached to my uvula......but something daring. I'll have to think about this one. Any suggestions?(no knives, needles or any other sharp objects, please).

I'd like to go for a ride on a train in 2009, I've never been on a train. I've always thought there is something terribly romantic about train travel. I hope it doesn't make me motion sick and I barf....that's not romantic!
Lastly, I'd love to go Marlin fishing in Florida. This most likely won't happen but it's nice to dream!
Happy New Year to all of my friends out there in Blogland! Thanks to all of you who have stopped by my blog this year and left your wonderful comments. I really have appreciated each and every one of them! I've also enjoyed visiting your blogs!
My 9 wishes for you this year:
1. Good joint health......you never know how important your knees, hips, shoulders and elbows are until you have trouble with them! Treat them well!
2. At least 10 minutes a day to enjoy nature and think about what makes it so great or who created it's greatness.

3. Free time to do things that are free (remember, some good things in life really are free).
4. Close family.

7. Moderation in everything......eating, exercising, spending....you get the picture.
8. Patience and tolerance.
9. Finding a new thing that you really like to do that you've never done before.
Hey, how about those resolutions?!?!?!?!?!?
Here are mine in no particular order and I'm not actually calling them "resolutions" but rather "things I'd like to do this year".
This year I'd like to learn either how to play the piano or sit on a piano. I'm thinking the latter will be a better bet than the former because I have excellent ballance!

I'm going to try to have 3 pieces of my art published in magazines this year.

Well, it's now 12:05, I've watched 'the Ball' drop on T.V., kissed my wonderful husband and now I'm off to get some shut eye! Do you have any resolutions for 2009? If so leave a comment, I'd love to know what others are planning to do in 2009!
