2005...slip sliding away

This time of year, as many others do, I look back at the year and see what I've accomplished and at all the changes that have taken place in my life. I also look at what I want to accomplish in the coming year.

And sometimes I think...ahhell, it's just another day.

Resolutions? I normally don't make them. Why lie to myself? However this year is different...I started a blog and now I have some resolutions.

I resolve, in 2006 to never have popups, music or advertisements on my blog. I also resolve to never beg for money to keep my blog going. I resolve to not even attempt to make money through my writing. (Now, if a miracle happened and someone offered me money to write I don't think I'd refuse it!!) And, I will not attempt to sell you anything.

Nope, ain't gonna do it.

Those are resolutions I know I can keep. I write about things I know. I write about my life and the people in it. And, if along the way I can make you smile - then I've done my job.

It amazes me that since I've started this little blog that it's had over 5,000 views. Ohhhh I know, some people get thousands a day. But from the comments I've received, I've made a few people smile. That makes me feel good :) (see! a smile from me!)

I'm hoping soon to have new adventures to write about as we are headed to Miami the end of January! (yes! yes! the ocean! sand surf and cabana boys! hotdamn!) I will have more stories about Mom and my son. And, without doubt I will have more stories of the stupid and crazy situations I get myself caught up in....but that's my life.

So, to those in 2005 that have brought love and laughter into my life - thank you from the bottom of my heart. To my friends and family - you are forever in my heart.

And to those who read my thoughts, may this new year bring you all much love, great health and tons of happiness.
