New year resolutions Friday 5
Sally at RevGalBlogpals posted these questions:

Well it had to be didn't it, love them or hate them I bet you've been asked about New Year resolutions. So with no more fuss here is this weeks Friday Five;

1. Do you make New Year resolutions?

I really do not make traditional "New Year's Resolutions." I do pause and reflect on the previous year and try to project some new things forward. I don't make a list and whatever I project I try to make realistic. I think that this process is continual with me and I just think about it more at the New Year

2. Is this something you take seriously, or is it a bit of fun?

I really think I take these projections seriously. I don't project stupid or impossible things. They are more like goals or objectives.

3. Share one goal for 2008.

I really hope to achieve a beginning to solving my weight issues during this year. I know that the solution may take several years and is ultimately a life style change. I have though learned that determination is a key to my achieving goals.

4. Money is no barrier, share one wild/ impossible dream for 2008

Money IS a barrier! I could dream for all kind of wild and impossible things, but I would really prefer to have one or two solid goals. I know that this isn't as much fun. I do have a semi wild dream, but I think I would like to keep it private for now. If I were to get a fantastic amount of money, there are certainly things I would like to do with it. A lot of it would be given to others to help make their lives better.

5. Someone wants to publish a story of your year in 2008, what will the title of that book be?

"Encounter with Tomorrow"

I know these answers are rather serious and bland and in a way I think I would have preferred to be able to provide some funny or witty answers. There are some things I would like in the near future. I am working on the weight thing, which I hope will help with the Diabetes, cholesterol, Apnea, and pain in the joints. It might just help in the romance side of things. Romance is something that has been sorely lacking for a while. Of course it is just possible that a thinner me might not be a prettier me, who knows? Life is a risk! One thing I do want to always do is live as full a life as possible, now and in the future.

Love,
Shel
