Who here makes resolutions for the new year? I do but not the ones that most people do. For example, last year I resolved too makes new friends and try to be a better friend to the few I have now.
How did that work out? I think I have one or two new friends but still rarely talk to the friends I had. Folks, I swear I do make an effort, per my 2007 resolution. How many times can you call someone or email someone before it just looks pathetic?
So this year, I have some resolutions:
1. Make new friends.
2. Make some changes in the business to help my body out.
3. Learn something new just for the hell of it. Maybe a new language?
4. Increase my Qi gong practice.
I will continue to take my Tui Na classes but I also have to step beyond work stuff. Learn too paint? Learn Japanese or Italian? Maybe French? Learn to weave baskets! Really, the possibilities are endless, I just have to get off my ass and DO IT! Maybe along the way, I will meet new friends!
My goals related to the business are going to be to put more effort into attracting more Asian Bodywork clients. That is my specialty after all so why not let the world know? I also have to be a bit more concrete with my boundaries. Why do I feel like I have to work extra to get everyone in? I need to take care of ME also so I can keep helping others so I have to learn to say no. It is getting easier actually so that might not be a hard thing to implement this year.
So besides contemplating my goals for the next year, my time has been consumed by our adorable Marley and Christmas and work and ....... that's about it.
January 1 I will head back to NYC after 3 months of absence! I think I have gone through a bit of withdrawal. There is no way I will be there for the New Year's Eve celebration, we will get up there while the city is still recovering. On the second we will see the acupuncturist finally! My body will be oh so happy after that. Time will not permit much else, maybe a bit of exploring. If anything, walking will entertain me. God, I love that city. Marley will be going to a pet sitters home for the night and having a bit of a sleep over with another dog and GASP a cat that likes to play with dogs! I am so exciting for him, I know he will have tons of fun! He will be missed for sure and we did discuss bringing him along, thinking the acupuncturist surely wouldn't mind a dog in the office??? LOL
Have a great New Years and be safe!

I can count myself among the new friends on your list and it's been terrific knowing you and look forward to friendship unfolding! :o) Your New Year's list is a great one. I wish you discovery, enlightenment, fun and joy on the journey! I do make resolutions most years, and my list for this year went pretty well. To be a good friend was on my list--to nurture and contribute to the friendships in my life. I like I did ok...But somehow I managed to lose a friend in spite of my good intentions. People cirlce in and out of our lives. Doors close, but new doors open. I'm working on my list for next year--thinking, considering, writing, dreaming. I'm excited about 2008! Hope you have a marvelous time in the Big Apple! Thank you so much for your birthday greetings to me! Our internet connection has been variable this weekend, dropping out. Only just back on and wanted to stop by and visit before your trip! Will talk to you soon. Happy Days...And wishing you a bright New Year--full of love, peace and JOY! ((HUGS))
