This seemed like a good picture to post today since I have been TAGGED! Yes, RO_Pumpkin, from Brasov Romania has tagged me. It goes something like this: When it comes to New Year’s Resolutions we seem to fall into four categories: 1) quite serious about them, 2) be flippant about them, 3) do it because we feel pressured to, or 4) do not do them. So, the purpose of this little game is to let us know which category you are in. Now I am going to tell you about my New Year's resolutions, and then tag a few others for the same thing!
I guess I fit into a fifth category of New Year resolvers. I make them quietly, to myself, and try not to call them resolutions so the formality of it all won't cause too much pressure, or jinx my efforts. So, if you want to call them soft resolutions, that's me. And for 2008, mine sound something like this:
The standards first: I will eat better, I will exercise more, I will speed less, and so forth. Then there are the deeper ones, like I will try to be a better person this year, more the person I think I can be, if only I tried harder. I will not hurt anyone this year, and I will be good for the people I love. I will find ways to make the lives of my loved ones easier, happier, more fulfilling. I will let the love in my heart show more readily, to strangers and friends alike, so that their lives might be just a little better. I will refrain from judgement. I will accept, tolerate, and embrace the differences, opinions, habits, and lifestyles of others around me.
Wish me luck! Now I want to tag a few of my fellow bloggers out there... Jilly, in Menton, France; Dan in McKinney, Texas; Chris in Nashville, Tennessee; and Annie in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Dan, you're a good person. I can tell my the resolutions you mention. I, on the other hand, am not so clearly good. I've decided to make a resolution not fail in any resolutions. In other words, I'm not making any this year.
ReplyDeleteHave you noticed how the people who exercise and go to gyms are already in good shape? I think staying in shape has to be life-long thing.
ReplyDeleteHaha... detailed analysis.
ReplyDeleteYes it is a great shot for this article.

Great resolutions.
ReplyDeletehehe, nice resolutions! and nice picture to get inspiration from :)!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tag, Wayne. Well I don't really do new year resolutions. I don't need to lose weight so no need to cut out food - aren't I lucky? There is a determination to properly get stuck into my writing this year and to take even less dogs en pension but I'd not call it a New Year Resolution.
ReplyDeleteI don't make them cos I never kept to them but wish luck and courage and determination to those who do.
Like the resolutions and really like the photo, too.
ReplyDeleteI am sure of one thing, they don't make bikes like that around here. We do have some overpasses similar to this one.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful suntan!
ReplyDeleteI have not taken any resolutions this year, so I won't feel guilty :-)
My resolution is to look like this biker ;-)
ReplyDeleteNice resolution.
ReplyDeleteCheers
all the best and good luck with your silent resolutions . i hope it works for you .
ReplyDeleteWe have motorbikes on the overpass (foot overbridge)!! I post a pic somtime.
ReplyDeleteYou have great resolutions. My wishes resonate with most of them, but they are just that wishes, not quite resolutions. :(
