TUESDAY 6TH JANUARY 2009

Resolutions are made to be broken so I haven't made any however there are things which I will try to acheive which can only make me better person.

So here are few things but not resolutions just things ?! will try to do

Everyday I will exchange at least a few words with a new person. This can be anywhere and anyhow even a new person on the phone is ok as a last resort.

Send an email or support a cause that I have meant to do and just haven't got around to. Do this every month even if this just means signing a petition.

Pick up the phone to a friend I haven't spoken to for years and restablish contact with someone different every month!

Read books which will stretch me intellectually and broaden my range.


Of course do some new things - I am about to go and do some abstract painting which I have never tried and want to try. Enthusiasm always out does reality and who knows what will be the result?!

WATCH here for news of how I get on oh and by the way



HAPPY NEW YEAR FOR 2009!

I admire your resolutions and would want to add these to my desires as well. Good to see your blogs again.

PS I meant to say...
I loved Four letters of Love and the Kite Runner too.
And I wish you a very happy New Year.

Very good resolutions indeed!

Cait O'Connor: Just read 'Before you sleep' by Linn Ullman a rather nice read.
Aku: Well they are more interesting than going on a diet!

Thanks for stopping by my spending blog. :)

I like your resolutions, especially the one about stretching yourself through reading. I tried doing that last year and didn't accomplish as much as I'd hoped, but I still read 3 books I never would have touched otherwise.

benjibopper:less time on the computer now I didn't think of that
welshcakes:will let you know of course
Ann: I am reading Eric Newby with the map of Russia alongside not really stretching me but at least it has more meat than some reads so going in the right direction!
