I've written a new piece on New Year Resolutions and thought I'd share it with you.

It's on my blog.

I hope you enjoy it.

I enjoyed reading your piece very much Vicki!
Cute and so true!
thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Now on to make a few adjustments to my own goals for 2007!
Gotta be realistic!

Now that's a great article Vicki! I'd love permission to post it on my site with your picture as the "guest" baby boomer writer of the week.

But you always write good stuff!


Peace & Blessings,

Very good Vicki....I'm with you gal, give me chocolate, or give me de----chocolate....

I never set resolutions, but I do keep HOPE for the new year alive by setting attainable, reachable, and sensible (there's your logic) goals. And fun. I make sure there's fun involved.

Another good article Vic!

Beverly, thanks so much. I've e-mailed you offline to give you the essay and a photo. Thanks for the opportunity!

Great article, Vicki. I gave up making New Year's resolutions years ago because they became one more source of stress during a time when the last thing I needed was more stress. Now I just continue pursuing a healthier lifestyle that fosters my emotional/mental stability, feeds me reliable energy and stamina, and nurtures enough spiritual serenity to see me through those stresses and situations that I can't control.

But I did add one "resolution" this year - to enjoy more cheesecake. I've been depriving myself...though the reasons are hazy now. But last night we had some pumpkin cheesecake and have to admit that the feeling of utter ecstasy at that first bite is a gift I ought to - and want to - be giving myself a lot more often this year...

Enjoyed your article, Vicki! One of my resolutions is to update my blog more often. Yours in an inspiration.

Vicki, we have so much in common. I'm also going to dote on my new grandson and spoil my dog and parrot!

My other resolution (er, I haven't gotten around to updating my blog yet...) is to submit more work. So I have been working on that and have submitted five stories this week. Of course, it will probably be months before I know how they did! My goal is to submit 5 more pieces before the end of the month.

I read it too, Vicki. Great article, thanks!
