New Year resolutions blues

Thank goodness 2008 is over! Good-bye and good riddance! I swear it didn't go fast enough. Can you tell you I had a sucky year? *lol* Well, I'm not going to bore you all enumerating all the reasons why 2008 sucked for me. Enough is to say that with my health problems and my computer being "dead" (and with no hope of saving it) has been more than enough to make 2008 the worst year ever. (And here I thought 2007 sucked. HA!) I know now I should be looking at 2009 with optimism. Well, I spent the first day of the year sick with terrible abdominal pains, and at one point during the early morning hours I thought of calling 911 and had them take me to the ER. *sighs* Not exactly a promising way to begin the year, right? Sure, it was just the first day. I still have 364 days left of it so things are bound to get better. So keeping that in mind (and my fingers crossed!), last night after drinking a sour-tasting chamomile tea for my still-upset stomach, I sat to think about what I want for the new year. Sure, I quickly came up with a list of ...well... the usual thingies. You know, a hot hunk in bed, shoes, clothes, a hot hunk in bed, a new computer, ... did I mention a hot hunk in bed? Oops, seems like I did. Twice. Good for a threesome. Hehehe! Anyway, I realized that I had stopped setting up goals. I remember a time when I used to pin a list of resolutions next to the calendar and cross them out as I accomplished them. Not anymore. And I guess that's the crux of my wandering aimlessly throughout the year, not getting much accomplished both in my personal and professional life. I must admit that I'm still wary of working on a list of resolutions because I'm extremely driven and not meeting my goals can hit me quite hard. However, I've been thinking that perhaps I could start with 2 general resolutions: 1) Get healthy That includes taking all my vitamins (all 10 pills) and doing my workout routine - yoga and/or walking - and meditation sessions. 2) Slowly learn to live in the now, and work on accepting those things I can't change. In the past two years I have learned that "life happens", and I can't always reach my goals or make my New Year's resolutions come true. But perhaps with more general goals, I might be able to shake out the blues. So about you all? Did you make a list of resolutions for 2009?
