For the parts of the world that use the Gregorian calendar, today is New Year's Eve. In the US it's traditional to make a resolution for the year. The resolution is something you want to accomplish during the year. The most-often resolved items in the US are losing excess weight and quitting smoking. One year I resolved the latter and actually stuck to it. This year *my* resolution is to pay more attention to the advice of my friends. In 2006 I made two disastrous decisions, both against the strong advice of all my friends, that have plagued me through 2007.
What are your resolutions for 2008? Try it, even if you're using the Ethiopian Calendar; it's a stimulating exercise. Use the comments section to let us know what you're resolving to do/not do in 2008. (If you've never used the comments, don't worry: it's fun and easy.)
I decided that I'll work on eliminating procrastination, starting tomorrow (heh!).

So, are you going to share those disastrous decisions or just make us speculate? :)
Just thought you'd like a hit from PR, since you are a blog-stat checker -- my resolutions? Well, actually, I did resolve to lose 10 lbs last year, and I actually did it. More like 15, really, amazingly, I'm not sure quite how it happened. This year, I want to be able to run a sloooow marathon, and also to run a 7:00 minute mile. Just one. Right now I can't get under 7:30 for a mile. So, will I be fast and tough next year at this time? I don't know.... but now that the adoption is done I need a big challenge again...

DISASTROUS decisions? I can't believe you would dangle that out there and not give us a bit more data. Cruel.
As for resolutions, I resolve to get my butt to the gym more often. And to pull all the overgrown plants out of my front yard and put something nice in instead. Not really very scintillating resolutions, are they?

My resolution for '08 is to get my butt-off the internet and find another part time job that pay me good enough take care of my outstanding bills? How does that sound Mark? Don't worry I'll still have some time to read and comment on your blog!
