    [​IMG] Any resolutions for 2007 out there? I know, lose weight.

    Just wondering if anyone has interesting plans for improving their lives in the almost-here year.

    I am hoping to pursue some serious professional education, for the first time in 20 years, and possibly divert to a related but new career once that's done.

    And, as always, read more, eat less (yes, I do the New Year diet, too), take myself less seriously, and try harder to accept the world as it is, not as I wish it were.

    Let's hear your resolutions.

    Since I stopped smoking 6 weeks ago (and I'm doing GREAT :thumb: ), there's nothing much left but the usual stuff as staying alive, be productive and be fertile, yaddayadda...

    It wasn't easy, but I successfully broke the habit after some seven years of smoking. Lots and lots of toothpicks and Dentyne Tango did the trick.

    I've pretty much done everything that could count as a new year resolution this year: subscribed to the gym, changed my diet, do more exercise, that kind of stuff.

    I break new years resolutions after about 25 minutes, so I don't bother with them anymore.

    I don't make 'em either. It's like Napoleon said, the easiest word not to break your word is not to give it in the 1st place ;)
