It’s that time for the year again, when we make our New Years Resolutions and try to start anew… Ads in the paper are filled with exercise equipment, storage and organizing boxes.

I heard from somewhere (I don’t remember where though) that however you entered the new year will be a reflection of the following year to come. I think that is how some traditions/superstitions came about like: having a pocketful of coins and/or a wallet-ful of bills will bring you wealth; 12 or 13 different round fruits will bring you prosperity. I also had this notion that things should be clean and tidy, all clothes washed, etc…

Well, if that was the case… I’m in trouble!… Why?…

(1) It’s 7am right now and I can’t get to sleep, due me screwed up sleeping schedule from the holidays and getting sick after Christmas. How am I ever gonna get up on time for work come Monday morning?

(2) My room is a pig sty :( I wanted to reconfigure my shelves and reorganized my room during my long holiday break… but I haven’t gotten around to it. Grrrrr!

(3) I also wanted to work on the garden and fix things up during my long holiday break, but I haven’t done that either.

(4) I brought a little bit of work home to do, since the week after our break will be a killer… well, I haven’t started on that…

(5) My lovelife… well… I don’t want to get into that now…

Anyways, I need to get off my lazy butt and get things done!

With all that said, I’m still optimistic. I still think 2010 will be a good year… I just need a kick start…

On a good note, I started one of my New Years Resolution early. Every New Year I’ve said I will try to stop smoking… well, I finally did starting on Oct 17, 2009!…
