What a shit year!
Things started out bad and then just went down hill. People I know took ill, some died, my mother amongst them. Others got into trouble, some serious, some even got hurt, badly. Almost every couple I know had either static in their relationships, or broke up. My health went from bad to worse, I'm still pretty messed up and my mental state gradually deteriated as my mother got worse.
2008 has to be a new beginning otherwise I think I'm going to get a lot worse, both physically and mentally. Thus, I have decided, for the first time I can ever remember, to make new years resolutions.
Resolution Nr. 1: Lose weight.
It doesn't really matter how much I lose, just so long as I lose some weight. I'm now some twenty kg over my biometric recommended weight and there is a strong possibility that some of my various health problems are due to this.
Resolution Nr. 2: Go swimming.
I used to go swimming about twice a week, but I haven't been once in over six months now. I have decided then that I will go swimming at least once a week in 2008 and if I miss a week I have to catch it up in the following week.
Resolution Nr. 3: Go to the psychologist.
I need to do something about how I am as a person. I am self destructive and I need to deal with this. The death of my mother has forced me to confront how I've been acting in the last few years and I need help to find a way up and out of the hole I have dug myself into.

This year, we have a strange parallel happening, and my resolutions are almost exactly the same as yours. I actually have an appointment with a psychologist this Friday, because I haven't been doing very well emotionally.
All of the stress has also affected my physical health, and I'm going to have to work through those issues along with the mental ones.
This year will be better. I'm not going to say that things can't get any worse, because it's always a possibility, but most likely they'll improve.
Let's hope that this year will bring peace and gentleness to both you and I and our families.
I like to think we share something undefined. Maybe we were twins in a former life?
Its probably just a coincidence, but who knows. There is more between heaven and earth...
I'm happy to know that you've resolved 2008 will be better because your long periods of silence have left me worried at times. Its really good to hear from you. It always is.
Stay safe sweet & sleepy Cyan. May the goddess of happiness shower her blessings into your world!
Good luck to you both as you resolve to take care of your 'self'!
My resolution is to work on my attitude of grattitude. Not sure how this will play out, but it can't hurt to pay attention to one's thoughts and behaviors.
May you (and everyone else on this little planet) have peace of mind, an open heart and a lifted spirit. :)
I will wish for you what I wished for cyan: good luck and enduring peace.
(I happened to read her blog first today.)
I am confident Cyan will find happiness too
=)
And Moif will find his, as well. :)
If you do Res 2 (swimming), Res.1 will follow.
As for Res. 3.... I have found that the mind can be a strange animal.
I've been to the psychologist before, several years ago and she was a great help then. Just the thought of seeing her again is lifting my spirits.
I'm going to start swimming more if I can also.
My emotions are very up and down, I've always had a bad sleeping routine also,sometimes I'm up until 4 or 5 in the morning working, then during the day I feel knackered, but no matter how hard I try I can't get myself into a routine. I've also had an on off battle with OCD since I was a kid,somedays it really get me down,that and I also have floaters in my eyes which really distract me when I'm working on the PC. Going to try and get fitter this year though, I started on some very basic exercises that I can do during the day in the house to break up work.
I do find posting on my blogs therapeutic in some respects,my Art Blog needs updating soon as I've left it a while but my other Blog there's always some movie news or something to post up there ! Hope you get sorted with your resolutions OK !!
Thanks Andrew. I know how you feel. I've never been able to adapt to the 'working ryhm' of going to to bed and getting up at a regular time.
Still not been swimming yet though...
Good luck with your resolutions! I hope 2008 brings you greater happiness and health than 2007.
Get back in the water :) It'll wake you up and help you get a move on your day.
