Happy New Year

We are back in rainy California after almost three weeks of time in Oregon. Now I must decide how to start the blog of the new year, is it with a list of resolutions, of goals, of things I have learned this last year?

1. Going to 2 classes at the gym in one night does not make up for not going for 3 months.
2. Snow is better than rain, as long as I don't have to drive in it.
3. Where ever you are, there is always someone somewhere else that you will miss.
4. Divorce is crappy, no matter how you look at it.
5. Smaller dog does not equal smaller amount of work to take care of it.
6. Cats can hide for a very long time.
5. Three year olds love to run around naked and screaming.
6. Two years old is not so terrible, watch out for three and four.
7. Sweat pants tucked into boots does not look good, on anyone.
8. Sadly, Grandparents will not live forever.
9. If we left Hollywood alone, maybe it would grow up. (I'm talking about the singers and actors, not the writers)
10. Relying on the housing market in California is not a good idea.
11. War is ugly and should be avoided.
12. Health Care Companies should not be able to decide who to cover and what to cover. (Case of a 12 year old dying because she was denied a liver transplant. There is no reason why the US should have the highest death rate for treatable diseases among developed nations.)

So here is to 2008, make it a year of change, a year of good communication, better health and thinking about the decisions we make.

Love the list! So true!!! If I made a list, it would be more along the lines of how disappointing things have been, so I like yours better!
