This morning I woke late, not as hung-over as I deserved,  and  decided that New Year's Resolutions were no more likely to be kept this year than in previous years. 

However, I did find this on As Time Goes By and thought I'd pinch the idea in an attempt to get my thoughts and intentions together:

Still Loving: my daughter, my son  - and the cats.

Still Not: in love with anyone.

Still Glad: I live in France

Still Enjoying: retirement.

Still Doing: mostly what I like when I like. Even the task of looking after two menfolk is not too restricting.

Still Proud: of no longer 'belonging' to Bear - of learning to stand up for myself.

Still Amazed: at how quickly time passes.

Still Hoping: Life will bring some happiness to CC and Jay.

Still Grateful: for all the people I know and friends I have made - both face to face and via blogging.

Still Wanting: to find a house with more doors to close and a smaller garden.

Still Trying: to speak French better.

Still Failing: to improve my French

Still Passionate: about blogging.

Still Dating: no one.

Still Working: on getting this bl***y knee to get better.

Still Reading: Harry Potter 7 in French.

Still Worried: about the potentially explosive  nature of our household.

Still Wondering: if we will move house this year.

Still Wishing: for a solution to life's problems and enough optimism to carry us through if one isn't forthcoming.

So, apart from a fairly determined decision to eat more slowly and stop when I'm full I'm not going to make any promises to myself that I won't be able to keep.

Let's hope 2008 will bring good things - health , happiness and a sense of achievement.

Bonne Année to one and all.
