I have this “new year” block. Every year. The Birthday block. I don’t consider it a new year until January 9. How self-centred is that?! I find this somewhat strange because I don’t quite care about age. Maybe it’s just my excuse to keep the party going. Yeah, that’s it. Regardless, with each new year, or birthday, it’s reflection time.

I’ve just looked back to last year’s “goal list” post, and all the things I wanted to accomplish in 2007. Let’s just say that I will happily adopt some of them for every year, and for those things that did not get done, I’ll tack them onto every year as well. I will simplify my 2008 goal list here and now:

• be good to others
• don’t sweat the small stuff
• be happy and healthy

I think the Chinese are onto something with that whole “8” luck thing – I have a great feeling about this year.
