Happy New Year 2006 (Very Original Title)
Into 2006 we now are. It’s odd. Poof, in a snap of fingers, it was 00:01, and another year. Where has 2005 gone?
Time is a weird, weird concept.
I’m not taking any resolutions for the year. Resolutions begin to sound like saying “I’ll go to the gym every day”, only to give up comes February because I want to make it too much, too fast, too perfect. I don’t see why I should bother with resolutions—I’ll do what I have to do, but on my terms, not because January 1st is some kind of magical number that will make everything easier. I don’t need a new year to start exercising more, or write more (already doing it, anyway). Let’s see, if I hadn’t taken my “resolution” in summer, I’d have started working on my writing now, instead of six months earlier!
Alright, this is said in joking. However, I still haven’t listed any. They just don’t feel right. They sound like some compulsory task, like an automatism everybody has to go through because it’s a new year. Resolutions can be taken and started any day, and I’ll decide on mine when the right time comes.
In the meantime, I hope that 2006 wil be a good year for everyone!

Hehe, I found it weird that whilst we were in 2006, most of the rest of the world was still in 2005. That felt strange.
Anyway, Happy New Year.

No New Year resolutions? That’s a good resolution, Yzabel.
Hope 2006 is a spectacular year for you.

Yer, no resolutions for me either, just some plans for the year.

Thanks, everyone
Karen, I found this amusing too. Reading Australian and Japanese blogs on the 31st and seeing the 2006 date felt somewhat like the twilight zone

I never make resolutions. Well okay, I do, but never on New Years. I do it every day of the year. I’m always striving to somehow be just a little better. So it’s not ‘a resolution’ per say it’s more how I look at living life, always trying to make the best out of it.
When I let an experience pass me by, I realize it and tell myself next time the opportunity exists I’m going to go for it.
There’s always something I learning, doing, experiencing, or sometimes even letting pass by me. So I just take those experiences and try to build off them. That’s my everyday resolution, to live life as best I can.
To me that’s better than any one day resolution that is given because it’s expected of people.
So yeah…I don’t do the whole New Years Resolution thing either
