Enjoy these New Year musings from M.D...
 

Buh Bye 2011!

Oh where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday we were ringing in the 2011 New Year with high hopes and loads of resolutions. Little did we know, unemployment would reach an all time high, Charlie Sheen would be on a winning, tiger blood fueled crazy train; that the Arab world would have an uprising; and Occupy Wherever would be occupying everywhere! Now I don’t know if 2012 will be any better but I can promise it will be one day longer. J

 

While I made my resolutions months ago (that way I would be way ahead of the game) many still see every New Year as an opportunity to make a change for the better. Hence some simple affirmations I compiled to help you along the way:

 

1.)    Be yourself

2.)    Don’t blow with the wind

3.)    (Try to) Be positive

4.)    Never be too proud to ask for help

5.)    Think outside the box

6.)    Remember: Life isn’t always fair

7.)    Always try to make a good impression

8.)    Be kind

9.)    Choose your housemates carefully

10.)            Beauty is all around you

11.)            Be observant (in other words: Watch where you are going!)

12.)            Don’t hide your light under a bushel

13.)            Don’t be envious

14.)            Grow old gracefully

15.)            Never interrupt when you are being flattered

16.)            Plan Ahead

17.)            You can if you think you can

18.)            If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try and try again!

19.)            Forget insults, remember compliments

20.)            Be a good listener

21.)            Healthy body, healthy mind

22.)            Be a team player

23.)            Honesty is the best policy

24.)            It is better to give than to receive

25.)            Patience is a virtue

26.)            Learn to follow instructions

27.)            Always keep a great photo of yourself, even if you have to snap 118 shots to get it! :)

Happy New Year ~ M.D.
