Friday's Top Ten

My top ten New Year's Resolutions:

10. Get dressed before noon at least one day a week.

  9. Eat chocolate once every other day.

  8. Stop sassing my muse.

  7. Stay away from cute little shops except on the weekends.

  6. Listen to our dogs.

  5. Drink wine only with meals.

  4. Quit rehashing openings and endings.

  3. Believe in myself.

  2. Laugh.

And my #1 New Year's Resolution:

  1. Have Faith.

I really must get at those resolutions. My year won't be complete until I've broken them all.

Perfect! Especially since you crossed out that "other" and "only." ;)

Happy New Year! May your 2012 be full of only the best things.

Ahhh, faith=belief without proof. It's often difficult to achieve, but I'd be nowhere without it.

I also think hope is equally important. There were time when it was the only thing that kept me writing. Hope that someday I'd finish my book, that I'd be published, and last but not least, that a random reader would enjoy my story. Glad hope runs eternal.

Also, I like #5. Wine is good for the heart. It's a win-win situation.(: Wishing you all the best this New Year.

Great list, Carol. You inspired me to write mine. Faith is a great one, and #4 is a personal favorite, laughter is a must. Happy New Year!

#10 made me laugh as soon as I started to read your list LOL. Great list, you always manage to make me smile or laugh, and be touched at the same time.

Happy New Year to you, Carol!

Julie - Good. Laughter and smiles are always good.

Escellent list. I've got some quotes to help you stick with your list on my blog.

1,2 and 3 are especially important. Think I'll add #5 to my list, but #10 requires more thought. ;)
