First of all:
I wish everyone a Happy, Prosperous, Peaceful and Safe New Year!!!!
Thoughts for New Year:
Choose to love—rather than hate. ~
Choose to smile—rather than frown. ~
Choose to build—rather than destroy. ~
Choose to persevere—rather than quit. ~
Choose to praise—rather than gossip. ~
Choose to heal—rather than wound. ~
Choose to give—rather than take. ~
Choose to act—rather than delay. ~
Choose to forgive—rather than curse. ~
Choose to pray—rather than despair.
I don’t like listing down New Year’s resolutions. I always forget where I put the list anyway.
It has been customary for people to equate change and fresh start with new year - hence the practice of making New Year’s resolutions. But I believe that resolutions can be made anytime of the year.
I do have plans though, one of which is to visit my parents more often. They are now old. Tatay is 87, Nanay is 86. Tatay’s memory is now fading fast. So is his appetite for food. Last Christmas, he asked: “What day is today?” When we arrived at the family home for our traditional Christmas breakfast - as I gave him a hug - he inquired: “Who are you?” And he skipped Christmas breakfast.
Another important plan is to refurbish and reorganize my house and work place - something I have long wanted to do. I want to be more organized and efficient not only for the new year but all throughout. And the best way I know to achieve this is by putting my house and work place in good order. Well, happily, I have actually already started working on this last week.
What about you? Got any plans, projects or wishes?
Again, Happy New Year to all !!! Hurry, blow the trumpets! Bring in the fireworks!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! May 2008 bring us more blessings.
I love your list. Easier said than done but definitely worth trying to fulfill.
Happy New Year to you and your family
Happy New Year to you and your family and more blessings for the coming year
a blessed new year to you and your family! i don’t really plan in detail. one thing i try to keep in mind though at the start of every year, that as much as i could, i would do everything better this time… this new year.
Happy New Year to you too! May the coming year bring you lots of luck, prosperity, love and peace! All the best in everything too!
(:
Happy New Year to you and your family, Rhoda.
I don’t make new year’s resolution either because like you said, it can be made anytime of the year. But living simply is one of my goals this year.
Happy New Year to you and your family!
Oh, I just wish more health for Nanay and Tatay. I am sure reaching such a late age means they have great health all this time.
If you ask me, my project for this coming year is how to make my teaching vocation all the more fruitful and bouyant…
Happy New Year to you, sis…
I want to be organized and efficient too. I’ve been so disorganized in my files ever since the move to my new home. So this year, they should all be in order. Happy New Year, Rhoda. One of my goals is to meet you next year.
Imagine, I met Marco already.
Wishing you and your family the best in 2008!
Happy New Year, Rhoda!
my new year’s resolution is … I’ll get back to you on that, I haven’t thought about it.
Happy New Year to you and your family, hope it is a better year for you
Wishing you happiness and prosperity in 2008. Happy New Year Rhodora.
GOD BLESS. 2007 Was great.
my perrenial NYR: I resolve not to have a new years resolution.

it’s not always working
Happy new year again!
I regularly go to the site lifehack.org where I get tips on productivity, getting-things-done and time management. But the best tip that I have gotten was summarized in 3 words: Just do it!
I guess that’s just what I have to do if I want to get a lot of things done in 2008- just do it!
Have a joyful, more productive, stress-free new year!
Pareho tayo, ako ko rin gumawa ng new years resolution. basta plano ko kumita ng makauwi uli sa Pinas sa Dec 2008
