<p>I love how January 1st is filled with sheer <em>possibility</em> - I know that in reality every day, every minute even, is filled with the same amount of possibility as today is - but I like the fact that we all start with new calendars on the same day. So sue me.&#0160; I fall for the New Year&#39;s hoopla every year.</p>

<p>Today has been a day of decluttering and thinking about what I want to accomplish in 2008. It helps that there is nothing better to do, what with everything being closed for the day and snow threatening (yet again). I always make New Year&#39;s resolutions, and I&#39;ve learned that it is best to make them specific - vague just doesn&#39;t motivate me much.</p>

<p>I don&#39;t feel like posting my resolutions here - mostly because I&#39;m still working on them, but I hope that you are also inspired to set some goals for yourself. It&#39;s important to have something to look forward to - which reminds me, my resolutions are always things I want to do and will enjoy- there&#39;s no point in planning to punish yourself. But I&#39;ve found that unless I make a plan to do something - even if it&#39;s something pleasurable - it somehow gets lost in the everyday, so I&#39;m spending today thinking about what would make 2008 great* and I&#39;m going to figure out how to do it.</p>

<p>Then my son and I will make <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/lime-glazed-cookies?autonomy_kw=lime%20cookies&amp;rsc=header_3">some</a> <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/deliciously-outrageous-chocolate-cookies">cookies</a>.</p>

<p>Wishing you a wonderful year!</p>

<p>*am I the only one that&#39;s tired of hearing &quot;great 08&quot;? Sorry! I couldn&#39;t help myself.</p>
