Sadly, I don’t have any pithy pearls of wisdom with which to ring in the new year, but I will put forth a few things, dare I say, resolutions, that I plan to incorporate into the daily routine for 2008.

1. Floss. This is my resolution for 2007 and it was a lot harder that I thought it was going to be. Seriously, flossin’ ain’t easy. And I was just going for flossing period, not twice a day or after every meal. Just picking up the floss whenever you see it and doing it. Yeah, that went the way of the dodo about April. So, we’re going to give flossing a try. Again. Here’s to my dental health!

2. Putting myself on the list. Far too often, I’ve got a to-do list several pages long filled with things that I’ve got to do, need to do, want to do and have to do — for everyone else in my life. I’ve got to put Hilary on the list and make sure the things that are important to me get done, too.

3. Be a better woman, wife and mother, in that order. That’s the order in which I assumed these roles, that’s the order in which I need to focus my attention.

4. Forgiveness, and I don’t mean a la Samantha James. I’m totally stealing this from LibbY because her message is so potent and something I didn’t know I needed to do for myself and others.

So with that, peace out, 2007. It’s 10:35pm and I’m not even going to stay up to see you out properly. I’m on my way to bed, but I’ve got to floss first.
