Oh boy, I was duped getting here...I saw that George Carlin picture at Inner Life and had to click it, hoping he was back from the dead to do another HBO special in 2011.

All great ideas, in theory. However, a cancer called capitalism stands in the way of implementing any of them.

Sleep? I've heard of sleep. How does one go about getting this sleep thing everyone keeps taking about?

*yawn* My dryer buzzer went off! Time to rotate laundry ! Then its time unload the dishwasher and start getting dinner ready! After that it will be time to force my kids to grumpily get organized to go back to school tomorrow and then wrestle them into the bathtub and eventually bed.

The fun never ends!

Have a successful and fulfilling 2011, you guys. A new year doesn't offer you anything that any new day can't, though, so take advantage the 365 opportunities for new beginnings this year.

"Commemorate your birthday in 2011, mark an important anniversary and honor your latest trip around the sun! Make 2011 the year you no longer fear growing older -- celebrate it!"
.... its not that I fear getting older, its the freaking aches and pains I'd rather not celebrate.

I like this one "Come up with your own personal mantra and carry it with you through the new year." I ask my client to name this year as if it was a book in a series or one chapter in a book. I like the idea of a mantra. Seems like a handy touchstone.

These are good. I'd include prayer with that meditation....

I liked the list - I do most of them already - but the "things you love about yourself" one sounded tacky. It came across less as being happy in your own skin as an "I love me, who do you love?" ego thing.

Naw, if you read it as if you know you don't do enough to properly care for yourself, as you would someone else.

Did not see redefine morality to do what I want and not feel guilty about it.

Do dogs count for those hugs?

In my world they do!! ; ))

I sit on the floor to brush my Zoe girl; she sits in front of me. She is so polite and sweet, I always just want to hug her!

My first dog in decades and I guess I'm a little surprised by how wonderful she is.

The food coloring will give you cancer, the sugar will give you diabetes, and the candle can potentially burn your house down. Vote Republican if you value your life.

The first sentance was funny. The second one was stupid.

"Vote Republican if you value your life.” because GOP is so supportive of the EPA, health care for all, etc. riiiight.
