What Not To Do in 2011
Hi,
Keeping on with the resolutions theme, I started to think of the things that I don't want to do this year and boy o' boy is that list loooong. I figured that the little brain can only do so much so if I am adding resolutions I'd better subtract a few things too. So here we go. In 2011, I will not:
1. Say yes to everything that I'm asked to do. It is time to be a bit more discriminating even if it ends up hurting feelings.
2. Feel guilty for not passing on all those Jesus emails.
3. Hang with those who offer no stimulation - mentally, emotionally or any of the other "allys" we use. I have to admit that I do know some users and abusers who must be quietly phased out of my life. Actually it may be easier than I think since if I cannot give them what they want I rarely see them.
4. Tell myself that what I need and want is impossible to obtain.
5. Feel awful about growing old in a space where "d youts" seem to be the only ones recognized. I'm growing old whether or not I like it so I've got to learn to enjoy it more.
6. Analysis the love out of everyone who comes my way. I have a penchant for analysing everything and it might just be screwing me the wrong way. I'll try to go with the flow when it comes to romance. Now that is pretty scary because I don't really understand the machinations of romance anymore. You can see that I don't understand because who calls it romance anymore? (chuckle).
There are probably a lot more things I should not do but that means I have to analyse myself and isn't that what I am not supposed to do too much of? I feel I'll be busy trying to get into the regime described above.
Think about it. Do you need to make a 'what not to do list'? Talk to me.

Hey jin jin
ReplyDelete1.its about time you stop saying yes to everything
2. as for those Jesus emails, i stopped passing on most of them, only a few that are meaningful and make sense. I stopped feeling guilty about that.
3. at my age - from yesterday's birthday - ain't nothing you can do about it, just love it, and feel good
4. i stopped making resolutions years ago. i know that there are certain things that i have to do. when the time comes i get it done, if i can't, well i just can't
5. your true friends have your back
