They Tried To Clip My Wings, But Wisdom Reveals So Many Things...

Poor Jazzy- she did some heavy New Year's Eve partying.....
I was going to write this all encompassing Christmas/New Years post but I decided against it. Instead I will be selfish and list my wants for 2005.
For 2005:
1. I will stop whining (or at least doubting silently) and create art that expands my mind and takes me out of my comfort level
2. I will get on my current business plan and I will show myself that I am in charge and I can do more than paint a little
3. I will stop doubting any of my abilities- little or big
4. I will give everyday my all- 100%
5. I will forget about the negative and remember the positive
6. I will not forget to educate myself along the way- (sometimes I forget that I used to really enjoy reading and learning on my own. I visited the book store today, bought six books and am already done with one- and it felt good to know that my mind can still think critically).
7. I will get more involved (in my life, in my choices, in my community)
8. I will learn to love myself (this is going to be a hard one)
9. I will get up off my ass and work steadily on this website so that it shows current work as well as older stuff
10. Most importantly, I will strive to be better in relationships ( I apologize to all of you who have experienced my short-comings personally- you know who you are). I realize now that although I would have done anything for you- I failed to give myself fully and that was probably the most important. I can only hope to learn and get better with every chance I take.
Happy New Years....
Oh yeah, since I did get a digital camera for Christmas- I want to take real pictures of the so-called "OC" and show people that its not all about the rich and opulent.

Wow - those are great resolutions - I think all of us need to work on these - I love you and respect you - Mom
