I don't usually make new years resolutions, but the last couple weeks have sparked some changes. So here are mine.
All of these are for the next 30 days.
1. Practice 30 minutes EVERY day. (Trying to get in a couple of hours here and there isn't working. It's not giving me the progress I want for the friends I want to play with).
2. Write at least twice a week for an hour or so and finish one poem, story, or essay each week. I'm finding too much I want to say better.
3. Don't turn on the TV when I get home from work until after I've practiced some tunes and spent time writing. Its too easy a distraction even over dinner.
Hopefully these will spark some changes in my routines that will give me better music, better writting, and more time to apply to everything. I may not be able to keep them up all year but 30 days should give me some results to review and work from.

Thank God I've already made and broken mine!
The usual "watch what I eat" resolution, broken with a vengeance by the home-made Peanut Butter Blossom cookies I baked yesterday, those that have the Hershey Kiss in the center, all melty and warm from the oven.
Also the bag of butter-soaked popcorn eaten while at the movie (the Producers) with one of my sons Jan 1....
Now that that's over with, I can try for a resolution similar to Lee's, practice to a CD every day, perfecting my small repertoire of tunes. Even a half hour a day will eventually count for something...
Happy New Year, Everyone!

1) Purge the house of extraneous items (non-musical items, that is)
2) Get back to exercising (I used to run 3 miles, three times a week)
3) Play music every day.
4) Have more patience with coworkers, fellow drivers, my children, mySELF
5) Waste less time on the computer, and spend more wisely
6) Spend less money I don't have (eg: bring a lunch to work rather than eat out)
7) Pay down those credit cards!
Clean my room! (I keep telling my kids to do it, why not me??)
I'm sure I can think of more.
Now all I have to do is print this out and actually do it ....

Practice every day at least 30 minutes. I've been playing whistle for 10 years+ now and still am in the slump I hit at year three.
Attend my first session as a player. No matter how well I know a tune, I freeze when playing in front of others. I'm going to break myself of that habit this year.
Break my video game habit. Nuff said.

Later, in the early sixties when I came to Oz, I found that most of the mixed business grocers were methodists and you would be hard pressed to get any decent spices in their premises other then Highly ground sinnerman and mace.
Chilli peppers were sometimes, and only sometimes, available from Italian greengrocers and nothing like the birdseye chillies we were accustomed to in Fiji.
I made a NY resolution in 1998 to stop eating chillies with everything and I have not resiled.
