New Year's Resolutions...Not Really But Perhaps Some Things "to do"....

I don't make New Year's resolutions any longer. Years ago I did... like to quit smoking. Seems I never could do it. Until a few years ago in October, not January! Maybe the time was just right in my mind!

Anyway, although I make no resolutions, here are a few "to do" list items numbered based on importance.

Meet Sandy Shores in person. Pretty sad how many ActiveRain friends I have and how few I have met in person. Sandy is a local Melbourne Florida Realtor so that should not be too hard although we both have been on here for years!
Make every person I meet smile and feel better, even if just for a brief moment, [It may be my leaving that does it but they will smile!]
Help others in any way I can. Life is indeed short and meant to be enjoyed by all.

My business is not as important as me, the person. My business is not me. Anyone who has followed me on facebook as a person - not my real estate page - knows I am, in the words of Steve Martin, a wild and crazy guy!

There are plenty of very serious folks on ActiveRain..me, I am just me.

Gary, I also did not make any real resolutions, they just get broken anyway. But... I do like the idea of smiling more.

You really can't feel bad when you are smiling... and I know I sure look younger, it's like an instant facelift!

Have a wonderful 2011, and enjoy the day on the couch today, you deserve it.

PS, in case you can't tell, I am smiling right now!

Hi Gary, I was so touched when I read this post. And, I am sooooo embarrassed that it took me this long to get over to your blog this week. The phones started ringing on January 1 and haven't stopped, so I am a bit behind in my commenting. I agree, it's time that we finally meet, especially since we live in the same county. Let's pick a day and head out to lunch. I would LOVE to! Often, we do get so busy, and spend so much time here on AR, but realize that we haven't met the people we talk to all the time. I love your other non- resolutions, #2- making everyone smile (that might be a tough one) - even if you're leaving - too funny. #3 is a great one -helping everyone you can. I think we should take more time to help each other. There is so little of that today! A wild and crazy guy, huh? Steve Martin is one of the all time greats! Looking forward to seeing you soon, but you have to promise you'll bring you Buzz Lightyear doll with you! LOL
