We measure our lives in different ways and once a certain period has passed and a new one appears ahead, we feel the need of some resolution. To analyze the past, then make plans and set goals for the future. I have personally made resolutions at the beginning of a new year, at the beginning of a new school year, on my birthday, whenever I did something I considered wrong and I never wanted to do something similar again.

There were times when I thought, as I’ve also noticed in others, that such resolutions are a waste of time. Other times, I just figured they provide a pretty good opportunity for a quick recap, to see where I am and think of where I want to be. I know I can make strict lists and nothing might happen according to plan, because life is hectic and situations and circumstances change everyday. But I can still define a pattern to follow.

My birthday was last week. I had the time of my life although day to day problems and annoyances didn’t stop just because it was that special day of the year when I get older and not necessarily wiser Joanna of Confident Writing whose birthday is two days from mine also introduced me to the best birthday song ever! I got a cool camera and made myself this great present I’ll tell you about in a couple of months.

Yes, I made the much needed resolution. Not on paper, not on my computer. I just closed my eyes and thought of where I wanted to be next year. And I am pretty sure I’ll get there!

How often do you stop to analyze what’s been going on and think of what you want to do next?

As you have noticed, the Sunday Brunch is missing and I’ve been awfully quiet for longer than I usually am. Well, the simple reason is I spend most of my Sunday in a police station as some idiot hit my car. He was the guilty one, he got a fine, but I still was forced to deal with quite a hassle.

For those of you who don’t know, I had only gotten my car back from the repair shop on Friday, after two and a half months of waiting for my beloved Little Mushroom. So imagine my joy when I realized I had to drive through a city with impossible traffic because of the NATO Summit to get everything arranged with the insurance company of that extremely smart driver.

I’ll be back here shortly, less annoyed and tired. In the mean time, please don’t be upset with me for promising you brunches that don’t happen
