New Year, Same Old Me
So it's the new year once again and all I can hope for is more of the same. Instead of being one of those people with lofty goals and aspirations for the new year I just hope this year is no worse than the last. What I mean by that is not that last year was bad...I just hope things will be at least like the past year. I don't do the whole resolution thing and I don't have dreams of what I hope this year has in store for me. I just want to be content.
Does the fact that I'm content with the hum drum make me boring? Unmotivated? I'd like to think it's that I'm satisfied with my life the way it is. I don't need to quit smoking, lose weight, exercise more or do any of that stuff all the T.V. people are shoving down my throat. I have my faults but a silly resolution isn't going to fix that and besides...who doesn't have any faults? I just want to be content and if content equals boring and unmotivated then so be it.

I personally rather enjoy the current YOU and wouldn't want YOU to change a thing!
Happy 2008...

Sometimes, it's hard to want for more.
Linda D.: aww shucks...
MDMHVONPA: I know what you mean. It always makes me think I may jinx things...
In some respects, I agree.
It would be nice to get by, not get any worse and eat and drink myself into a senseless stupor (and my wife provides me with plenty of, uh, fodder. :-)
But I'm just too driven for that. There's some thing that drives me to tell everybody around me so they don't make the same mistakes I did.
Hence I'm blogging and podcasting. :-)
Charles: I have my moments where I'm driven but they seem to be too few and far between these days. I'm glad you are keeping up the podcasting thing and that you have the motivation to do it. You give me hope...lol
I don't think that not making resolutions means you are boring or unmotivated. Actually I think the opposite. I am not big on resolutions either as I don't see the point. I figure take things day by day and do your best. :)
Happy New Year!

Jaime: Thanks...my feelings exactly. :)
Being content is a good thing. Much of the unhappiness in the world is from those who feel the need/desire for more, more, more. And even then they are rarely content. Enjoy your life and your family. Contentment is Budda-like. It is the most fulfilling.
