Robert Frost's poem "A Cliff Dwelling" reminds me of the people who must have lived here "Oh years ago--ten thousand years" and enjoyed the beauty and safety of a cliff. A place "to rest from his besetting fears". Welcome to mine.

Happy New Year!
I hope everybody had a good new year's eve.
I came up with several new resolutions for this year. I'll just share one. Feel free to post your New Year's resolutions also.
This new year's Beth and I were in Rexburg. We played Jeopardy and I sucked but it was fun cause Beth said I was cheating by using the internet to answer the questions. I only have one new years goal: to read The Catcher In The Rye. I have said I need to watch less tv but that never worked so I decided to make goals that did not involve watching tv this way I was accomplishing 2 goals at once but if I watch tv I don't feel guilty. Anyhow, good luck with your goal and hope to see you soon.
I've wanted to read The Catcher in the Rye but never have.
So I have prioritized my tv and decided to only have 3 shows I HAVE to watch and possibly only 2 (this depends on whether I wind up volunteering with this organization or not). My 2 must-see shows are Lost and Survivor. My third show is Medium. I had to do this, because otherwise I wind up making too many exceptions. It doesn't mean I can't watch more tv than this, but just that these are the shows I give up other activities for.
Good for you Dellitt!! I'm sure you can do more useful things than watch tv. I think too much sitting is bad for our health. I too want to do things that cause me to move!!!!!
Well, I can't say I've done a stellar job on this goal, but last week I decided not to feel the need to watch Heroes and Medium on Monday night so I could do stuff with family. We'll see how I do this week.
