Today, I was watching some motorcyclists on the highway and I thought to myself, I think I will learn to ride a motorcycle in 2009. Do you have a "To-Do" list of things that you want to try in 2009? I do!

In 2009 I will try to complete writing my novel. I will try to work really hard at learning Spanish which I began in 2007. If I keep learning it for the next five years I will hopefully become fluent. I gave up learning to drive a car because the driving test was so challenging, so in 2009 I hope to have another go at it. I will do some clearing again this weekend to get my house ready for 2009. Happy New Year. Good luck with learning to ride a motorcycle. A movie you might enjoy is called The Motorcycle Diaries.

Don't give up some easily, maybe there's an alternative to taking the driving test, have you asked the motor vehicle dept. I was told the best way to learn another language is to be around it. I'm cheering you on with the completion of your novel and I hope you will get it completed in 2009. Let me know when you get it published. Good luck with the house cleaning! LOL.

I have been waiting for this year to be over because it has been such a bad year for me. I am hoping that next year will be an improvement.
I have been giving some thought to making lists of things I need to improve upon to try to get by. I am at a stage in my life where I don't feel that I have much more to offer and anything I could have accomplished is now beyond my reach.
However, after reading your question I have started to think in a new direction. Maybe instead of trying to improve where I am in life, I should start something completely new.
Anyway I think I will give that some more thought because I surely haven't accomplished everything I had ever dreamed of doing. Maybe I need to dust off some of those dreams.

Thanks for the BR. I really am dusting off a couple of those dreams and taking them in a new direction. On the other hand I am letting go of a couple that I should have buried a long time ago. "A man must know his own limitations." I don't know who said that but I always thought it was profound.

OK. I'll try nothing new in the 2009 - but just stick to what I have been doing till now. Obviously, I'll try to make full use of my resources in 2009. In 2008 at times I believe I could not deliver the maximum because of a widely fluctuating mood which would toss a lot up and down. Hope I'll be able to have a better control over my mood in 2009. That's it.
