It’s almost a couple of hours away fro the end of the first day of 2017, and I am thinking that may you can’t teach an old dog some new tricks? Mmmh, maybe I should give it a try. At least it might be fun for next year that I can write about last years resolutions that just looked good on paper(blog Paper) To tell you the truth, I am scared because over the last couple of weeks, I see that there are many celebrities that have passed, Carrie Fisher, George Michael, David Bowie, Muhammad Ali, Prince, Debbie Reynolds, Florence Henderson, Alan Thicke, Gene Wilder, Patty Duke, Dorris Roberts, Nancy Regan, Robert Vaughn, Hugh O’Brian, and Arnold Palmer, and this is for just in 2016. With the coming of Donald Trump as our new president, and the realization that maybe I should be writing my obituary.
What the Hell, or perhaps I should change that to “Am I going to Heaven?” So let’s see if I even have a chance of achieving any change with my 2017 New Years Resolutions.
A) Don’t dwell on the past. Instead of forgiving those who ripped me off, a past tenant, a relative that could of left me a lot more of an inheritance, Just Forget These Events!
B) Get my affairs in order. If I die tomorrow, it’s not fair that my wife and to dig into a big financial mess.
C) Consolidate my debts, paying off a lot of bills, so I have more money coming in.
D) Concentrate on my health issues, use my heath club more often, and listen more to my doctors.
E) Realize that everyone, does not have to be your friends, that goes for relatives, don’t be surprised if they want borrow money from you.
G) Get rid of a lot of clutter, a storage locker I don’t even remember what I have in it, an old Jaguar that hasn’t run in seven years.
H) Listen to more audio books on www.audible.com, and www.scribd.com. Go back to school, and take an online course, www.udemy.com.
I) Upload more photos on my www.photographers.digital website. I certainly don’t want to be another Vivian Maier and have all of my photos thrown away. Let my wife know that I have a dropbox account, and a www.flickr.com account.
J) Eat healthier, and drink more water.
K) Not all friends are cute little puppy dogs. My wife has reminded me on many occasions , tell me your friends are, and I will tell you who you are. Don’t feel sorry that you cannot help everyone, let the Buffets and Gates do that job.
L) Realize, that being seventy years old, is old, be fortunate that I am very fortunate to have been alive today.
M)Listen more to my wife, I couldn’t have survive this long without her. Hopefully, she can retire this year.
N) Accept the fact, that all of my projects will not be completed, I am very fortunate that I have been able to have a Apple Founders Museum concept with one of the original Apple Computer Company founder Mister Ronald G. Wayne, being able to communicate with Steve Wozniak, Daniel Kottke, and John Jandali.
O) Hopefully I can can climb two hundred more levels on Candy Saga Crunch, I am on level 1306, its my bowling league.
P) Stop trying to figure life is about. Accept that my life is just a process, I came into the world and I will leave it.
Q) Put more postings on my howiemaui.com blog, and encourage others to help me with it.
I am going to take a breather, tomorrow is another day.
