New Year Resolutions for 2013......with a completely NEW slant !!!
Hi folks and as we are now into 2013 and I have managed to get into MB's (couldn't last night - problems with laptop) have decided, whilst the going is good, to get this thread kicked off for another year.
Sylvie and I still believe we should follow same pattern as for last year with us setting ourselves targets of what we hope to achieve each month and of course, any number of resolutions can be followed each month as well as any number being carried over into the following month where it may end up becoming something that we want to achieve throughout the year but the main thing is that, what we set ourselves, we attempt to achieve and we lend our support to each other in trying to reach our goals.
Please consider joining us for a little bit of seriousness but Sylvie and I hope too, a huge lot of laughs throughout the year because that is, without doubt, the #1 Resolution of this thread, to have, FUN !! :)
We also believe that we should extend a very warm welcome to our very own "boss", Michael, for he has given us, so far, three of his own resolutions which he hopes to achieve this year and so we invite him to share with us on here how he is getting on achieving his goals and also, if he just wants a little bit of encouragement to keep going with his aims, we are here to support him and we want him to know that. Also if he decides, at some point in time throughout the year, to set himself another goal he is more than welcome to share it with us on here and again, we will give him all the support he needs !! :) Believe, more than appropriate to place Michael's 3 Resolutions on here along with pictures he sent and so here is the first........................
"New Year Resolution #1. Spend lotsa time with Millie & Gwenny! MB" and the picture is a beautiful one of Michael standing at a patio door, at home in Westport, holding Amelia (Millie) in his arms and it was taken at same time as the beautiful one he sent of himself sitting at table working on book with Amelia dancing in background and in this one Michael is facing camera and he is holding Amelia, who is in profile, but the beautiful thing is she has a little back-pack strapped on and she has an arm up going across strap as though showing the world; "this is mine and your not getting it" or at least trying to keep it on her shoulder for it does look a little bitty big !! :)
"New Year Resolution #2. Enjoy more golf with great buddies like Bruce & Dan. MB" and in this picture are the three of them along with, I believe MB's caddy, for it is an older picture and I am sure it is taken at one of the golf competitions and they are standing on one of the greens of the course. I will check it out and find out exactly when taken once access into my files is a little bitty easier, safer and more guaranteed than of now !! LOL.
Now for Resolution #3........
"New Years Resolution #3. Keep the reciprocal inspiration going with amazing artists like Melanie!" and this picture is a beautiful one of a close up, from waist, of MB and Melanie Fiona and Michael's smile is one of the widest and happiest that he gives and equally too, so is Melanie's......it is a beautiful picture !! :)
Here is #4......"New Year Resolution #4 continue to revel in all the greats who paved the paths. MB" and in this picture Michael is, I believe, in the Motown Museum for there are a couple of pictures on the wall and you can see a couple and I think, one is of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell and the other is of The Temptations and am now changing that thought for sure as I believe now it is in fact of Quincey Jones.....could be totally wrong, nowt new there then....and Michael is standing looking up towards what I would imagine is another picture you cannot see and at his back you can see part of a piano and that is what makes me think it is the Museum and it is the piano that was originally used in a lot of the Motown recordings and which was restored last year.
Now I believe we will have to wait for #5 and I am pretty certain there is going to be one and I wonder how many there could be in total.....7 ????? lol. Must say that I do hope Michael isn't celebrating his 60th birthday this year by pulling a joke on us all with these resolutions for.....to date.....there have been 4 and we have another 56 days till the 26th February....56 + 4 = 60......coincidence ??????? LOL. Obviously if anymore do appear I will place on here !!! :)
.........and #5 has just popped up and it is..............."New Years resolution #5 Dream bigger & bolder than ever!!" and the picture that goes along with is a wonderfully, stunningly, beautiful one and a view to get lost in anytime of the year !! :) It is looking off into the horizon and is taken at sunset and you can see a little strip of land which is dark with palm trees on and there dark shadows creep up into the sunset and just before horizon is a strip of water and you are not half way up on the picture for the following section takes you onto the horizon where the sun is setting and what is captured there would stand alone as an absolutely beautiful picture for the sky is on fire and you can feel the heat, if any could be generated from it let alone the tremendous light shining out....I know I am letting my imagination run riot but I don't believe there would be many who wouldn't see something like that looking at something so beautiful.....and then the top half of the picture is of clouds appearing dark because of the sunset and they are of all various shapes and sizes with little whispy white ones too and in between them the brilliant blue sky shining through and in some respects it is like looking at day and night in the one picture for you have the brilliance of the sky above the clouds still bathed in sunshine with the land below entering night. It is truly, truly gorgeous !! :)
We await #6 and I do not know how MB is going to top that one with the next photo !!! lol.
Hope you will all join in and more importantly, that you all enjoy this thread and cheers to you all for 2013 and may it prove to be one of the best years ever for us all with plenty of "Bolton Adventures" for us to share !! :)
Sylvie from Canada and Sylvia from Scotland.

Hi all, uh-oh, we seem to be slacking off people and the holliday frenzy is no excuse to do so! XD Well I'm happy to say that I've filed my weekly box set, but I'm afraid I've filed more than I've read this week. I'm preparing for another longer visit next month so I'll be lucky to get the box set done this week and need to buckle down for the reading. Sitting and reading is such a foreign concept! lol Audio books are so much easier than braille... Anyway, hope all is well with everyone and consistency is the order of the day. Take care and hugs to all, sincerely, Sylvie QC Canada :D

Hi Sylvie and glad you have managed to keep track of some things for I have fallen completely by the wayside; one gym trip and that was it and was going to go today but got a little caught up with other things and don't know about tomorrow for we are forecasted to have heavy rain and gales coming in tonight but I must, must attempt it for even the home exercise schedule is suffering with this darn internet....I need to switch it off and as Michael said; "Take the high road !!" and everytime I think of his sensible words I say; "and I'll tak the low road and I'll be in Scotland afore yi !!!", yeah !!!! LOL Hopefully next week and next MONDAY, I'll have a tome to write on how good the week has been .....well, I can hope, can't I ???? LOL

Hey Sylvia, well, we can't have perfect weeks all the time, can we? Wouldn't it just get boring? :D I had to check the spelling on your statement about "gales coming in"... I thought: what is Gail doing in Scotland and in such weather? lol I think we had that Sunday night since it was so unseasonably warm, but it's back down to the freezing mark for the week. Anyway, have a good one Sylvia, take care and remember to try on your top again this week! :D Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie QC Canada

LOL wondering what "Gail" "gale" was doing in Scotland....that is a good one Sylvie and hey, you never know who might just turn up in Scotland one of these bonny days !!!!!! LOL.
Don't tell anyone ....BUT....I have started shopping and not all Christmas shopping either.....done a little bit of "MB concert time" shopping and bought myself a new top I could not resist and now I just have to get the trousers/pants to go along with and I have already seen them ...... one out of six outfits nearly complete !!! LOL Here is another little secret, I bought a pair of shoes....couldn't resist.....now I just have to get the whole outfit to go with them.....ROFL....and another one bites the dust !!!!! LOL.

Hi again Sylvia, glad to hear you are shopping for yourself! Come on, admit it: it was fun, wasn’t it? XD Now I know it won’t be sweltering just yet, but remember your concerts are in May. So whatever happened to the old top in your closet, too old? Last week, I went shopping with my daughter on my birthday money and have a choice of 3 tops for the concert. My daughter told my husband they really looked nice on me and he pouted that I hadn’t bought them for his benefit... lol Well Sylvia, I want to wish you good luck scratching outfits off your list but just remember: once you’ve bought them, you’re locked into that size, okay? Just trying to keep you on the right track. ;D Take care sweetie. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie QC Canada :D

Glad to hear you have started shopping for your concert too and that you have been successful with three tops....terrific !!! :)
I will admit it was fun deciding I was going to buy top and then going in and finding it fitted me but I am not a shop person Sylvie. I had seen it in window of local shop for a while and then, as I said, couldn't resist any longer. Most of our clothes shops are small and therefore you can pick up any seasons clothes at any time because they don't have the room nor the turnover to go totally with the seasons. Might go further afield to view the larger stores next year but it will be treated as a day out not just a shopping spree for those I don't do !!! LOL Give me a catalogue with lovely stuff and I am perfectly happy and having the internet is fantastic for that. On the "old" top it is definitely still on the back burner and as I need 3 outfits to take with me initially, it is still in the running !!!! :)
Sylvia. Your wee Scottish friend.

LOL SYLVIE.....I have been very good in the NOT shopping area this fall. I have a couple of ideas with what I do already have on hand. I did purchase a new sweater a few weeks ago only because the shop sent me a gift certificate to get me back in the store. I spent $5.00 above the cost of the sweater and zipped out the door and quickly on to the car :))...good for me ;)). Have to save for my trip to Durant in 21 days to be exact :))!!
Big Hug,
Kathy :) -

Hey Sylvia, I do understand not being a shop person because it might seem a huge bother to some people. The point is not to spend a lot of money, but just to find something that looks good on you, to put a little spring in your step. :D Good luck with the rest Sylvia, take care. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie QC Canada :D
