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.

Not at the moment is not expected nor Françoise nor I went to Monaco on 3 August. I have just made of humor, saying that Françoise fesait rollerblading at the news for Monte Carlo, so it was thoughtful, anyway thank you to Sylvia and Sylvie for your messages for Françoise is very nice and adorable
Non pour l'instant il n'est pas prévu que ni Françoise, ni moi allions à Monaco le 3 aôut. Jai juste fait de l'humour, en disant que Françoise fesait du roller en apprenant la nouvelle pour Monte carlo, donc qu'elle était pensive, en tout cas merci à vous Sylvia et Sylvie pour vos messages pour Françoise, c'est trés gentil et adorable
merci sylvie et sylvia

Hi Sylvia, well that explains why the forum was so quiet this morning... I’m glad to hear it was temporary though. We get so attached to our routines, don’t we? Hey girl, congratulations on getting back to where you were before: at least, it’s not square 1! :D Sylvia, I’d like to ask: is it just the sweets that get you off the wagon? Personally, as a general rule, I have a sweet dessert at lunch (so I have time to work it off) and fruit for dessert at night. When I feel I’ve strayed too often, I start writing down in a document, everything I eat during the day, as if I had to show it to someone, which guides me back to the straight and narrow. I know how you feel though... Last week, I surprised myself, craving potato chips, but just before I grabbed the bag, I remembered I had a bag of freshly cut vegys, so I grabbed that instead and I was so proud of myself! Lol Kudos on passing those donuts, by the way! :D Well I hope the news that your grandma hadn’t been to the poorhouse cheered you up some. Good luck on getting a good lead on your grandpa’s side though. Kudos again for getting started on the outside cleaning, I’m sure that’ll be a job and a half! Well on my side, the walking is still good, although 1 day I walked only ½ hour, although I did walk way more on other days. I’m almost done filing CD’s, aside for the operas, but that’s because I got into a bit of reading last week and filed 2 books away. The computer filing is still arduous and some days, I only file a few, so the habit is not fully anchored yet, but I’m trying and it does get done. All right Sylvia, good luck setting goals for staying active and away from the sweets! :D Take care and have a great week. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie Qc Canada

Hi Sylvie and you are by any chance saying I am "noisy" ????? ROFL Couldn't even start to deny that one for it would all be lies if I did !! LOL
Glad to hear that you are still doing some of the things you set yourself and most definitely a little bit everyday is far, far better than nothing so I think you deserve a pat on the back for even doing some: maybe though I have an ulterior motive in heaping praise on you Sylvie in that I hardly get anything started, let alone done, for I am one of the biggest procrastinators about and can always be heard saying; "manana, manana !!! " LOL. Forgot to say that I have still been out walking quite a bit so very, very pleased with that and am feeling the benefit of too for have been increasing pace to see how much lungs will take and it is getting better before out of puff.
You are a naughty girl Katia.....telling jokes and having fun on here......hey, that is not allowed....LOL Good one Katia for I definitely thought you were serious and I do wish that one of you could go to Monaco.....if I win lottery I will take you.....promise !!!! :) I used to work with a girl who had a rather rich husband and she only worked to get out of the house and keep herself alert in what she had trained to do but for romantic weekends away he used to take her to Monaco....all of us were GREEN with envy.....yeah, rich boys play room !!! lol.
Tu es une vilaine fille Katia... raconter des blagues et s'amuser ici... Hé, pas autorisé...Un Katia bon LOL pendant j'ai certainement pensé que vous étiez sérieux et je ne souhaite pas que l'un d'entre vous pourrait aller à Monaco... si je gagne la loterie je vous prendrai... promets!!! J'ai l'habitude de travailler avec une fille qui avait un mari plutôt riche et elle travaille seulement pour sortir de la maison et le donjon s'alerte dans ce qu'elle a formés à faire mais pour week-end romantique loin, il a utilisé de l'emmener à Monaco... nous étions tous verts de jalousie... Ouais, salle de jeux pour les garçons riches!!! lol.
Sylvia. Your wee Scottish friend.

Hey Sylvia, thanks for the pat on the back. :D I am happy with the fact that some gets done every day, but as I said, I wish it could be more. Oh yes, I'm very familiar with the procrastination, which is why some computer filing gets done late at night! lol Well you see: you did accomplish something and congrats on the walking and that doesn't cost anything! :D I suspect you'll enjoy walks better than going to the gym since it's finally warming up anyway. Well good luck in keeping up with good habits and wrestling the "procrast bug". :D Take care Sylvia. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie Qc Canada

Sylvia,
yes, I am a French naughty gir and blonde!!!!l, but when my Françoise fell and broke her arm, I wanted to be humorous to avoid her feel sad. Oh for Monte Carlo, I love both went with Frances, but for now things of life are that it can not be a project. Both, it would make us so good to have a project and see MB in concert would be wonderful, but for the moment it is not possible
Have a good week Sylvia et vive le Loto !!!!
oui, je suis une vilaine fille française et blonde, mais quand ma Françoise est tombée et s'est cassée le bras, j'ai voulu faire de l'humour pour éviter qu'elle se sente triste. Oh pour Monté Carlo, j'aimerai tant y allé avec Françoise, mais pour l'instant les choses de la vie font que ce ne peut pas être un projet. Toutes les deux, cela nous ferait tellement du bien d'avoir un projet et voir MB en concert serait merveilleux mais pour le moment ce n'est pas possible

Allo Françoise, je suis contente de te lire! Pauvre cocotte, je sais ce que c’est : je ne regarde pas ou je vais non plus… ;D Tant mieux si Katia t’aide : qu’est-ce qu’on ferait sans nos amies du forum? J’espère que tu vas pouvoir lire le forum au moins : on ne voudrait pas que tu manques quoi que ce soit! Enfin, prends bien soin de toi ma belle et reviens-nous vite en pleine forme! Gros bisous et câlins, sincèrement, Sylvie Qc Canada <3

Hi all, seems I'm the first one here today, but hope it's because you're all out being active and enjoying great weather. It's supposed to get up to 20 Celsius or about 72 Farenheit here today and my windows are already open: thank goodness for spring! Well for my part, walking is still good, though some days I'd like to walk more than an hour, but guess I can't have everything. The computer filing is still hard to buckle down and I did skip a day because I was too busy otherwise, though I did compensate again the next day. It feels like I could almost copy-paste my post from week to week. I have to say that making myself write in a journal how many I've filed every day encourages me that I'm inching along. I want to try finishing my CD pile next week because I don't think I can do it by the end of this week. I'm working on goals for next month too. I hope everyone's week went well and that you've made some progress, or at least that you didn't fall back into bad habits... :D Take care and hugs to all, sincerely, Sylvie Qc Canada

Bonjour sylvie,
Bon bé, voilà, moi j'ai atteint mon objectif perte de poids, maintenant il faut passer au maintien. Pour ma belle Françoise, elle est rentrée lundi dernier, chez elle, mais elle n'a pas trop le moral vu qu'elle est bloquée, son bras opéré est dans une attelle et elle ne peut pas bien dormir à part sur son canapé. Il lui faudrait certes beaucoup de patience pour consolider sa fracture de l'humérus mais ensuite de la rééducation, donc je pense trés fort à elle. Nous ici ma belle sylvie, il pleut donc ce n'est pas très joyeux, j'ai vu que tu arrivais à faire des balades et c'est vrai que cela doit te faire du bien. A la fin de la semaine, vendredi 3 mai c'est l'anniversaire de mon fils Matéo, il a douze ans, et cela me fait drôle de le voir grandir!! je te fais de gros bisous et je te souhaite plein de petits bonheurs pour cette semaine, prends soin de toi et des tiens, a bientôt
Here, I have reached my goal weight loss, now you have to go to maintain. To my beautiful Françoise she returned last Monday at her, but she too has no moral because it is blocked, his arm is in a splint made and she can not sleep well apart on the sofa. It certainly would have to much patience to consolidate its humerus fracture rehabilitation but then, so I think very hard at it. Here my beautiful Sylvie, so it rains it is not very happy, I saw that you managed to make strolls and it is true that you should do good. At the end of the week, Friday, May 3rd is the anniversary of my son Mateo, he was twelve years old, and it feels strange to see it grow! I make you big kisses and I wish you all much happiness for this week, take care of you and yours, soon
katia
