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.

Hey Sylvia, aren’t you glad you had all this time to plan? :D I’m happy for you that you’ve sorted that out quickly! Your montage sounds cool Sylvia, thanks for the description. I guess you’ll have to pull that page out again next May. :D Heehee Sylvia, you always have a colourful way of describing your epiphanies, good luck with your insentive! Well you seemed to have had a good deal of success with your yoga before, so maybe try and keep that up? Along with being consistent with the gym, slowly but surely, you should get somewhere. :D Well on my side, making a dent in the Braille pile was easier than I thought, which made me wonder why I hadn’t done it before. Now all I need to do is leave the next set lying around in my way: the phrase “out of sight, out of mind” takes on a whole new meaning for me... :D I didn’t actually file away a boxset this week, but the equivalent in single CD’s, so should file that up nicely this week. I think I’ve mentioned before that I file my CD’s alphabetically, so it’s a 3 day journey to put them in order! Lol That’s it for now Sylvia, again, good luck with your insentive! Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie QC Canada

Thought for once I would get in here on a Monday and have just thought it is a new month and I have forgotten to take picture of our little calendar page......will need to rectify that pretty soon !!!! LOL
Again I haven't much to report from last week except that I did go to gym and I have increased exercise regime at home and today sun is splitting the sky here although it is darn cold for we had out first night of frost but by tomorrow temperature has to go back up and rain coming in.....surprise, surprise so I am in actual fact having my lunch break right now from the garden where I am thoroughly enjoying myself, eventually getting some of my shrubs cut back, for the winter !! Have to definitely report one wee thing that has made me a happy bunny for this week and yesterday I did the big weigh-in and got the surprise of my life for I have lost .........drum roll please........4 POUNDS.......applause, applause, applause !!!!! LOL. OMG I could not believe it...thought I had lost something but 4 pounds, wow.....yeah, don't call me Little Miss Dynamite just Wee Miss Determined. I am so pleased because I stuck hard and rigid to that diet last week and even took it a little further and to see it pay off so quickly......yipeeeeeee !!!!! LOL Probably next week I'll be here in tears. I'll have put it all back on but let's celebrate just now for this week can take care of itself !!!! ROFL
Sylvia. Your wee Scottish friend.

Hey Sylvia, take a bow girl: applause applause applause! lol Congratulations on all counts! I don't know what was your insentive but it worked so keep it up! Quickly now on my side, the braille pile is going very well and the box set was filed. I'm not sure how this week will go because I'm supposed to get some visitors: whether it's only the guy reculking the bathroom or my sister finally remains to be seen, but I'll do my best. If worse comes to worse, she can help me with the braille pile! lol Good luck with consistency Sylvia and have a great week. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie QC Canada :D

Hey Sylvia, you see, that's what you should put as a calendar page: an updated page every week, updated with your applied gold stars... Too much pressure? XD Just checking. Take care Sylvia and keep your eye on the ball! Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie QC Canada :D

There might end up being tooooooooooooooooooooooooo many gold stars to fill up the calendar page and wouldn't want to start putting them on MB's picture and only trouble is Sylvie that I already use the calendar pages as that is my "official" Michael Bolton Tour Schedule Calendar and there basically isn't enough room to put any gold stars especially not next month for all the wee boxes filled up with concerts .....LOL. Wouldn't have been too much pressure for I am definitely one determined little lady and I am cruising to the first stone coming off and then we will start working on the next !!!!!! LOL

Thanks Mary and I was at that gym again today.......burned up some rubber on that treadmill and it is a great feeling how at 62 you can start having the illusion that you actually stand a chance of getting back to what you looked like at 22; only trouble is I don't believe that is called reality for I think it borders on senility......LOL

Hi all, well I'm writing as it's still technically Monday. However, I'm writing just for show because my sister was visiting last week and all I got done was my walking, resolution/goal wise. Back on the chain-gang this week. I hope all went well for you all. Take care and hugs to all, sincerely, Sylvie QC Canada

Hey Sylvia, glad to hear things are going so well for you, keep up the good work! Yeah, my sister's visit was terrific: we "watched" each other's movies, listened to our common favorite music like teenagers and I even sold her Jacques Brel! XD Keep your eye on the ball Sylvia and keep trying on that special top once a week! :D Take care and have a good one. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie QC Canada
