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 folks and we will just kid on, although it is really Wednesday, that it is Monday and we haven't forgotten about this thread and haven't bothered coming in to report anything.....no.....we wouldn't do a thing like that !!!!!! LOL
Actually I am exactly the same as last week.....nothing to report except getting ready for Christmas.....one week today, WOW !!!!! LOL
Hope everyone's plans are all going well and no last minute hitches for anyone and I was thinking as we are coming up to Christmas we will soon be into a New Year and I hope and wonder what New Year Resolutions Michael will come up with and maybe we should try and draw him into this thread.....one last time for this year......to tell us know how he has managed, throughout the year, in being able to keep to his Resolutions, or not, as case may be !!!! Come on in Michael ....it is an open invitation and it is your website after all for you are paying the bills, and let us know exactly what kind of year 2013 turned out to be for you !!!! :) We all know that in two respects it has been an exceptional year for you in that you turned 60 and the birth of your grandson, Dylan.....you could always make the third coming into your website......OMG, I am a trier, if nothing else !!!!!!!! LOL.
Sylvia. Your wee Scottish friend.

Hey Sylvia, we've unfortunately been buddies in idleness this month, as far as resolutions go. My daughter is visiting and we're splitting our time between doing stuf together and doing what we need to be doing. Lots of movement in the house and only the necessary is getting done. Reading your comment, I decided to revisit your initial post and want to thank you again for the fabulous descriptions, especially of Michael's #1 and #5 resolutions. Sylvia, I think you should ask Michael either on FB or Twitter, since you seem to have luck there, if he feels he's met his resolutions to the extent he wanted to. I'll tell ya, it hasn't always been perfect, but I feel I've achieved a lot personally, having to report publicly. It seems obvious to me right now that I won't have flush my reading pile by the end of the month, but if I can make myself take the time to read a little every day, this reading tortus just might make the finish line! :D Anyway, I think I've started a good thing this year and will definitely try to keep it up next year. In any case Sylvia, I believe you've mentionned recently that your early goal you gave yourself about losing the weight was met, so you can pat yourself on the back. Since hopefully, you got into a groove, the following steps won't be as hard to take. Thanks for this year's contributions Sylvia and I'm counting on you to keep it up next year! lol I have a feeling that the first 5 months should be particularly interesting... :D Take care Sylvia and good luck with the rest of your Xmas preps. Big hugs, sincerely, Sylvie QC Canada :D

Hope you are having a lovely time with Sarah visiting and I bet you are finding it is pretty good having another pair of hands to help out with all that needs doing.
Think next year is going to be pretty busy right from the kick off for do not forget those railings and a hundred other things before May.....LOL

Hey Sylvia, actually, my daughter has a list of stuff she has to do for herself, whether shopping for presents, meeting people or appointments so I'm kind of penciled in,but wedding plans tend to keep people busy... :D Yeah I know you'll have a lot to do nby May, so better get started on those railings in January! lol Take it one day at a time girl, take care Sylvia. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie QC Canada :D

Thanks Sylvia, the wedding is a long way off, but some things can not be settled over the internet and her time here is limited right now, so we're doing the best we can. Those 2 are turtle doves, so it'll be wonderful to witness their making it official. :D Take care sweetie and thanks again. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie QC Canada

Hope everything does work out and she manages to get everything done that she wants to and at least it certainly gives you something to look forward to !!! :)

Getting in here for the last day of the year as Hogmanay has dawned in Scotland; 12.30 a.m......big celebration time before the 1st . Be needing to start a new thread for 2014 and must get that tweet off to Michael asking him about his resolutions for this year and what they are for next.....wow, I am way behind; anything new, no !!!! LOL.
Nothing new either for last week so carrying everything over into next year, tomorrow.....that does seem strange saying that and definitely first resolution will be weight loss and getting back to the gym with second being those darn railings ....they are becoming a perpetual carry forward....LOL
Hoping everyone has a fantastic Hogmanay.....New Year's eve....and a wonderful, wonderful, celebration to welcome in 2014 and hoping too that, when it arrives, it proves to be the best one yet for us all !!!! :)
Have put in an animated picture which says "Happy New Year" and has a house with all trees in front which flash alternately from pink, green and white.
Sylvia. Your wee Scottish friend.
