Liberty Bell

New Year’s Day is traditionally World Day of Peace. The pope makes a message, and anyone behind them in time zones can get the message quite a bit before it’s actually the New Year. Well, they’re meant to. I’m not sure if I’ll make it– my computer’s been acting up – but if this post makes it out on New Year’s Eve, I made it.

So while I am waiting for the internet connection to start working again, I’ve decided to go through my regrets/high points of 2005, and maybe include a few resolutions.

Right now my regrets can’t get past the internet connection…
And when I’m regretting something it’s hard to think of happy things.

Maybe I should wait for a new connection…

Okay, seriously, I regret getting mad at soccer. No details available. And I regret getting my finger hurt, ‘cause I had to go to the doctor.

Internet’s still not working…

High points… hmm… one would probably be the vacation our family was able to take during the summer. It is very rare for the whole family to make it on the vacation. So that was cool. And we went to Glacier National Park in Montana, so there were lots of outdoor things today – not many museums!

That reminds me, I’m probably going to be tortured by going to the Washington State History Museum today. I love Washington, and I really like history, but I don’t like museums! There are too many people, I get headaches, the people I’m with go too fast or too slow… humph.

That’s not a very good high point.

Another high point of the year would be getting a grand piano. It’s a Bechstein, 5’7’’, from 1928 but plays beautifully.

That’s enough high points.

I’ve never been very good about New Year resolutions. I actually tried keeping mine two years ago – didn’t work! Still, I might as well make some.

Practice the piano more. (hehe, nice and vague… )

Keep my room clean

Save a bit of money each month

There ya go! I probably will kinda keep each one. They’re purposefully vague, so I won’t have too much trouble.
