And indeed, in the immortal words of Bon Jovi, living on a prayer. Half of 2009 has disappeared already. Insane. I was at home in Clare for the weekend & as the peacefulness of the place often allows, I had some much-required head-clearning time & space.

I thought back over resolutions made at the start of the year. I’ve never been very good at keeping them but I was pretty determined to do my best this year. It would appear I’m not doing too badly but could do with a mid-way kick up the rear to make sure I get the remainder to completion.

I’m hoping that buy throwing them out into the great wide open internet that those I encounter over the next while will bug me about one or two of them from time to time. Here’s the list (in no particular order):

• get a full driving license
• buy a car
• learn to dance – set, tango or salsa
• sing – as in put it to use by joining a choir
• learn to become kick-ass at my job
• read at least one book cover to cover
• call my Nana more & keep in touch with all the family a bit better
• make my dad take a holiday
• lose a few pounds
• meet more rocking people 
• give more of my idle time to those who need it
• put even more faith in my gut
