I respect people who look thoughtful and listen to other people's comments before saying something, then I wonder, why didn't I do that!!?? Thanks Natalya for the compliment on my sketch!

I grew up that way and I can listen well that way too, but it is rude and I try to control the behavior. shucks. When I assess conversation in retrospect, I usually get bummed at myself when I interrupt. I interrupt when excited too.

Reminds me of a story that a painter friend of mine who says you should paint or draw what you want to happen (rather than make lists) and it will. I also like the term Road Maps. That's a really good way to put it! haha Kim, I love the idea of drawing you with your mouth shut.

Maybe I should do a drawing of me with my mouth shut So maybe I should replace #3?? First resolution I ever kept I do set goals and those are like road maps of where I want to be in the future. Goals don't seem to take a fundamental change in attitude, just making the best of the resources and gifts you have. Resolutions take a little grit Last year my husband and I resolved to know somebody at the art car ny eve party this year...we knew a lot of the creative people there last night and that has enriched our lives. I suppose that seems like goal setting but it really required an attitude change, a willingness to take a few chances. kim Those should be mine this year too #1 will be hardest and #3 well I almost draw every day now.

Anyway, I think it is important to send a few tangible things, esp. when I look back through special notes and things that I and members of my family have saved over the years. Thanks for the comments! Hi Judy,

I am always impressed when I receive a hand written thank you note. Why is it that it is so much easier to email a thanks? In several senses, however, the emailing really isn't so bad: saves on paper, a precious resource; and saves on postage. Hmmmm, now I have created a dilemna for myself!! I would have thought that you drew everyday. I love the teahouse sketch. I interrupt because I'm always afraid that I will forget what I have to say if I don't blurt it out right then! You are too young for that nonsense! Happy New Year! I agree with you both re resolutions and goals. I am always impressed when I receive a hand written thank you note.

If I'm going to start drawing daily, I'll have to post some to keep me motivated, it always helps me to get feedback. Also I'm thinking about making a slight change in the focus of my blog, so we'll see how that goes. Thanks for the encouragement. Hi Gerrie,

Resolutions are more about personal habits that you want to change whereas goals are things you want to accomplish in your life. I hope you show us more drawings. I really enjoy them.
