1. Health vigilance
Basically, I wanted to not die in surgery in January, and to recover from it with reasonable alacrity. And I did, so this one's a win. The fact that I haven't gotten the plague or fallen down a flight of stairs in the months since is simply bonus.
2. Apply for grants.
Did it.
3. Devote an hour a week to current events.
Failure. Utter and complete failure. I may be a bad person.
4. Get a real job.
Got one.
5. Read lots and read joyfully.
Um, this isn't a real resolution, of course I read. A few books I dragged myself through when I probably should've just stopped. Perhaps more work on the joy next time.
6. Make a blog.
Hey, whadaya know!
7. Travel!
New York and Ottawa, huzzah. Maybe I'll dream a little bigger next year!
8. Practice gratitude.
Um, this one seems in retrospect a bit airy-fairy. Hard to tell how I'm really doing on it. I think ok.
9. Write a book.
Hey, I did that one too.
Whoo, 7.5/9, perhaps my best year ever. Am I softballing myself, should I try for greater things? Stay tunned for the 2008 resolutions--maybe I'm going to climb the side of a building or something!!
You be 1948 / I'll be 1981

Proof that you're exceptional. Scientific proof, or at least statistical proof (which is a science?). Happy new year!
