Thank you, as always, for posting such an inspirational and eloquently stated entry. What a refreshing way to approach the new year.

Since I usually only do half-hearted resolutions, it is now time to think about the gifts that I will truly be giving myself this year.

I look forward to following your blog in 2010.

This fits. I just gifted myself 12 sessions with a personal trainer. I want to be stronger and fitter and I'm giving myself the tools to do that. I had been feeling a little guilty about the cost, but no so much now!

Hi,
U have a nice post!
It is so interesting and realistic !
I got many good info from it. I will share this link to friends.
Thanks for sharing !

What an excellent idea! I, too would like to give myself the gift of clean lungs, fresh air, non-smoky hair/lifestyle. I really love my gift of exercise that I gave myself a while back. And the gift of feeding myself with foods that I enjoy, and make me healthy.

I hope to gift myself a job, so I can continue the pleasure of living indoors.

Wow. What a beautiful post.
It takes three steps back and helps us see what we are really working towards. happy and healthy. The best gift I could give myself. Happily it is a gift that is easily shared with the people around me.
Thanks. This made my day/month/year.

I absolutely love this post! The gift I'm giving myself this year is a deeper relationship with my friends!

2009-12-23T10:20:53.651-05:00

This is a fabulous idea and the timing of it for me is "spot on"; it is a wonderful way of looking at things.

WHY am I crying over this post? Amazing, and you have a wonderful way of telling a story. I LOVE this way of thinking, and that's one of my gifts to myself - positive attitude about myself and the "world" in general. Lovely, lovely post thanks for sharing!!

OMG. How did you find a real life TV character friend?
How often have you watched a show and the detectives (or whomever) show up unannounced at some womans house and she is fully dressed, wearing full make-up, has an immaculate house, AND has a full tea set where she kindly offers rudely arriving unannounced guests tea and crumpets?
I have to throw on a sweatshirt if the UPS guy shows up because I'm not wearing a bra. Sometimes I wonder if I would admit firemen inside if my house were burning. A full tea set? I'm not sure I could offer you a drink in a clean glass!

Oh yeah, good post...so true. I'm still reeling from the thought of your TV friend.

And btw, I'm not a pig, we've been remodeling since Noah was born.

What the hell is a crumpet anyway?

2009-12-22T17:01:48.770-05:00

I love this post! How differently people view the world amazes me. My gift: make my body healthier by running 6 days a week.
And the picture at the top.... Calvin and Hobbes, best comic ever. (I never have really outgrown comics :))

2009-12-22T16:57:40.971-05:00

She is one heck of a smart lady! I have been trying to alter my mindset and look at it all that way too... definitely helps with warding off the Christmas goodies when you remember that good nutrition is a gift to yourself.

2009-12-22T15:14:08.543-05:00

This post was a gift to us - in learning about your friend's practices and your own musings on why we shouldn't waste time treating ourselves like kids being punished. In 2010, my gift to myself is the joy from a national book contract that will help others change their lives. Oh, and a trip to the UK with my boyfriend would be cool too.

Great way to look at it....hmmm now I'm off to think of the gifts I'm going to give myself this coming year.

This is wonderful!

Early in January I am starting classes for what will hopefully be a new career, one that I have wanted for a long time but never really had the guts to pursue.
Hubby is doing the same: the next year or so will be very busy for us both, and challenging, as well. I want to dive us both the gift of pursuing our new paths, whatever it takes.

2009-12-22T11:55:35.533-05:00

Your friend sounds insanely wise! I'd like to give myself the gift of movement this year.

2009-12-22T11:39:19.756-05:00

Your friend sounds like Miss B at a church I used to attend. We always said she was so perfect that if we weren't all Christians, we would have to hate her!

She is right, though, we should give ourselves the gifts of making things better for ourselves.

Not sure what I will do with this one yet, though.

Your post was a gift.

2009-12-22T11:35:37.098-05:00

Your post was a gift.

2009-12-22T10:41:59.182-05:00

Excellent outlook, that dear friend of yours.

I will gift myself the time I need to workout and get fit *without* feeling guilty/selfish. I am just as much of a priority as the rest of my family. Would someone tattoo that on my forehead? *sigh*

2009-12-22T10:34:32.582-05:00

Simply wonderful! This year I will gift myself with more energy and better sleep.

Well Said!

2009-12-22T10:29:26.705-05:00

Beautiful post. I like the way your friend rolls and that's probably why she's so relaxed and looks good.

As for me, I'm going to give myself the gift of compassion since I'm so hard on myself most of the time.

Awesome post!! Your friend sounds very wise. (I'm ...

2009-12-22T10:20:14.153-05:00

That's a good way to look at it -- rather than my usual way of seeing self-gifts as being more along the lines of instant gratification. (I want patience and I want it right now!)
