New Year Resolution

I decided I will try to be nicer to people in 2007. Paula told me that my sinister remarks and crude comments are just plain rude (even though I really don't mean some of them). I'm a people-watcher and one thing people-watchers do is make fun of others. Real fun. And when I make fun of someone, I don't hold back-- I just say whatever I want.. just not to their face. I just enjoy erecting a little fun at the expense of others.

Until now.

Beginning today, I'm going to be very nice to everyone. No more poking fun and no more snide remarks. A very good friend of mine (Dr. Roozbeh Dodhi) used to fill his pocket every single day with "good deeds, good thoughts, and good words." Here are a few examples of what you might hear me say this year:

• You look great today!
• Wow! Did you lose 10 pounds?
• I'm glad I ran into you. I was just thinking how nice it would be to see you!
• Did you read my mind?! You're awesome.
• Did you get your hair done or are you having an amazing great hair day?
• Your eyes are sparkling! Thanks for the cheer!
• I can't wait to hear more...
• Wow! You smell great.
• The whole room brightened up when you walked in! Do it again!
• I'm glad I'm your friend. It makes my life so much more exciting!
• I hope one day I have a vocabulary as elegant as yours.
• Your not just cool, you're classy!

Happy New Year to All! I hope everyone prospers and gets all they dream for in 2007.

Peace.
