Hi Therese,
I am in full agreement with “Being Real” (as much as it might hurt) I’m in the process of getting my official “Toothless Old Fool On The Hill” photo shoot finished( before it has to be The Bald, Toothless,Old Fool On The Hill). I’m having a lot of resistance from my friends and especially my wife, who keeps telling me “You can’t do that, it’s awful!” … “Hey ! What you see is what you get ! I ain’t tryin to BS anybody … Of course why you would marry anybody like me is very questionable, except to prove “Love is blind!” (and stupid too!) The only one that agrees with me is my youngest daughter, who firmly believes “The leaf don’t fall too far from the tree !” (God help us !)The only problem with her, is she’s laughging too hard to hold the camera steady !

Sorry, I forgot what I wrote when this was posted on the main Bnet page; I hope it was good! (Maybe the meds ARE having cognitive effects on me, after all …)
Anyway, everyone already knows my New Year’s Resolution. Snap your fingers with me like the best street corner doo-wopper in Philadelphia:
“Sha na na na na na na …” (HTTP://)

Additions can come in many forms, good and bad. The difference is probably more of the degree, not the addition it’s self. Let take exercise, very good addition if not to the excess. Eating chocolate is additive in itself. I have no particular need for chocolate until I eat one and then two, three, etc.
Spending time in prayer, contemplation, seems like an addition I can live with and grow in strength and peace.
Happy New Year and keep up the sharing

Being real ahead of likeable or attractive — I so need to go there with you. I appreciate knowing I’m not the only one in the boat. My counselor keeps reminding me it’s not a relationship if I’m not being myself and therefore not really showing up. I’m working on it, and it’s a good resolution for 2008. Thanks for going there.

Great JOB to all of you who are being/becoming real. People don’t really want us any other way (even when they say they do)….they would be bored!
Today is the first time I’ve looked into and started to understand the beyone blue bog. I discovered Bnet last year on the day that my Aunt was passing away.
What a BLESSING this has been in my life. Can’t wait to get to read/watch beyond blue more!
Thanks!

I thank you for the reminder that there is more out there than trying to impress people or make them feel better. We need more people out there to be real. Happy New Year to all, and good luck with your resolutions.

My New Years Resolution is basically simple. I want to receive employment. I want to create a music station on the internet. I want to associate and have more experience with women. Hopefully I can nut on one. To be more aggreesive, more useful and more faster than last year.

I have been receiving the Beyond Blue page in my e-mail for awhile now. Today I decided to join in.
So my New Year’s Resolutions are 1) Lose the 40 extra pounds that I weigh( always a good one)Not only to feel better about myself but for my health. I become depressed with the excess hanging around. I even refuse to go to the Doctor’s in fear of being weighed. Once I went to the ER and they weigh me on the table thing without telling me right away and since then I refuse to go to the ER. So this resoltion is important to me. 2) Bicycle 500 miles this year. Another one for my health and for the fun of it. I think I am going to enjoy this one. Got all my gear ready and I am waiting on the weather. 3) To get high grades in my college courses this year. I think I am a somewhat of an over achiever in my education department. I can’t stand to get anything but an “A” in my classes. I need to be easier on myself here and work on accepting less than perfect scores. Not an easy task.
Hope everyone had and will continue having a great New Year.

My New Years resolution for myself and my family and friends is to prosper and be in health even as my soul prospers. Therefore, I am looking a job in 2008 and will be eating healthy.
