It’s December 31 and I’ve been thinking about a resolution for the new year. I read this quote somewhere earlier this year and it’s stuck with me so I’ve decided that my one and only new commitment to myself for the coming year is to try and live by the following mantra.
-----------------------------------------
Life is not a journey to the grave with the goal of arriving safely in a prettily preserved body, but rather, to skid in sideways in a shower of gravel - thoroughly used, utterly exhausted and loudly proclaiming 'Fuck me, that was BRILLIANT!'

Amen, sister!
ReplyDeleteLife is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving!
Wow! That was new and i haven't heard anything like that before.
ReplyDeleteHappy New year in advance Lou. Do check me out when you can @ bodyandmindforallwomen.blogspot.com
Can I get a hell-ya. My other fav. line is "be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the ground in the morning the devil himself says..oh shit, she's up."
ReplyDeleteAs for that margarita you are dangling in front of me. That is torture. I was given a lovely bottle of Patron Tequila and a bottle of Grand Marnier at Christmas. If it was warmer here I would be all over some margaritas.
Right on!
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice sentiment for the new year. A resolution we can all live by! :) Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteI really have to do a cross-stitch of that saying -- I LOVE IT!!!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY 2010!!!!!
Why - that's my personal mantra! I try to live that way every day and highly recommend it.
ReplyDeleteThis is why parents should be cautious of showing their children "Auntie Mame" when they are young and impressionable.
Happy New Year, Lou!!
Happy New Year! Being as great of a person as you are, I think your resolution should be to continue to do what you're doing.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your good wishes. I had a wonderful new years eve - lots and lots of laughs with my fabulous friends, multiple pitchers of margarita and watching the sun come up on the new year. It's 1.30pm on Jan 1 and I'm just heading off to bed shortly as am shattered. Hope you all see/saw in the new year with as much fun as I had.
ReplyDeletehaha that's awesome. :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Lou -- you're already hours ahead of me -- how's 2010 looking so far?
ReplyDeleteIt's looking freakin' great so far intelligent one, I trust yours will look equally rosy. After a few hours sleep this afternoon I am rearing to go again as Rory and I are due at a beach barbecue shortly - summer rocks!
ReplyDeleteLove that saying. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE IT! That is THE ONLY WAY to live...otherwise, you're just "existing".....
ReplyDeletePour me one of those pretty cocktails....I'm coming over!!
Happy Twenty-Ten, Lou!
Lou, that is a nice thought for the new year. That's a resolution I can stand by! Hoping you have much happiness in the coming year Lou.
