It’s that day of the year –
The one where you are supposed to start all sorts of high minded resolutions.

If you are like me, you have long since given up resolutions and switched to goals – after all why waste time and energy devoting yourself to something that is pretty much doomed to fail

Instead, I prefer the concept of setting goals large and small in that they are “doable” whereas resolution are sometimes such huge undertakings that we doom ourselves to failure.

If you start your every day with some small goal, doable TODAY, and a commitment to work on at least one other – then somehow it all gets easier. According to the last part of the Columbia Encyclopedia definition of endorphins,

>>> Prolonged, continuous exercise contributes to an increased production and release of endorphins, resulting in a sense of euphoria that has been popularly labeled “runner’s high.” <<<

Reaching at least some small goal each day produces, for me, a sort of mental endrophins, that makes it so much easier to get on with the next one.

By now, you have realized that I use music for motivation, here is one of my favorites,
Somehow every thing seems doable, if you can just ride your personal “Chariot of Fire”

CHARIOTS OF FIRE

There is one freedom
Man running along
Each step that he’s taking
A step to his soul

The passion and courage
It takes to be there
A man and his spirit
Alive in the air

And if he should stumble
as he goes
If he should fall
It won’t really matter
If he knows
he gave it his all

The way becomes clearer
The way is complete
The need to be running
Admit no defeat

The circles together
Hold hands to the sky
A man and his spirit
he’s learning to fly

And if he should stumble
as he goes
If he should fall
It won’t really matter
If he knows
he gave it his all

Let no one surround himself with pain
But use it to free him
The game is to learn to live again
A race to the end

[Interlude]

And if he should stumble
as he goes
If he should fall
It won’t really matter
If he knows
he gave it his all

Let no one surround himself with pain
But use it to free him
The game is to learn to live again
A race to the end

There has been over the past several weeks, a lively conversation in the “Quilt Art” group about goals vs resolutions.

Like so many things, it got me thinking – always a dangerous thing. So I started Planning my first 2007 What Wheat Wrote blog-A-Mentry-

It had to be about goals, and the music and lyrics I use most often when I need a jump start –
and so it will be tomorrow

Meanwhile, one of my Big Picture goals is to take the time to apply SEO to EVERY thing that I web-publish – including emails, blog-a-mentry, and of course domain pages, will have the basics of SEO applied.

Among the Business treasures I have found While Web Wandering, has been the classes offered by
J “Cricket” Bailey and much of what I will be applying can be learned or extrapolated from Cricket’s various FREE courses.

I know these next weeks will be busy ones for us all, but I would URGE you, especially those who feel they need more grounding in what the goals for Preview Promenade encompass and how to reach them, including quite a bit of basic help in how to write your entries, now and later for the best long term results for your personal blogs, your web pages and all your on-line marketing ventures.

These next few weeks will be hectic, but set a goal to join these classes, set up a folder in your email client so you can come back each day and spend a bit of time working through the messages and assignments in the coming weeks and months at your own pace.
Take the time today to start the process, visit

I know you will find some of the ingredients we need to make the pie bigger, so we all get a better slice.

Peaceful & Prosperous Wishes for 2007
