Each year around this time, I start to think of my new motto for the next year. (Thanks, Aunt Maria--still a great idea 15 years later).
I got by with the same one for the last two years: "It's all a blank canvas" (runner up: 'Doin' it frenchie style').
This topic comes to mind because of the following, sent by a friend:
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving
safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used
up and totally worn out, screaming "WOO HOO! What a ride!"
Love that. "Woo Hoo!" might just make a perfect motto for 2005.
