New years rulins

So it is another new year and as is customary I wanted to make some resolutions.  Reading my news feed on Twitter I saw a re-tweet from Lisa Crispin @lisacrispin pointing me toward this page http://www.listsofnote.com/2011/12/new-years-rulins.html?m=1 which is a list of new years rulins from a musician called Woody Guthrie.  I have never heard of him before, but I liked his list and how through reading it I started to see a part of his life. So taking his lead (and his list) I have made my own heavily based on his, but adding my own thoughts and removing some of his less transferable entries.  I doubt this will be a year that unlike all others I keep to them all. But at least I can try.

Wishing everyone a happy and fulfilling 2015
