I also want to stop planning and live more spontaneously. In Germany everything is strictly planned . I want to leave that behind me. Do you mean the Germans are efficient?

For once I want to stop planning and limiting my self to the plans, and routines and other's expectations from me. I want to take more risks and say yes to the new opportunities. I want to give myself options. NO MORE PLANING IN 2011. Oh before I forget, my last year resolution was to lose weight and I did drop two sizes and about 13 kilos .The only plan of my 2011 is to stay in shape and follow the healthy eating habit.

Ahem... get my raw food eating back on track! I have just derailed like never before, it started with Girdle Buster Pie and spiralled all the way down to China Garden (which I ended up having 3 nights in one week!) LOL :) This year I want to take every opportunity that comes my way to do something for someone else...

Complain less - such as my regular annual Dubai moans when the weather gets hot. At the end of the day, we have decided to extend our stay by couple of years so matters are not helped by me having a 5 month long PMS about how all we do is walk in shopping malls. Also, will enjoy my second baby more than my first one. By this I mean I will be less nervous and just love every minute of it. Am just looking forward to our family growing, loving my family and trying to be grateful for the good life we have. Two incidents happened this past week that made me realise that sometimes you have to look down rather than up. And by down I do not mean "down on people". At mall yesterday found the toilet cleaner crying in one of the cubicles that I was to go into. I do not know why but it was heartbreaking. And at Spinneys a laborer was looking longingly at chicken while carrying his Arabic bread. My trolley was full. Just realising that most of us have such good lives, let us be happy about that.
