New Year's Resolution?

Do you make a resolution and if so, what is it"?

I usually don't but this year I decided to do things I haven't done before and to learn a new language (sign language). I'm going to take a piano lesson, shoot a gun, and not care so much about the fact that I'm still single.

-Get a job
-Figure out what I'm actually doing with my education
-Follow what I feel is my true calling, and not allow life to get in the way of that
-Live a more balanced life

nothing, I dont make New Year's Resolution's

I normally make a resolution just because. But this year is different. I don't care what changes. I just want everything to change. This has been a horrible, lonely, sad, panic attack, tear filled year.

I have never made a resolution in my life and I'm not about to start now..........apart from making one to go to way more gigs next year and to see some friends that I havent seen in a while and who I miss loads

Eat tons more chocolate and gain a 100 pounds...since they never come to fruition.

If I was living closer to ya, I'd teach you everything.

^^ That exchange made me .

That's actually a very good resolution Mrs. D


Mine is what is usually is but this time I really need to stick to it.
~Eat healthier. Cut out the junk and eat more fruit and veggies. I'm vegetarian for goodness sakes. You think I'd be eating more veggies.
~Exercise!!! I need to make it a point to do some physical activity. I believe the pool has opened in the building the bf lives in. ANd I can save up for an exercise bike to use until the spring when I can start using mine.
~Get a new full time job or another part-time job.
~Save money. I have to stop spending it on stupid stuff.

Lets see:

-lose weight and start doing more physical activity (though, that may be put off since it's nothin but snow at school...and I don't have a gym membership)
-TRAVEL! I want to get to Toronto, Salem MA, Maine and Quebec by the end of the year
-Save at least 30 bucks from every paycheck.
-Pass all my classes for the next 3 semesters.

I can totally sympathize, and I need to do that as well. Just because you're veg, it doesn't mean you never find yourself skipping out on veggies. I've been like that on and off, just because pasta is cheaper than veggies.

^^ Definitely true.

My resolution: Floss. And get back to exercising regularly.

Not sure about a Resolution but had a member of my family in intensive care since Sunday and I just wish that whatever there is out there would just take him instead of leaving a once proud man with no dignity at all. Its been nearly five years now surely he has been through enough!!!

^^ I hope there's comfort for you soon, JJ, and him as well. It doesn't seem fair when a family member has to linger in such limbo.

I'm so sorry JJ. That's so very sad. I'll be thinking of you all especially him.

Ha ha, I was going to say something similar. LOL I don't bother making resolutions any more because I never keep them since mine are usually grandiose. Yeah, I'm not going to be skinny by the summer, no matter how hard I try and I'm not going to fnd a job that pays $100K a year. So I guess I'll make it simple this year: stay in grad school no matter how annoyed I get with my professors and classmates.

JJ, I'm so sorry to hear your crap news. You're in my thoughts and prayers and I hope that things improve. These things are bad enough at any time but they seem hundreds of times worse at this time of year

To have at least one thing published, to lose some weight, to meet a GB member in person and most importantly, to forget this list on the next new year's eve so I don't disappoint myself when I say more or less the same things next year.

JJ and DCGG- I've had a rough year too. But that's why I'm serious about my resolutions this year. I feel like I need a life overhaul, but if there's a good time to put it into play it's a full moon- a blue moon, no less- on the night when people all over the world vow to change. There was a powerful energy last night, methinks

I always make resolutions. One of last year's was to eat less meat. I have now gone back fully vegetarian.

As for this year's eating, I plan to lose 10 lbs. Mainly because it's cheaper to eat less than to buy new pants.

One thing that will not help with that resolution is my other resolution- quitting smoking. I figure that'll be the hardest resolution. And that's even considering that I've resolved to go back to school.
