New Year Resolutions...Are Making Them?

i usually don't make new years resolutions, but i decided i'm going to get a new, better job. yeah, that's what i'll do.

I plan to quit smoking every year but the addiction is stronger than my will!

Stop trying to argue with idiots (and thus wasting my time) on line who don't EVER listen to reason or pay attention to facts or empirical evidence anyway. I;ll write and call people who can make a difference, instead, people more inclined to listen to reason and whom I can rspect even when I disagree with them.

The usual stuff: lose weight, make more money, get organized, go to Vegas and have a three day marriage...

I make the same boring resolution every year...to make this upcoming year a good one. It's worked so far.

I resolve to do what I can to live in a Solar Powered Home by 2012.

I don't need no stinkin' news years resolutions ! LOL

I don't know if this counts since I started 1 1/2 years ago: I plan to lose a bit more weight.
but - since I went off the reservation while visiting my bro over xmas and am going back on the straight-and-narrow as of today - maybe it qualifies as a resolution?

so, I've lost 97 lbs -- with 13 to go.
only gained one during this week while eating myself silly. . . .

Good for you! It isn't easy but you can do it!
Congratulations on losing the 97 lbs.!

thanks **blush**
now's the HARD part. the loss-rate has dropped way down as I'm chiseling away at these last few lbs. rrrrrrrrrggghhhhhhh!

Hmm .. this isn't totally what I'd call a Resolution .. but more of a Lifestyle 'correcting course' ..

About 2 months ago I went through emergency surgery and lost part of my sight -- and have been working hard at trying to re-learn all the independent life skills we all take for granted (like cooking, etc) ... because even with Surgery .. I am going to be slowly losing more and more and the outcome of all this is that I will be totally blind in the future.

As a result -- I am planning and providing for me to attend (at my own expense) various courses, events, learning sessions, etc so that I can go through the steps and become SAFE with my "new" sight (well .. lack of) -- so I can be as independent as possible for as long as possible. I've done some already .. and it IS a learning process for sure .. it takes time, a lot of patience .. but I am doing OK with this!

So for me ... with the sight I still have .. I am going to take little 'trips' to see what I can see .. to take the photographs, to get the memories and enjoy the little things that we take for granted in sighted lives. This is something I always wanted to do (driving places, spending time where I wanted to spend it) .. but couldn't (Because I always had to work hard and provide for my own needs).

MY resolution then for 2011 .. is to enjoy the SITES .. enjoy the sight I have .. and not let the 'drama' bother me .. for I know that things are changing .. and life goes onwards.

that one rave I gave you -- please multiply it by - oh - 300 or so, ok?

THANKS!!!!!

I have resolved not to make any more New Year's resolutions.

To embrace my Atheism even more sacred. To fight for the equal rights of ALL American citizens even harder than this year. To hold close my friends. To fight like the mighty dragon and if someone gets in my way, to send the fire and ire of the dragon their way. To protect my friends and stand with them in their fights.

Get off the grid and make someone smile every single day.

You make me smile and I don't even know you!
I like the getting off the grid part, it is a shame
more people aren't trying to do that.

Good luck about the grid thing. I think you have to be very wealthy to do that!

The Beatles knew the answer to that one

Once the hardware on your roof is paid for, who is going to send you a bill? Its actually way cheaper.

I will make a resolution to do more of the things that I really like to do,
not just the things I have to do!

Great idea! Most people do not take time to do things they enjoy.

I have chosen the way I lead my life. Don't need resolutions to achieve it.

I don't need resolutions because I am perfect the way I am

Yes. First on my list: move to a bigger place. I am slowly losing control of my space....

I try , but usually don't keep them all year long...

Great idea!

I'm just going to roll with the punches and handle the new year one day at a time.

I am planning on doing one more round of P90x, and am making a resolution to be
a lot more appreciative of things I feel I have taken for granted, in 2010.

I don't make them because in my work schedule I have to
complete everything on time. This doesn't leave much spare
time to really work on other goals. I like to use my spare time
for personal engagements and using the internet.

I have never kept them, so I stopped making them.....

I make no resolutions. Happy New Year to you Wild Kitty.

That is a wonderful philosophy!

Stop drinking, get back in shape, be more positive, and try to find God.

Don't make 'em 'cause I know I'm gonna break 'em!
