What? No Resolutions?

is that your NY resolution? the glass of water? I think its mine...

No resolutions for me!!! I used to make them EVERY year, basically the same ones. Most I did not stick with, them I felt guilty, then I felt weak, then I felt like a loser, who needs that crap!

DD - I just resurrected the sowell thread, because some of our health goals are there.

I agree with dbuck, setting the same goals year after year, and then never meeting them is a real downer.

But our health goals are important enough that we talk about them often on sowell, so why not continue with our usual discussion?

also, I like this NY resolution thread, because some of our goals may not be health related. Let's see. I have two goals for this year:

one of my goals is to re-do all my addresses/phone numbers!!! putting everything in one place on computer, and making it easy to retrieve, print, etc.

the other is: hand write more letters and cards to friends and family. I so love getting a letter or card from friends, but I hardly do this anymore except birthday cards.

But, I am going to lose 10 pounds, that's not a resolution, just a fact. So, I will be joining SoWell on the 8th.

I guess my #1 Reso is to quit smoking without gaining 150 lbs.
That is my goal today....to get a plan.
Ciggies go up a buck a pack tomorrow!!

I LOVE cards!! My friend Kate is the ABSOLUTE best! She even makes all her own cards....and gives me extra ones!! I'll send ya one!!

Hey, we could make Valentines!! Sorta to continue with the ornament theme....

Mangy is great!!! So creative--and thoughtful!!

My ADD is kicking in big time today....too much time on my hands!! Got about a million projects on my mind.....I will try not to ramble!

If you must make resolutions, make some worth keeping.

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her.
2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop," the devil's name is Alzheimer's.
4. Enjoy the simple things. When the children are young, that is all that you can afford. When they are in college, that is all that you can afford. When you are on retirement, that is all that you can afford!
5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. Laugh so much that you can be tracked in the store by your distinctive laughter.
6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be alive while you are alive, don't put out a mailbox on the highway of death and just wait in residence for your mail.
7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it is family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
8. Cherish your health. If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9. Don't take guilt trips. Go to the mall, the next county, a foreign country, but not to guilt country.
10. Tell the people you love, that you love them, at every opportunity
