New Years Resolutions

cinnamongrrl · 12-31-2012, 07:59 AM

As of the first...I am planning to change to a plant based diet....I want to juice for at least a month straight just to cleanse..

I want to start running...I want to train for hiking the Appalachian trail next March...I'm not getting any younger...and it's a dream of mine.

I'm going to get all my big classes out of the way this year that are holding up applying for RN school. I'm already scheduled for Anatomy and Physiology for the end of January. Then I have to take part 2 of that class and Microbiology...and 2 tiny other classes.. One of which I'm taking this semester also. (English) I refuse to take 2 major bios at once

I want to learn to knit....

I am going to read more once my surgery is done...

That is my list...

To be more outgoing

To be more involved

To be employed

To be all that I know I can be and more

I love New Years Resolutions, and I tend to keep them. (Trick is to keep them realistic) Last year's was to wear out my passport, check
This year, I have decided is my selfless acts year. I always volunteer, it is just who I am, but this year Im taking it to a whole new level. First big plan, is to go with my aunt and uncle to Guatemala and do mission type work at a couple different special needs orphanages there, also with the foster children and families. Flights are purchased, just a few more things to do in order for this to be concrete. Second is to volunteer at the local food bank or somewhere along that line, I will decide the third big for the year, later in the year. I have also signed up to be the parent volunteer for my daughters grad trip. It is going to be a good year

1......get my diabetes under control

2.......lose another 50 lbs or so

3.......be.more active physicaly

4........number 3 should help with 1 to 3

5.........read more

6.........decide and start looking at going back to school to finish my degree

My resolution for 2013:

Find a new way to pursue happiness.

Gráinne · 12-31-2012, 10:23 AM

One is to keep my environment(s) in better order. I've already begun, in cleaning out the Walk-In Closet of Doom.

Read this quote today and think it might be fitting to post here

“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.

Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're Doing Something.

So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.

Whatever it is you're scared of doing, Do it.
Make your mistakes, next year and forever.”
― Neil Gaiman

So perhaps my New Year's Resolution is to make mistakes

SleepyButch · 12-31-2012, 10:42 AM

Wow what a year I've had! I am happy that it's over. Time to let go of the old and start with the new.

So my new year's resolutions are and in no particular order...

Cook more at home.

Learn to relax, breathe, and just let things happen.

Learn to take care of me more.

Do something fun at least once a week.

Learn to like Oklahoma. I'm here...for now.. I might as well search out the good things.

WintergreenGem · 12-31-2012, 11:22 AM

I don't believe in making New Year's resolutions. For me they never work out.
I just wanted to leave a message for everyone.

My resoultion is manage my codependant personaility and tendencies in relationships a lot better; weither it be in my current relationship or relationships to come.

Boots13 · 12-31-2012, 10:35 AM

Somewhere in my bones I remember to read this every year.

The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference.
The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference.
And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.
Elie Wiesel

My New Years Resolution ?
To honor emotion, look at the world with open eyes and open heart, to embrace life, all of it. To leave the trail behind me not one of indifference, but one of intentional and deliberate acts of kindness and caring.
To stop stifling pangs of lonliness, shunning the echo of of failures, turning my back on forgiveness and feeling beaten by my circumstance. I will Stop. With mind reeling frustrations and heart defended blurs of detachment - I will stop seeking indifference.

Make indifference an ethereal place, an invisible unattainable state of non-being. I will drop the homogeny of bravado and charade and actually feel an emotion, pick one, any one...

My wish for the New Year...
May indifference be diffused and may we feel an array of emotions... may we embrace life and start caring about those around us. May we feel the exhilaration of success and the basking warmth of love; may we feel the aches and pains of loss, standfast during unnerving conflict and the carry the lessons,fears and failures with us as we make our way.
May we recognize those dim embers of hope that remain, fan the sparks of emotion and desire and live an engaged, intentional and deliberate life.

May we embrace the compassion that makes us humane.

Our time passes so quickly, bless the passing of 2012 and Happy New Year !
