New Year's Resolutions...

[celiac-mommy]

I've never been one for resolutions, I've never found them to work really well-but I guess resolving to lose 50# by February is just setting one up for disaster

This year, however, I've come to the realization that I'm really not happy with who I am right now and there are a few things I need to fix, for myself, not for anyone else. BUT, instead of 1 life changing resolution that I can't live up to, I'm going to make a small resolution at the beginning of each month to focus on-small changes to hopefully equal a big overall change. I want to be the happy person I used to be and become a calmer, more easygoing person I've had difficulty with my entire life. I want to appreciate me for me and finally accept who I am-and I know that part of that is to be a healthier, more life-aware person.

So, for January my resolution will be:

1. Add 1 more veggie a day

2. Remember to take my mood vitamins- vit. D, calcium and magnesium

I think that's a great idea!!

My resolution is to learn to use my digital camera and take one picture a day every day this year!

Rachelle, I really like your idea. I wish you all the luck in achieving your goal for 2009!

My New Years resolution is to accept more invitations and to have more fun.

When I got sick I withdrew from everything....mainly because I was just too sick to enjoy myself. I'm doing much better now but its still hard for me to throw caution to the wind and get out there and do things the way I would have prior to my illness.

For 2009 I want to make more effort to say YES when people invite me to go out. Its time to start having more fun.

Its time to start having more fun.

I fully agree!! It's about darned time too!

Happy New Year everyone! Thank you for all of your help and support this last year and 1/2, I really appreciate every one of you!

Great idea, Rachelle. I never make resolutions either because I can never carry them through for the whole year. I like the idea of a monthly one. Hmm,

My January resolution will be to figure out how to balance family and work better. I work from home.

[Rachel--24]

I still have 2 1/2 hours and I've just come up with another resolution.

I need to remind myself that its not in my best interest to be open about my experiences in the presence of close minded people. I need to remember that some people have alot of negative energy that they need to release and thats ok....some people hold onto things while others prefer to move on. I'm someone who doesnt like negative energy so my resolution is to ignore those types of people and to just say a silent prayer for them instead of getting dragged down by the negativity.

I think this resolution kind of goes with my previous resolution....which was to have more FUN!

Rachel,

I love both of your resolutions.

Mine are too feel better and do more fun things with my kids again. I also want to start taking road ttrips again without being afraid of my health issues. I want to lose a few pounds but dont care if it takes me all yr to do so. I want more patience.
