Anyone making resolutions for the New Year?  If so, put them out there so we can encourage and support you!  Here's mine: 1.  Continue to exercise at least 6 times per week.   2.  Continue to eat healthy.  3.  Quit smoking.  (I'm not a daily smoker, but I tend to smoke when I drink and/or gamble.  More of a social habit than a physical addiction, but it's one habit that definitely needs to go!!!)   4.  Learn how to crochet or knit.  I'm looking for something to keep my hands busy while I watch television so I don't snack as much!   How about you???

I'm also making some resolutions. Here are mine. 1. Start putting myself first. 2. Stop eating between meals. 3. Join the gym down the street.   Kellie I crochet and do counted cross stich. I do it when I watch tv or when I want to eat when I shouldn't. I did it a lot when I was trying to quit smoking.  I smoked almost 3 pks. a day and I have not smoked in 6 yrs. Cindy

Congrats on being a non-smoker for 6 years; 'atta girl!  I'm hopeful that learning how to crochet will help keep my hands out of the proverbial snack jar!   Good luck on your resolutions!!!   Kellie

#6 is particularly telling, in terms of how you phrased the resolution.  In addition to learning to take care of yourself -- which is so important -- you need to realize that doing so is not selfish and that you have the right to care for yourself first and foremost.  If we don't care for ourselves -- body, mind, and spirit -- eventually we will have nothing left to give.  By taking care of ourselves and replenishing ourselves through healthy living, healthy eating, and regular activity, we renew ourselves so that we can continue to give.   Good luck on your resolutions!!!

Yep, that's why I phrased it the way I did. I learned a while back that if I start doing the action, sooner or later my mind shift will happen. In this case it is my family lesson that I'm "selfish" if I don't take care of others before myself. It's hard to believe that it's not selfish, but if I go through the motions, eventually I'll be a believer in the New lesson.

Good liuk to you too!

Great goals, Lynn.  I can especially relate to #1 - my parents and sisters only live an hour away, but I sometimes don't see them for months at a time.  I need to make an effort to spend more time with my family as well.   Kellie
