New Year Resolutions ~ 2013

[Britwitch]

It's that time of year again, when we think about what we might like to change about ourselves, what we'd like to achieve, over the course of the coming year.

So, if you'd like to share, what are your resolutions for 2013?
(Be they serious or seriously silly )

Please remember this is meant in fun and people's resolutions may well not be the ones you might choose for yourselves but that doesn't make them any less valid. ​

1. Lose 15 pounds before March.

2. Renew my vow to write daily, at least one poem or a few paragraphs.

3. Spend twenty bucks a month on me. (something I rarely do)

4. Be more open to new experiences and people.

1. Exercise. As soon as I'm able, do some serious work to lose baby-related-weight and a little more, if possible.

2. Save money. This year I'd like to try, every month, to put a little aside for...something. Now that debts are almost all gone, to be able to save will be something of a novelty that I want to become a habit.

3. Writing. (I'm seeing a pattern in my resolutions. ) This year I want to try to listen to my imagination and my muse more often - maybe that'll help it stick around more frequently. Have set up a 'notebook' thread here in the hope it'll make me write down the ideas I get and, even more hopefully, act on them.

4. Photography. I want to take more photos of my family. Simple enough in theory but with more little people running around it's considerably harder than it used to be! After all, I have several hard drives full of images of other people's families through my business...I should also have more full of mine!

5. Friends. I want to be a better friend. I don't do badly, in my opinion at least. I like to think I'm pretty thoughtful and considerate. But I am useless at remembering to reply to text messages and emails and if it wasn't for Facebook reminding me of things I sometimes think I'd forget everything entirely! I left so many good, really good, friends behind when we moved here and the fact we're still in touch is mainly down to them. This year, I intend to do my share!

Let's see how I get on...

 

[Faux_Pas]

Lose weight. I was doing well at one point, nearly back to my freshman year in college, then depression caused "fuck it" eating.

Spend more quality time with my duo. With Buddy in school now, I don't get to do as much as we used to. A pre-dinner walk, a game or two, a few rounds on the Wii... Just a set amount of time that we can enjoy and they both can anticipate. The craft time each day has certainly helped... But I'd like something more.


Reorganize my life. There's lots of things I need to work on, and keep the courage to do it. I need to put my own feelings above worries of what others will think.

Finances.
I really don't want to file bankruptcy...

I'm not sure....

Weight... *looks down at herself and shrugs* It's OK...

Finances... *shrugs again* We're doing OK, no credit card debt (just no credit cards, haha!), both cars are paid off.... savings is good....

Family...what more can I ask for? The youngling has been doing so good in school, he was skipped a grade after 3 weeks in one grade... no more children for me though, I couldn't handle it (praise to all those mothers that have more than one child...how the hell do you do it?)... Mr. Zy...well, perhaps he'll spend more time home this coming year....maybe spend a holiday or two with the family...

......fudge...putting it that way, I'm in a rut...

OK, resolution! Get out of my rut!!!

EDIT:

1. Get out of said rut. Put more adventure in my life!!!
2. Perhaps wear make up... I almost never wear make up...
3. Stop my obsessive shopping! Especially nail polish! I already have 223 bottles, I don't need anymore!!.... Or do I?
4. Try to love this state....ok, love is too strong of a word...let's go with like..

 

[The_Spectre]

GET INTO A RUMBLE!

nods

A Royal Rumble?

[palemoon2035]

I want to be a better me. How that will happen, I do not know, but it what I will set out to achieve.

 

[Annisthyrienne]

My new year's resolutions I place here will mostly be those concerning Lit.

1) I will try to answer my story posts sooner.

2) I will try to visit threads I usually don't, in order to get to know more people/grace them with my presence.

3) I will try to engage in new stories with those on my writer's list. My goal is at least three. (Set the bar low so I can keep this one.)

4) I will continue my solo story, trying to cover at least a chapter a month.

 

[SiaKlynn]

I don't make resolutions, but I will set a goal of losing 30 pounds this year. To accomplish this I will my pick up my exercise schedule and go hiking with my friends every 2nd Sunday of the month. I already eat a healthy diet, but can always improve. I will also participate in the local mud run come April.

 

[Daydream_weaver]

A few things to start with...

Rediscover my ability to see the beauty in the world around me.

Accept the people in my life for who they are and not let their issues reflect on how I feel about myself.

Cultivate and nurture my creativity.

Love myself.
