No, I learned a long time ago not to set myself up for failure. If I am going to do something, I do it, I don’t make a contest - aka “resolution” out of it. …. reminds me of trying to be “silent’ for 3 hours on Good Friday when I was a kid … never worked ;-) Happy New Year everyone ! Good to be back after taking a week break from wOw. Too much to do, never got near the computer. Let me tell you, I am, as my kids say, “Pumped” for 2009. No where to go but up !

Eka love your new avatar. I don’t set myself up for failure either, or make it a contest. I will take time for myself to re-energize so that I can accomplish new and interesting goals. I always have to get quiet and by myself for awhile so I can hear what is coming from my within. It is quiet and very still. I like to rejuvenate and then see where it takes me.

No resolutions. No opportunity to break them.

Same here, K.T. L.A. My resolution is not to make any resolution….or did I break my own resolution by making that very resolution not to make any resolutions?

Count me in, too. No resolutions. No pressure to keep them, no frustration when it doesn´t work out.

I couldn’t break any as I didn’t make any. It’s easier that way and no guilt for not following through.

Yes - go back to school. I keep putting off finishing school - HATE school. Well, let me rephrase - I hate taking classes I am FORCED to take, in which I have zero interest. I am a Sagittarius. Commitment of any kind is horrifyingly dull. If I’m spending time AND money, it had better be fascinating. In fact, I would love, love, love to be a student for the rest of my life, if I could afford it. That’s how many subjects I find intriguing (at least worth dabbling in)! You should see how many potential classes I have highlighted in my community college’s course catalog - most of them are not at all related, fall into such a variety of subjects that it boggles my MIND how someone can just pick ONE degree/major and stick to it. But then, there are just as many subjects that canNOT keep my interest after only two weeks, which are required credits…. So anyway I got so tired of dropping half/most of my classes each semester (must have taken College Algebra three times) that I haven’t gone back in almost two years. A couple weeks ago, as a Christmas gift to my grandma, I finally enrolled in some classes. BUT now that school is actually about to START next week, I’m already down to one class…and YOGA is purely selfish; it has nothing to do with “that kind” of “education”, and thus hardly counts as something you can put down a resume, much less a CREDIT toward most degrees…

Hey Kryssi, you gotta start somewhere. Good for you, and Yoga will put you … if you stay with it, in the right frame of mind and sense of calmness to take “that kind’ of class. Go for it !

Krissy, you will be a student all your life, trust me. Now just start with one class at a time, something will grab you and you will not be able to let it go. Just starting is hard.

Hi KK…You know you have a whole bunch of cheerleaders here……Go for it..! I heard an educator say once that degrees should be handed out to every student on the first day of college. The ones who were there for the degree alone could go on and leave while the rest would stay to get an education…..

Have you broken any New Year’s resolutions yet?” It’s barely the frickin’ 4th!! Who wrote this question—the Guilt Fairy?!
Laurie Deer
Resolutions = no solutions. I make a committment to myself each day to live a great day which includes being good to my health and mind, my family and people in general and being grateful.

Oh, Laurie, I wish I could do that too, but, as an ex-Catholic I still have bits and pieces of guilt hopping around in my mind sticking to every little thing it can find. But even my first resolution has already been broken as I look up at the clock. I didn’t go to the gym today; it’s too late. *rats*
