Resolutions
Written by Shana in Jaunty Post
Well, Christmas is over and it’s time to start thinking about New Year’s Eve. Ultimate Sportsfan and I are going skiing a few days into 2008, but we’re still going to a big party for New Year’s Eve. I hope it’s as much fun as it sounds like it will be.
But, given that 2008 is fast approaching, it’s time to start thinking about resolutions. According to one study, the top ten resolutions are
1) Quit Smoking
2) Lose Weight
3) Quit Drinking
4) Go Back to School
5) Spend More Time with Family
6) Try Something New
7) Spiritual Growth
Take a Trip
9) Pay off Debt
10) Get a Better Job
Any of those appeal to you? In the past, I’ve resolved to do #2, #5, #6, #7, #9, and #10 with varying degrees of success.
I know New Year’s resolutions aren’t as popular as they used to be. It’s cliché that no one ever keeps them, but there’s something appealing to me about wiping the slate clean, starting over, and resolving to do better.
So I’m looking for a great New Year’s resolution. I want something that means a lot to me and something I know I can accomplish.
Do any of you know what your resolution will be yet?

Helen Says:
I very rarely make new years resolutions but my goal is to lose weight and get fitter I would also like to retire so as I have more time to read but if I did retire I probably wouldn’t be able to afford to buy the books so I better keep working.
Way to go on the nomination Shana you deserve to win hands down.
Have Fun

I want to do better with balancing everything. I tend to be an all or nothing kind of gal and it would be nice to find a happy medium somewhere in the middle. I’m sure I’ll come up with more specifics when I sit down to do my goals.
Kimberly Logan Says:
Actually, I’ve resolved NOT to make any resolutions this year.
I’m so terrible, I never can seem to stick to them.
Mary Gilbert Says:
In past years I have unsuccessfully resolved to spend all of my pennies. But this year they’re saying $4.00 per gallon by February, so I hereby resolve to use less gas!
