I'm going to be intentional about friendships. I'm leaving in February and will be in Liberia for a year, so I'm resolving to properly keep in touch with those I love at home. (Anyone who knows me calls me "the e-mail black hole" ... I hope I'm not biting off more than I can chew!)

I resolve this year to:

1) Try and quit smoking

2) Overcome my PTSD and be able to look those in the eye who facilitated it ,without crying. To be able to look them in the eye,and tell them,in a strong ,steady voice, that they will never again affect my world. Then, to move on and grow strong again.

3) To take my physical pain and learn how to make it less of a disability and more of a facilitator to change.

4) To be more thankful each day for the partner,children,family and friends , I am so lucky to have in my world!

I resolve this year in which I turn 40 to stop letting life get me down. I will count my MANY blessings and be thankful. I will help lead my family in a healthier lifestyle by eating right and exercising. I have spent the last 3yrs. on workers comp from my job in LTC as an LPN, so I will gain stamina and complete the remainder of my RN course. By this time next year I am determined to be a happier, healthier, employed RN.

My new year's resolution this year is to stay positive...

Yes, this semester is going to be full but on the brightside my MSN will be done in December!!

Yes, nights are not my favorite shift to work, but I am so thankful to have a good job and work with people that I enjoy.

Here's to a brand new year full of lots of opportunities!

Well, I'm just going to keep on keeping on with my previous resolution which is to take off the rest of the weight I gained after my sis died (49 pounds). I topped out at 179 and now weigh 146, but it's been a long haul! Just continue to exercise moderately, eat with some sense, the usual stuff. Best of luck to all of you with your resolutions too! I'm also trying to adopt a more Zen approach to life, and have impressed my husband with my ability so far. This for me is hard because I'm the highly excitable type and also afraid of almost everything! People are always saying "now calm down" to me, when I think I'm not the least bit excited, you get the idea. I like to think of myself as Zippy, not overly excited! Speaking of Zippy, my other sis has rescued two beagles, one she calles Sophie Lou and the other Zippy Doo. How cute is that? They are so lucky to have been adopted by my sis and her husband. Well, this part had nothing to do with resolutions, but there you have it, and more!
