The New Year is almost here, do you plan to make a New Year's resolution?

New Year is usually a great time to reassess the past year and to create some goals and plans for the coming year’s events. Everyone seems to have a different approach to the practice of New Year’s resolutions.

    ...And as for my New Year's resolution...NO more TV,,,the media has scared us and me to death about our economy...Why don't thay just say that "all is not lost","it's okay to buy stuff you need and can afford". Our great country will not collapse. I'm tired of the "awfullizers" and they will no longer have my attention!

    I set longterm goals and do not set resolutions. I see them like diets. . . . they are only temporary.

    I typically make one or two resolutions for the New Year, but like many, life takes over and I don't always acheive them. I was going through a time last year where I was very hopeful for new beginnings (for 2008), I wrote my resolutions down and tracked them the first 90 days. Unfortunately, 2008 ended up being a very difficult year with ill parents and other things (life taking over again) and I sit here approaching 2009 with a different outlook. Rather than setting such high expectations for a New Year and knowing that challenges are ahead, I plan to focus on being the best person I can be, and to handle challenges that come my way the very best I can. Happy New Year!
