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.

    """"Remember everybody"""" write in a paper every resolution for this new year that is coming, and then you burn it prying god for everything that he gave you and all he will give you at 12 o'clock midnight. Every year i do that and i see the results, of course not everything is coming (dont wish to be rich because if you dont get a job you coudnt get money) but a lot of things will be coming true.

    I need to pick up the phone more to communicate with my friends! I'm always hiding behind a computer screen. Checking in and hearing your friend's voice offers a closeness that Internet communication just doesn't provide.

    I never make an official resolution, I am not a fan of New Year's but I do have set goals for myself both personally and professionally that I post on my bulletin board in my office. I have been doing this for 2 years and I have stuck with it.

    My new year's resolution is to do stuff that I always think I will do but never do like reading certain books, finding out about things, etc

    I usually make a resolution and never keep it, but this year I want to focus on saving money, not wasting anything or buying anything unless we need it.

    I will probably make a couple and try hard to stick too them. I had lost weight (although most people think I don't really need to) BUT, I found it during the holidays. Would like to again loose 10 pounds or so. And be more organized. From reading others comments I am glad to know I am not the only one who seems to always find the weight I loose. Too bad I can't do that with other items I loose. lol

    My goal is just to lose 10 pounds (same as last year and a reasonable amount), stay healthy (body and mind), and be a good person to my friends and family.
