January 1st somehow offers a do-over and you get a fresh year ahead of you to work with as you see fit. So how many resolutions have we all made over the years and have there been any that have come to fruition? | |
Mom2Gabe&JoshJoined: 7/02/07 Posts: 746 Mommytalking Legend Rep points: 5814 Send PM | Title: QoD - Kept Resolutions Posted: 1 years ago I have to say that I have proudly never kept a resolution. They have all been very far fetched though. I do have to give credit to my brother who makes crazy resolutions like "no potatoe chips" "no soda" "no french fries" "no fried foods at all" all in different years, however, he kept them all. It was amazing how much you have to watch. Pretty much every sandwich servedcomes with a side of chips or fries and he would just eat the sandwich and leave it alone. It was amazing. But then again he's got great self control! The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.

I haven't made actual New Years resolutions in years, I guess because I never kept them. Instead, I use the time to evaluate my personal goals and where I am at on them. I will pinpoint a couple of milestones, but do not call them resolutions.

Rep points: 2596 Send PM | Title: QoD - Kept Resolutions Posted: 1 years ago I can not recall any resolutions that I have made and kept or made and failed at! BUT>>>>>This year I have made a resolution to be HAPPY!!! I don't want to drown myself in self pity and constantly whine about what I don't have, and worry about money and posessions any more. I am going to pay attention to the little things in life. The things I tend to take for granted and never hold dear the way I should. Like I don't think I could write a blog about a wonderful thing that happened every month last year, that is just sad. I will be happier!!! I will!!! :-) | |

I know I make them every year just because well... why not? I usually do the things I intend to do, but I don't remember which things I do were set as resolutions. | |
MeMichelleJoined: 2/19/07 Posts: 430 Mommytalking Legend Rep points: 8171 Send PM | Title: QoD - Kept Resolutions Posted: 1 years ago Well I will have to agree with alot here on this one. I dont make any resolutions cause I know I wont keep them. Like a few have said you can change things any time of the year.
