New Years Resolutions

Most of the time, I make new years resolutions. They usually involve losing weight, being more organized, and not yelling at my kids so much.

This year, I have absolutely no desire to resolve to do anything above that which I already am doing.

I read others resolutions, and I just think "bleh".

I don't want to.

I have plans to do things, like run more, lose a few pounds, etc, but I don't want to frame those as "resolutions."

It just sounds to concrete, like to much pressure to me right now.

I am not sure why this is; maybe just that this year has been so different for us, and things are still up in the air as to where we are going to live when we move. I feel like I just can't plan too far in the future.

I don't really know the reason, but new years resolutions hold no appeal for me this year.

So, while I was very much in the Christmas spirit, I am being decidedly bah humbuggy about the new year. Or at least the resolutions part.

How do you feel this year? Any resolutions? Or not?

When are you moving? I agree with the resolutions:) I just want to do what I can and not feel guilty about what I can't.

For me, New Years is a time to reflect on what is important to me and what I need to do to have those things. Some years I do better than others, but at least I am taking the time to decide who I want to become the next year and what I need to do to get there.

Wish your family the best this new year with all of your decisions!!!

I don't do resolutions...just one more thing for me not to follow up on. I only made one last year and still haven't achieved it...so I just don't do them...I just try to make internal goals. If I do the right thing and say them out loud or even better and write them down for some reason that is jinxing. I am far too lazy for "I resolve to..." I just try and DO. ~miss you guys
