I know I could use to lose a few pounds, eat a little less, study more, be a better friend and daughter. Also, I want to gain patience, create balance in my life, and successively juggle everything that is getting thrown on my plate.
What's your new years resolution(s)?
Mine is to survive 2009 ... one beer at a time ;D
I do not make resolutions anymore....I tend to not do them and then feel bad about myself. So basically my resolution is no resolutions. ??? ???
To continue the resolution I made over 20 years ago... Not to make any more resolutions and I haven't :)
I'd like to find "Bliss".

I'm not one for making New Year's resolutions. I usually make Birthday Resolutions. And most of those I do keep.
But this year I am going to try and remember myself more... Make more time for me, relax more, not stress over everything little thing, do more of what I want instead of pleasing others.
And the most important, get back in shape before 30 yrs go bye and I'm wondering what happened.
I tend not to make resolutions either.. They are too hard to live up to, and then I just kick myself when I "fail"....
However.. I am planning to try to get healthier this year... Which of course includes losing weight, and completely quitting smoking.. *shudder*... I'd like to find some kind of exercise that I would actually enjoy.. Good luck with that.. ha!
It will all come in time......
I'd say catch up on my photo albums/scrapbooks, but I'll certainly settle for only a year or so behind the current year.
And more importantly ... stress and worry less.
Resolutions aren't worth the time it takes to write them or the paper they are written on.
Rid yourself of individuals who bring negative energy and then you will be at peace and happy.
My New Years resolution is hopefully going to be 2560x1600, a nice upgrade from 1920x1200 :P.
I am resolved to take better care of my heart this coming year!
My resolution - get on the loki-making train First I've got to get moved, but then!
Mine is to go to more faires in 2009! ;D

My resolution - get on the loki-making train First I've got to get moved, but then!
I've got a friend that is willing to let me borrow her apartment
and legality so I can start at my hand of making Loki... better add that to my resolutions. :-X
Loki making does sound like one of the more... entertaining... resolutions I've read so far!!! LOL
Hmmm... may have to add that one to my list, also...
Get more sleep- didn't get enough this year. Of course be healthier, relax more, etc. I write mine down, lose them, and never keep them. I'm hopeless at resolutions, so I'll call mine revolutions as that sounds better and more exciting. ;)
Although I rarely make them any longer, I am still happy that in 1995 my resolution with my (then faire virgin) husband was to "do more stuff together". So he was game when I suggested doing faire.... and look where we are now. That's one resolution that is easy to keep!
Mine is to continue to keep my heart and mind open to the love that is brought to me every day in so many ways and from so many directions and to return that love, measure for measure.
This is a pretty pivotal semester for me, so I'm resolving myself to really putting forth the effort to doing well. Not like I do bad normally, but I really *have* to do well now.
I'd also like to find myself closer to this pseudo-spirituality that I've been getting into more and more. There are some times when I need some conviction and help from someone other than myself...
And I suppose that this is more of a goal than a resolution, but getting a boyfriend sure would be nice too...Haha.
To lose the weight that's been creeping back on.
To finally learn how to sew and make some simple Ren garb.
To stay in closer touch with family and dear friends.
To work hard to make the Cursillo weekend I'm in charge of a success.
To try to stress less. The hardest one for me now at this point in my life.
TO CRUSH MY ENEMIES, SEE THEM DRIVEN BEFORE ME, AND HEAR THE LAMENTATIONS OF THE WOMEN!!!!!!...
And maybe drop a few pounds and get back in shape.
And clear my property on RenFaire Drive for my new house so my RF friends have a place to crash if they want.
And then put in motion my plan for WORLD...DOMINATION!!!!!!!
(Minions, must get more minions...)
To be less of a PITA.
well lets see....
the first one is get more organized
then there is going back to school
finally getting my divorce after 7years of seperation
spend more time with my kids
serve my country with honor
as for faire:
attend more than one fair this year
attend a few local ren friend gatherings
finally create my noble garb
and for life in general:
find some peace in my hectic life
Listen more and judge less.
A wise man once said, "The reason we have two ears and one mouth is to listen twice as much as we talk."
And another, "Listening is an act of love."
I'm living my life with more conscious effort to bring about greater health and happiness not just in myself, but for every being. I'm going back to my Girl Scout days and the idea of leaving places better than you found them, so I continue with my desires to leave this world a much better place than I was born into. I will keep looking for solutions (re-solving) to Great Problems (i.e. quality water, food, shelter, clothing, and education for every person) and focus on manifesting passion, prosperity, and peace for all. It's my intention to inspire and empower as many people as I can to live their dreams.
I'm also hoping Sustainable Living goes mainstream..
And to add to Richard's quotes: "When we practice listening we become intuitive"
Oh yeah, I'm going to let my Creativity flow :)
Best Wishes!

Actually finish my projects on time this year... try not to procrastinate.
My oracle said it all; "experience life without judgement or understanding". My mantra for 2009.....
(it's ok if you don't get it, only I need to ;))
and a few other wishes to make reality
*consult my runes without consulting my book (thanks to Lady M)
*hand drumming
*remember that I am a wild, crazy and loving woman without need of embellishment

"Gee Brain what are we gonna do tonight?" "The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world!"
See Capt., dat's why we iz frienz! ;)
Seriously, though, I was actually thinking about this a bit last night, as I was drifting off to sleep. Dunno if it's a resolution, per se, but it occurred to me that I should be more conscious of God, talk to him more often - not just when things aren't so good, but when they
are, too-and even more importantly, to STFU and listen when
He talks.
And drop a coupla pounds, that'd be good, too.
Is it too late to make resolutions?
Got an idea from www.threadsmagazine.com. Instead of making never-ending and never-finished to do lists, I'm going to keep a list of the things I *have* accomplished. It may help me to be less negative, and reduce that frustrating feeling of pointlessness.
