i-need-a-martini — Mon, 31 Dec 2012 04:28:28 GMT

Mine is going to be to spend less time at work and more in the garden.

One of mine ( that I have 100% put in practise for a few weeks now) is NO plastic bags, from anywhere! I have a boot-full of recycle bags but never remember to take them or under estimate how many I need.

Its a small thing but oh well 😛

Another is to walk my dog at least 2-3 times a week. Lucky she is small and gets enough exercise in the yard but its no excuse for my laziness! 😮

1. No longer going to be the rescuer at the expense of my physical / mental health and the well-being of my family.
2. Going to live a much simpler life. It is about FAMILY not stuff. Going to go on those car trips and visit family that we miss so much. Going to spend time with those that want to spend time with us and forget about those that don't.
3. Each week I am going to have 1 WHOLE DAY that is wholey and soley for ME ! To do what I want, how I want and when I want. I give so much of myself to everyone else...I DESERVE IT !

Good on you ETIEW.

Especially No. 1 That is a huge step in the right direction. I have also learnt to say NO to the ones that need to learn themselves. 😉

Resolution, I don't have any, apart from wanting to save flora n fauna.

You've just reminded me to add another to my list - try not to kill my balcony plants this year.

Travel! I have been sitting here this morning researching Spain and Portugal. Although I also want to go to Vietnam and Cambodia and also to South America.

Maybe not all this year though :^O

Go for daily walks along the walking tracks in The Dandenongs.

Live a much healthier life.

Eat healthy food and no junk.

Limit time on internet and do other things that interest me like gardening, scrapbooking and doing things with grandkids.

You can do it Sandy, I know it! 🙂

Thats like my resolution for 2013.... Get my "fit mummah" title back! It's time to shed the remaining baby weight (the baby's about to turn 1!) and get my fitness back up again!

taking my gym membership off hold tomorrow!

Good onya Kylie - & I know you can do it too.

At my age, I'm not so sure. I have got to get the sugar down so I will give it a go, but I can't do the marathons anymore - too old.

Nearly 1 already. Unbelievable how quickly time flies. All the best to you and everyone else for 2013.

Over the years I have made lots of NYE resolutions and in some cases have followed through with them...

On looking back I don't have many left. I gave up smoking, I gave up work (when I retired), I simplified my life by taking lots of stuff to the tip, Vinnies, the auction rooms, the book buyers... you get the picture...

Soooo now I need serious thought... um.....

My NYE resolution is to keep thinking about what to do next :^O

I love that one Az. Makes life so much simpler. Pick your battles and leaves other's to their's.

I have been very succesful with mine so far this year. Cut out so many "issues" from my life and I can't believe the difference already. Very peaceful around here.

I don't have a new years one... just a life resolution:

Spend more time with those I love.

Mum's cancer is progressing and we may or may not lose her this year. Dad has had two heart attacks since winter.

I am going to treasure the time we have with them.

Thats pretty much it.
