    New Year's Resolutions?

    I know it's a couple days early, but ehh, why not?

    So, who's making New Year's Resolutions? What are they?

    I'd have to think about mine.

    Hmm...I guess I'll post later when I think of some.

    My resolution is to NOT make any resolutions. That way - none get broken!

    My sentiments exactly. So if I do make one resolution, it's to stop kidding myself.

    lol! that's probably a good idea. I have followed through with my resolutions before, but they were nothing too serious or important to talk about. lol. Anywho, I...

    -Definitely need to take Ellie Mae on more walks as soon as it quits snowing a foot per day...I feel bad because she doesn't get the amount of excercise she needs, so I'll take her on alot more walks when we don't have a whole bunch of snow.

    umm.....there's a start, I s'pose.....

    Be less wishy-washy and more decisive.
    Learn a new skill (hopefully knitting - there is a class for adults through the local high school but it fills up really fast each semester).
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    Just lose weight.. I started in November and lost 10 pounds really quickly, but found it hard to resist family Christmas dinners so I decided to hold off until the new years to get back into it.

    I was planning on quitting smoking too but some things have come up recently.. now I really have no desire to. Maybe sometime in the new year.

    I usually do not make New Years Resolutions, but I think this year I might. And it will be to work with the dogs more on training. Zoee needs a lot of one-on-one for her issues. And I want to eventually get Taggart into a therapy dog program.
    Sophie (Giselle) has set me on the right foot with Zoee now I just need to keep it up. And Taggart is still in his training course at ARF. I might enroll him in another too when this one ends.
    OH, and I'm starting school on January 5th. Whoa, I'm going to be busy.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Can I add a couple more?

    Lose weight - I make this resolution every year and never succeed.
    Take a vacation (maybe - this is very money-dependent). Or maybe do things in Chicago - go to one of the museums that I have not been to for a long time, visit a new neighborhood, that sort of thing.

    I am quitting smoking, and also going to eat better and lose some weight.
