- Stay healthy.
- Earn money to help pay down our debts.
- Move.

Yours?

[Deja Q]

1. .

- lose weight
- get healthy
- hope
- live
- not give a shit about what others think because I've been "sensitive" all my life and it makes no difference anyway

[billyskank]

2. Change my life.

I don't even know in what manner. But it needs to be different.

[DS1]

3. Kill matcom

4. Happy New Year Writer!

I guess mine is to lose 20 lbs.
You are a pretty focused person
I bet you accomplish quite a few of those if not all.
:D :hi:

5. My focus is my INSANITY.

As in, I am so dissatisfied with complacency that I will drive myself insane trying to move myself forward.

[Guava Jelly]

7. I hope you don't

but if you do lets just hope it's a temporary insanity.:hug:
I hope only for the best for you my friend.:pals:

8. I know... thank you.

I hope you have a great new beginning this year, too, my friend. Happy New Year. :hug:

6. Quit smoking, quit drinking

I caved about 13 hours into the New Year

9. To have fun ...

to forgive

to take advantage of kisses when I am kissed

not to worry about things

to lose some weight

to get out of the house

to live ...

10. It's THAT wishes,

not WHO wishes, in regard to your resolution about getting published. A magazine is not a who, it's an it.

I don't want to seem picky, but correcting little things like this will improve your chances of getting published. I've been a professional writer since 1972.

Good luck!:)

My resolutions:

1) Stop being so picky
2) Work like hell to get a Democrat elected President in November.
3) Be the peace I want to create around me

12. While I appreciate your edit, I would not judge anyone's writing based on an informal internet post.

My actual writing is, shall I say, a bit more edited.

But thank you. :)

13. I have been thinking about this...

Since my husband left I have become ...... selfish...
I HATE IT.... really really hate it... I have never been this way
so...on top of keeping my diet and excercise program going... staying away from the cigs....
I want to get back to "lost"..... I want to be a better mother, friend and person....
start thinking about other people.....again

HAPPY NEW YEAR WRITER!!!
and you have to let us know when one of your stories are published......

:hug:

14. thank God for 2008.

To make 2008 100% better than 2007.

In 2007, I had 5 employment mishaps; I am currently unemployed and looking for work. I lost my uncle and a friend each to cancer. I have been unable to get the medication that I need. But the worst was losing my 17 yr old niece to kidney problems days before her high school graduation. My family and I are still trying to get past this, not always successfully. So this year has to be better than last year.

15. My New Year's Resolutions are...

Stay safe and stay healthy.
Possibly change occupations.
Start writing.
