Word Search: New Year’s Resolutions, Anyone?
Thursday, December 26th, 2024

Christmas decorations are still up, but it’s time to make some plans for the New Year!

Is this something you like to do? Do you set resolutions? Plan to join Weight Watchers? Sign up for yoga classes at the local rec center? Set a budget to improve your finances? Maybe plan a trip or two?

Every year, always, I set plans in motion. Some goals I achieve, some I lose interest in working on by mid-January, but others, are a constant work in progress. I love the process of planning for a new year—and it always begins with my writing goals. Seeing as I abandoned writing in August due to my diagnosis, I’m a bit wary of setting goals too far in the future, and I have tons of self-doubt about whether I can ever achieve my former productivity, but I am going to set some goals anyway as something to shoot for. And I’ll go for pie-in-the-sky because I’m an optimist, and if I have to adjust later, ah well. I have to have goals and starting points to remain motivated.

So, for a chance to win a $5 Amazon gift card, solve the puzzle to keep that gray matter functioning, then tell me whether you have any goals for the new year, big or small.

    I want to work on myself this year. I can only control my actions and reactions so I have decided I need to take care of me. Want to lose some weight, eat healthier, cook more less take outs and read more!

    No real plans made as such. Just to continue forward doing what I need to keep alive (nothing really wrong–just getting older) and being productive.

    I don’t make resolutions, but I’m going to give debt reduction and writing goals a try. Happy New Year.

    I am generally not a goal setter but, I am currently on a journey of self discovery. I will continue that into the new year.

    I don’t set New Year’s goals. I don’t think they ever stick. I like to reevaluate throughout the year and adjust my long term goals as needed.
