The AJC has a dog as one of the top 30 deaths of the year (that we will miss the most)????

My resolution will be to read less of the AJC since they obviously don’t know what the heck they are doing. I’ll miss Arthur Clarke, Don Baird, and Jerry Reed more than a dog that was replaced by another dog.

My resolution is to give myself 30 minutes each day in 2009 for either exercising - meditation - stretching - yoga - walking — Sounds so simple - - yet I find a thousand other things or responsibilities to do and not this one.,. WISH ME WELL!

To eat healthy; exercise more often; keep moving; and don’t stress about the little things. Enjoy each and every moment. Live in the moment.
Stop and smell the roses. Take time for ME and take care of ME (no one else will)…….

In 2008 I resolved to not eat chicken or turkey for the year. I have almost fully gone the year without eating them. there has been no backsliding or even any slipups.

So I am going to be even more aggressive. In 2009 I am vowing to be celebate.

To continue to fight for liberty and freedom and to educate the masses as to what they really mean.

Already we see the mainstream media continuing their quest to be the lapdog for our government and its policies. They lie about what free markets are, they ignore the unconstitutional actions of all three branches of government, they suppress stories they don’t want the rest of us to know about and they treat our newly elected president as if he were a god.

As the situation in america gets worse and worse - and it will - these are the same actions that created the last depression - americans will need to be reeducated as to the importance of a sound monetary system and a small, constitutionally limited government. They will not get this from either major party so it will be up to the educated, freedom-minded remnant.

Interesting I had the same resolution as Carole.

Add to that making a conscious effort to stock up on non-perishable food items, ammunition, and other essentials that might become necessary if the policy makers keep destroying our economy as they have been.

To take the plunge and get back into the dating world. I’ve been divorced for about 8 years, and I’m tired of being alone.

The best resolution, and one that will save our economy, is to watch less TV and do more reading and exercise. See JustSayNoWay.com

I have kept my past resolutions up. A few years ago I vowed not to eat meat anymore, was successful at keeping that resolution. I was also successful at keeping my weight down to always fit a size 6, that was my resolution about 3 years ago - great!

This year I plan to do a little change when it comes to relationships. Had a few bad ones and don’t plan on anymore - so for 2009 I plan on just having friends, no serious dating for the year or for the next few anyway. Just have fun and maybe go out to dinner or a movie with people that I have rejected in the past because I was in a relationship.

Hopefully I’m just as successful..

Well since the AJC no longer delivers in my area, I am subscribing to Savannah Morning news since they still mail the papers. Also if I am involved in anything news worthy I refuse to talk to any reporters from the AJC.

A New Year: NEW Resolutions…Giving in a World of Wanting

So last night I started thinking about resolutions…

They are typically about ourselves: lose weight get out of debt learn something new quit smoking

What if this year our resolutions were not about us? What if we sought to resolve issues that went beyond our personal goals?

2008 was rough on a lot of people….whether it was losing a job or foreclosing on a house…our country went through some heartache this year.

I have to believe that God is delivering these trials to teach us a lesson. He’s not punishing us, he’s simply showing us that there’s more to life than the bigger and better. Americans have fallen into a mindset of “it’s all about me” which has probably contributed to the position we’re all in now. We, in general, have forgotten what its like to be happy with what we have. There is so much pressure put on us by society to WANT more…and more…and more.

This year, let’s GIVE more..and more…and more….to our families, friends, husbands, wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, strangers, the homeless, the less fortunate, the neighbors we’ve never met, the cause that breaks our heart but we say we don’t have time for….simply, GIVE.

2009: I strongly feel that we have been given a fresh start with this new year….an opportunity to GIVE and not WANT. Maybe we’ll see that with a change of resolutions, we’ll come to find an even bigger change in our hearts.

I hope 2009 brings you peace, love and joy……and, I hope it brings our country together!
