New Year Resolutions? / myLot

United Kingdom

December 31, 2015 4:40pm CST

Well, here in the UK there is only 1 1/2 hours of 2015 left, so my mind wanders on to what I would like to achieve in 2016. So, what would I like in 2016? Well, goes without saying that I don't want to see more flooding, but unfortunately that is something out of my control. Otherwise, I guess I could go with the usual one or losing weight - That would definitely be good, but I know I need to get my mind correctly motivated to ever do that. And I long to have our house free of clutter. I did make a start to that in 2015 and made quite a dent Ebaying things we no longer needed, so I plan to start back to that and dream of the day that the house is clutter-free. I'm not too sure I'd go as far as saying they were resolutions. Do you make New Year resolutions and if so, do you manage to stick by them?

If you have less stuff than you started 2015 with I would call that a successful resolution.

I never do because I know they are up for failure. I go into the new year with hope for peace in the world, for medical miracles and a lot of things. I never make resolutions for myself because I learned years ago it was a joke, any thing that I wanted to happen became part of the new year and not a part of my life. Now I know what i want to change but never make it a resolution that i can ignore, i etch it to my heart.

I've never been very good with resolutions but I want to be more organised in 2016, and I need to get rid of some clutter too. Sorry to hear about the flooding in your part of the world, We've got the opposite problem here - it's summer, our rainy season, but we're going through a terrible drought and heatwave. I wish things could balance out so that nobody would have to suffer.

More organised - That's something I also need to somehow manage too. lol. Yeah - would be nice if the weather could all be balanced out. Hope you get some rain soon (though not as much as we've just experienced). Happy New Year to you when it comes.
