I hope everyone has a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year

My resolution .... oh wait, I don't make resolutions

Ok, this is what I tell myself every night before I go to sleep, I WILL wake up happy and take it from there. Most of the time it works.

How about you, do you tell yourself how to feel when you wake up?

Have you ever thought about trying?

I am usually content if I wake up because eventually it will not happen.

Well, that is a fact of life but no need to dwell on it.

Well, it can't hurt. It's also easier to attain than trying to keep up something for a whole year.

I only worry if I wake up facing a rattler, that really wouldn't be fun.

No matter what kind of dream I'm having, I'm always so glad to wake up and remember how blessed I am.

I rarely remember any dreams I may have but if I wake up alive and happy that's enough for me.

Well in that case I'll expect you to wake up happy every morning from now on, of course you'll have to write about it so we'll know

Unless there's a crisis to be met @DianneN but I've noticed that even then you keep some of your humor.

I love this picture! I quit making resolutions awhile ago, but I do try to improve something in the new year.

I'm so glad you like my photo, I got lucky with that shot. I make nightly and daily resolutions but only if I know I can achieve them.

Actually, I have done this before. I tell myself that I will wake up in a good frame of mind and take any negatives with a grain of salt and seek positivity all day. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. Depends on how much sleep I get!

I imagine a lot of what sets your mood is whether or not the boys are ok, when they're sick it must be hard to be in a good mood.

No, but I should. My goal is to wake up thanking G-d for another day, regardless of what that day will bring.

Ahh yes, I usually do the thanking once I've awoken.

I try my best to be happy, but sometimes, bad health intervenes.

I always think about it and give it a try. Each year I want eat healthier and getting in better shape physically. I do so for the most part but there is always room for improvement. Happy New Year.
