A new year usually brings forth new year's resolutions. Depending on the articles and stats you read, only about 8% keep their resolutions all year long.
According to the site, Power of Us, resolutions began about 4,000 years ago in the ancient Babylonians. The article didn't say much else about it and I'm too lazy to look it up more. Either way, it's been ongoing to this day.
With those odds, I stopped. I know myself. If I'm pressured into a date for life change, I will fail. What do I do? I began changes any time of the year and keep trying all year into the next and the next and so on.
What did I begin this year? Nothing. I'm bringing in what I've been working on all last year. Health, weight loss, removing toxic people, putting myself on a better schedule for my brain health (ADHD getting a bit wonky lately), better positivity, and working on Dave Ramsey snowball to get my debt paid.
I want to move to the western area of WA by summer and if all goes well, my son will buy property and I may be able to build another mini cabin by spring of 2025. it's a goal but not a resolution.
Happy New Year everyone!! What do you hope for this year besides the usual wealth and health?

In the past, I would set up resolutions only to fault a month or so in. Just continuing what I've been working on when I've seen the need is so much better. Interesting about the Boston Newspaper. That gives me something more to read. Happy New Year!

That's a lot of stuff to be working on. I just do a few things at a time. I get too befuddled if I try to do more. Just what I'm comfortable with.

@celticeagle I have always lived from one to two hours away from the beach in Both Oregon and California. This is the first time I'm about five hours away.

A Happy New Year to you too!!
I hope all your goals will be met this year . . . oh another mini cabin would be great! I want to bring back "joy" into my life. Certain issues have sucked the life out of me in the past few years (even last year) . . . I want to feel "great" again. There are various things . . . it will take time . . . but getting the ball rolling on any of 'em will be the for-now goal.

A Happy and Healthy New Year to you. I keep my previous years notebooks and then I compare how much I did last year to what I want to do this year to give me the incentive to do more and better. Online this year with all I do I want or hope to make it a banner year for myself,

I have a LONG list of things to get done this year
some is from 3 yrs ago I've been working on & some
are from last year, & the main part is from THIS yr.
I had a set back this yr that threw ALL my plans
down the drain in a matter of mins with my health
that put me in the hosp for 6 mons that about took
me out for GOOD, but I bounded back & getting
back on my feet again to FINISH what I started.
