Good for you..Now this is taking the initiative and doing something very constructive and positive for you..This is real progress. I loved reading about it this morning..Positive breeds positive they say..
I don't really make resolutions for the new year. I just have goals, and use whatever resources I can to meet them. I used to do annual goals setting, but I guess I'm better at the process, or maybe my goals just haven't changed...
Davit,
My night vision is awful too, but I'm going to see the eye doc in a couple of weeks. It's been a hard fight against the inertia of staying in, but there's always something to learn and a world of stuff that's different from the peeling paint on the walls.
I don't make resolutions as I don't really have any vices, what I did this year even before the end of the year, was I decided that my old life, the old me was in the past and would not be dwelled on any longer.
The new Me is the person I have always wished I could be, mentally strong, happy and relishing the future with my newfound inner strength.
You are doing better than me in the socializing department. I prefer not to hobble around so spend far to much time on the computer. I also have the worst head lights or my night vision is no good. I do not like going out at night. This can be a bad thing if you don't live alone.
I signed for two courses for the new year so I can get out more. The fall was awful after successful renovation, but mom mom wasn't well, and I was busy helping mom get back on track.
I can learn anything I want from an online course without going out, but it's not the same as being with people, especially if they're like-minded. Even the subject matter doesn't matter if there is an engaging group of people.
It does become difficult when travelling at night, and it's cold out, besides the lost time. Hopefully I'll learn something too
My New Years resolutions are to eat healthier and to get more exercise on a regular basis and of course to rest when needed and last but not least, to enjoy my life to the fullest...
I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone on this site for replying to my posts throughout the last year. It was a hard year for me but I got through it and am feeling better most days now.
My 'resolution' is to take good care of myself. I think it is realistic because I have practiced doing this throughout the last year and have gotten better and better at taking care of myself. I take care of myself every day now. That is a big change from how I used to live.
Thanks for being here over the last year! Thanks to Davit, Vincencia, Ashley, Sunny, Red, Anerol, Hugs, and everyone else.
Oh yes, I see where I misread it. thought the lunch was changed to the cottage site.
I'm glad you won't worry about what they think. Still, don't be hard on yourself as you know your limitations right now. Going to the lunch is a step forward! Knowing when to go somewhere or not is another step forward. We can't do everything and be everything. As long as we know it's the wisest choice to make at the time and accept that fact, then we are moving forward unencumbered by the negative guilt feelings or feelings of inadequacy which are damaging to our self confidence.
Negative creeps in every now and then but since we have learned the damage it can do, we can take care of it right away. That's a big step forward!
Hi Sunny thank you for your kind words, I'm fine with driving to the meal I know my way and it is during the day, but the new years party is at night time over 45 miles away, I've never been there before and the weather is so bad here, gale force winds etc I won't get the opportunity to drive it.
I suppose one positive has come out of this as I don't feel I'm letting them down if we don't go, I feel I'm letting myself down as I had set my goals. I have managed so well so far over the holidays, I have managed to make amends to a certain degree with 2 people I was having anxieties about, and I actually ate something for my lunch on Christmas day, which for me is a huge step.
If I don't get to the party I will have the lunch the next day to enjoy & I won't worry about what people have or have not said about me.
Negative is going to be a word that no longer belongs in my vocabulary from now on.
