Happy New Year? I think it was in a magazine that I read about somebody else that gets depressed at New Year's. All those resolutions from last year: hopes and dreams, They come sneaking back, unbidden, into my awareness and only a few seem to have been realized. There is plenty of disappointment. I don't know if I should make new ones or not.It would certainly be good to be SMART about them. And accountable. I don't know if I want to do that in public though! Oh, and my computer has developed some sort of hiccup. It is very slow. Maybe it is just coincidental: perhaps every geek and nerd and just plain old person with an ISP is typing and posting tonight. I don't have much patience, and just wanted to do a quick update. Mostly, I got weighed and measured at the gym yesterday. Very slight decrease in body fat percentage. But, oddly, everything else is up. Expanding. So I had lasagna for dinner. And Almond Cream Cake. It halped a little. Maybe Eggnog and Brandy will help more.
I hate disappointment. What is there to DO about it?I refuse (this time) to beat myselt up about it, though.
That's sort of a relief. I'm not all that mature Can you tell?.
Thank goodness I can finally remember that there is always a new day to come.

If there are unhappy people out there this evening they don't need to be alone!! Come have a virtual New Year's Party with me!
I hear you sister! No, really. It's a time of year when we feel we can turn this thing around (whatever this thing is!) and we'll be on our way to a better body, a healthier us. There are no magic answers or pills, just hard work and determination. At my age I may as well say forget that! But still here I am hoping to make this year different.
I posted a painting I just finished and I included my resolution for this year. Maybe it will help you. All I know is, here I go again. But maybe, just maybe, this time I'm gonna do it!
Happy new year to you! Lolo
I think they way to avoiding disappointment is to know that you ARE in charge of things and to set goals that are realistic. Maybe instead of trying to work out 4x/week, it's about loosing 10 pounds this year. Or knitting more. Or finishing one project a month. Or reading a non fiction book every quarter... What were the resolutions/changes that you tried to make in the past and why do you think they didn't work?
Part of all of that is why I'm not making any resolutions this year. That is a resolution, I know (I resolve not to make anymore resolutions...) but I want to see what happens if I Believe and don't try to over plan anything. sounds easy, eh? I think it's going to be hard-ish... it doesn't mean I don't have goals or things I want to do, it just means I'm not making blankets statements without having a timeline/backup plan in place.
