Mine is to do some serious clothes culling. I have more clothing than I could ever realistically wear. Do I really need eight winter coats? Or thirty-two button-front short-sleeve shirts? Or enough beach-wear to move to Miami?
I picture that cartoon devil and angel pair on my shoulders.
😇 : You haven't worn that red corduroy shacket in five years. Donate!
😈 : Try it on. Oooo! Feel how soft? See how it drapes perfectly over your hips and would be just the thing to wear to that imaginary Fall wine-tasting festival you'll never attend? Keep!

    I resolve not to give more help than people want. I resolve to let people sink or swim according to their own effort.

    I will not remind you that that bag is out of your budget.

    I will not plead with you to keep your promise to yourself about exercise.

    I will tell you the truth that I believe you are capable of achieving great things but I will not try to prove it to you.

    I like this one. If you wouldn’t mind sharing some ideas I might steal them. I’m starting to feel a little lonely & bored IRL

    I am taking lessons and doing 2 lease rides a week at a farm nearby. I had some bad experiences with the youngster I got 2 years ago, and sold her last year. It's been a process getting past all that, I lost alot of confidence during that adventure. My "goals" aren't real specific at the moment, just sort of a general direction - gain confidence, keep improving my seat, save money for the day when I am ready to buy a horse again :)

    I’m going to move the chicken coop closer to the house this spring so that I don’t have to trample all the way to my broken down barn while it’s still dark out.

    I’m going to stop apologizing when I haven’t done anything wrong. And if we remember the situation differently we’re both going to have to live with that

    And give you rave reviews on Amazon!

    Not a resolutioner. Most immediate goal is to finish tearing out the carpet in my office at home. Which needs to be done before next project can start since it involves the sewing machine, which is in the office.
