I have no resolutions this year. Instead, I have some aims in mind. To be more fit, more thrifty, more compassionate, more patient. Notice the form that takes -- I am not solving to get in shape, or to be thrifty, or compassionate, just that I will try to improve in those areas. Really, I think this is doable even in little bits, and even little bits of improvement will help me.
I walked a little bit today, first time since the accident. I walked very slowly, not my usual power walking pace. And I walked half the distance i usually do, but I did it. I will try 15 minutes of yoga tonight. No pressure. Just a little bit more than yesterday.
We started the painful process of reviewing and revising our budget. This is not, NOT, my strong suit. I like fun, and good food, and good times way way too much, and deferring pleasure way way too little. But we are making little changes that should help a bit.
And I am trying to be more patient with the family, to think about how the other person might be seeing things before I speak.
We'll see how it goes.

Good luck with your aims. Mine are very similar, I suppose. And, I bet if we looked back at our aims from five years ago, they would be very similar to those aims as well.
I'm getting to old to continue this way. My 'resolve' to improve the quality of my life has gone up, I think.
