I'm going to work on saying "no". I tend to agree to any extra task, position, etc. that I'm approached with and I need to start turning some of them down in order to prioritize my time and my needs.

I will get at least 10 people to register to vote. Enough is enough and we need to get out and vote. They are trying to take our rights away from us.

The most important thing to me is to develop a closer relationship with God. Read my Bible more, pray more and understand what direction He wants me to go in. To know it's really Him directing me and TRUST even if it doesn't make sense. I have a burden for helping people more but I don't know which people, where and how.

To know that I could be sure that I could see the resolution through would be to lose weight and exercise more. Took me eight weeks of basic training to lose 150# and after 20 years I have put those pounds back on.

Resolutions are indeed difficult to keep. Over the past years I have made numerous resolutions, which like most people, I have not kept. If I could magically see a resolution through completion, it would definitely be to find some balance in my life, physically and mentally. At this moment, I am really not happy with myself. Shedding some weight off physically, would help me find some renewed confidence, which in turn would help my mental health. Definitely learning that actions speak louder than words. Working in silence will be my master sword.

I really want to accomplish not eating so many sweets. Diabetes is high on the charts from both sides of my parents families. My daughter just got diagnosed and want her to know I’m willing to change my eating habits.

My resolution is to put myself first. I chose this because I always short change myself to "help" others even if I don't have anything to spare. For the first time in my life I want to do for myself. It's been years since I bought a new piece of clothing or even underwear. Something that small could be a game changer in my life. Eventually I could work toward a well deserved vacation but, I will take new socks, underwear, shirt, or a pair of nice pants for now.

E4 I would love to be more organized but I have ADHD and it's impossible for me keep things in order. It would also let me take a project to completion instead of having many going at once.

If I could stick to my new years resolution I would loose the weight I want to loose, and become more athletic at my old age of 67. I would like to walk at least 3 to 5 miles, and bike also. I believe it would help with my feelings about myself and increase my confidence.

I would make the Va Disabilty office and Social Security Administration Office make quicker decisions on a Disability claim. Me and my husband are both Veterans of the Navy and it has been 3 years since he filed a claim with the VA Disabilty office and still no decision of of today, January 6, 2022. It has been a real challenge trying to receive compensation for my husband who has worked all his life .. First serving in the Military as a Corpsman and then working 40 years as a Funeral Director. Funeral Directors receive no benefits at all for the hard work they do. I am sure we are not the only family to go through this stress. If it wasn't for me having a stable job, we would more than likely be living on the street right now. It's just not fair the stress and hardship we have to deal with on a day by day basis due to only having one income. VA Disability Office needs to step up and correct this so it doesn't take hard working people like us this long for them to make their decision.

I would magically contribute to a savings account for emergencies. I live paycheck to paycheck so I don't have an emergency fund. It would be nice to pay cash for short notice unplanned events.

My new years resolution is to take care of myself and my mental health, and not worry about the things I can't control.
