That is indeed very good Anthony! I usually feel the same way, I have been blessed with a lovely family and enjoy my life immensely. I do not believe in making resolutions either.

However this year I do wish to concentrate on dealing with my son's death. My wish for myself is that I continue to heal from it, deal with it, talk about it and so on, so that it does not tear me apart.

I'm going to work on my confidence, get fit and lose weight (and yes, I really mean it!) I'm going to try and find a local MTB club and get back into my cycling and running too. I've also decided to take a break from the forum.

Good luck everyone and Happy New Year.

Thanks for starting this Batgirl. It is important to have a plan and you made me think..no it did not hurt.

First..it is nice to hear the hope in everyones posts. I would like to continue my therapy and get better. I would like to fall in love with my husband again ( yes it IS possible). I will quit taking such great care of everyone but me. I will actually start asking for things I want or need. I won't forget where I was was because to do so would mean I would also forget how hard I worked to get better. I will continue to love as fiercly as I do now. I will be more honest with my freinds and family. I will thank God every day for the blessings I have.

I think that covers it. Here's to all of us making it up the long hill..but the view when we get there..marvelous

I'm just glad the holidays are over with so I can get back on track with the things I've been working on. The main goal is to get my ptsd under better control so I can get dental work done. It's a busy time of year so I'm working lots of extra hours - and the extra money is earmarked for my dentist. I know it doesn't sound exciting but it's progress.

I'm going to lose weight, improve my independence, assertion, self confidence, and attitude towards life. I am going to move forwards towards healing with the PTSD. Also planning to go back to kickboxing.

Big changes that I know of so far are going to be:
- I will (hopefully) graduate this year.
- This means that I will be working as an Assistant Psychologist as of the summer

This is going to be a huge test (will PTSD allow me to work, or not), adjustment and challenge to me, as I haven't worked (properly) in 3 years.
- I will be truly fending for myself. This starts now, as I have to find myself a place to live for the summer onwards, and currently may have to do this alone as have no housemates staying in the area after our degrees.
- I will have to make new friends.
- My therapy will finish in the Summer along with my degree. I have a lot of work to do before then, and am bracing myself.

Thanks everyone for sharing all your goals for the coming year. I had a rough few days but I'm feeling more confident about mine again. I start work at my new comic book job in March. And for some reason the computer is not seeming as exciting to me as it was. I thought it was going to be much harder to limit my time here, but apparently not? The one thing I am a bit disappointed about, my asthma is still bad so it looks like I have to postpone the climbing, at least for a while. But that doesn't mean I won't exercise and keep the climbing as a goal for later on in the year when my asthma is under better control again.

Thanks again everyone, I hope you all achieve your goals for this year.
