I don't really believe in making New Year's resolutions because they're so easily made and so easily broken. Does anyone taken them seriously? Well ... here goes:
1. Take these resolutions seriously.
2. Read fifteen new authors for the new author challenge.
3. Work on my recovery with a sponsor from ACOA
4. Scan old photos
5. Write memories I have from these old photos to help me work on my memoir/story
6. Read thirty books for the Mixology reading challenge
7. Get down to my goal weight, which means lose another 50 lbs.
8. Go to at least 3 bariatric surgery support group meetings
9. Attend at least 6 meetings of the Al-Anon meeting here in town
10. Practice more anger management skills
