Did you make any resolutions for 2011 (twenty-eleven) yet? No? Well get busy damn it! lol Truth be told, I’m a little behind myself. Actually, I think I’m way behind at this point. Oh well, better late than never.
I’m wondering the average success rate of NY resolutions. My success rate is about 70% over the last 10 years. That’s not bad at all. To be fair some of them weren’t overly ambitious. Partly as I’m a big believer in making gradual changes vs abrupt ones. Most of the gradual changes I make stick with me while the abrupt ones often fall by the wayside.
This year I only have a couple new ones. [1]I still have my annual ones that I sort of reaffirm every year. Working out, eating better, staying fit, blah blah blah. One, I wanna get back into blogging more. I’ve gotten away from it in the last 6 or so months and I miss it. My schedule plays a big part of it but I should be able to find a little time here and there to blog. I also miss reading personal blogs. While I still follow a dedicated few, I haven’t added any new ones in ages and the bulk of my blog reading is usually news oriented.
Two, I plan to focus on developing the friendships that matter to me in my life. With the passing my buddy Gene recently, it really made me think about things. I offer friendship readily to anyone who shows interest but to build a real lasting friendship takes effort. I need to focus on those who return said energy in kind. Its easy being someone’s friend when it costs or demands nothing.
These are my goals for the year. What are yours?

I make resolutions every year and post them on my fridge as a constant reminder.
I did pretty decently on my 2010 goals…
What are your resolutions, do share!
I normally have a BIG list and I work on them daily. HOWEVER, this year I have held off on making them. Pondering here on what the top 10 should be and what the goals are. Thanks for bringing up the subject and reminder.

It might be symantics, but I don't make resolutions, but I do goals. Or A goal. Something not too overreaching and somewhat obtainable.
The last two years it's been the same – gym and gym. This year it is the same, which might sound boring, but I keep progressing, or try to. But it is a personal trainer for at least 10 weeks to get me to another level that I am currently unable to achieve on my own.
He's been out w/surgery, so it hasn't started, giving me plenty of time to doubt my decision, but I will do it. And hopefully, I'll be better for it.
I am glad to see one of your resolutions is to blog more… would like that… I am going to try and comment more on the blogs I read as I have not been good about it… Other than that I hope to finally get the motivation to get back to the gym and get down to my goal weight by august when Jeff and I get to grace the beaches of Fire Island and the Pines… yikes!!! Hope all is well!! Hugs from the East Coast!!
