  I know that many a thread has been started on New Years Resolutions, and well - this one is no different (albeit nearly a week late). This is about me and what I want to achieve in 2008.

  I love having a loads of comments on any threads I start, but since this is purely a self indulgent thread, I am not expecting much, but any tips or suggestions or comments would be appreciated.

  I am putting these plans down in writing and "publishing them", so to speak, as a commitment to achieving some if not all of them!

  1. Get some closure on my JW issues - Read Crisis of Conscience and continue in my unlearning and make a decision as to whether to DA or not...

  2. Lose weight - all of it!

  3. Join a writers group or take a creative writing course... nurture my dream of becoming a writer.

  4. Start painting again

  5. Read The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron

  6. Get more organised - keep a diary of things going on in my family's life

  7. Learn to ride a horse. I have wanted to learn to ride since I was about 10, and I live only a few minutes drive from a riding school so there is no excuse.

  Thats about it for now. Thanks for reading!!!!

  Princess,

  Sounds like some solid, very attainable goals.

  Dare to install some wonderful wind chimes. Glass, wood and or metal. Buy a lottery ticket and wish yourself good luck. C'mon-set yourself free.!

  Good for you.

  I want to lose weight too, which is now my New Years Resolution, that and taking up Pilates and Yoga.

  Good Luck in your goals.

  Wow ! Nice things. I really like your list, I could use it for myself, except I already ride and have 6 horses. Only I am just not motivated to ride right now, so mine could be, start riding every day again like I used to and get fit to compete again. I need to lose weight too "all of it" like you said. I mean Im not fat but would be called voluptuous and really, to compete well, you need to be "slim'.

  Thanks for the words of encouragement - I plan to check back in here later in the year to tick off what I have achieved!

  7 goals = earthly perfection !

  Good that you'll be using us as a support group, so that you can focus on getting these done.

  I read that 25% of people cop out on their resolution list within 2 weeks of making it, and the vast majority by years-end. But the percentage has to be better with a support system. (JWD might be the world's best support system!)

  2. Lose weight - all of it!

  You can't lose all of it! Then you'd disappear...

  great goals though, I am cheering you on!
