  5. My resolutions are many (I agree with you, I need to work on my fitness and health levels) but I also need to learn to stop and smell the roses, to enjoy not only each day but each minute of the day:)
    Thank you for hosting and for asking just the right question each week:)

    Happy New Year , My Good Friend

    My resolutions for this year have to do with expanding my art career and blog.

    2013 is going to be amazing. ]I’m filling my yearly planner out in a brilliantly beautiful purple pen. It’s a wonderfully done, pretty, thought provoking tool and I highly recommend it if you’re looking to make your wildest dreams come true.

      No problem JP…

      One of my goals for 2012 was to be more organized and publish my themes in advance but
      you can see how well that worked out! 🙂

      Happy New Year to you (and feel free to link up a second post or to share your resolutions in the comments!) 🙂

    Hi, Your resolutions sure sounds like a plan! It’s certainly one I could (should) go with myself!

  11. Dmarie Michael says:

    new follower from the TGIF blog hop. Might do your other one once I get through visiting or hopping…

    Sure would be nice, if you could return the favor.

    Thanks

    oh darn another comment by me – your cats are gorgeous. They look similar to the cats I have owned but have now crossed over the rainbow bridge. BEAUTIFUL. Down to 1 cat now.

  13. Paula J says:

    Happy Friday!! Every year I make the same resolutions ~ eat healthier, exercise more, be more organized. I do ok during the year but by this time it’s nice to make a fresh start :))

    Thanks for hosting 🙂

    I hope you do great with your resolution! I too need to focus on losing weight and getting healthier. But my main resolution for 2013 is to do more volunteer work with my photography – especially helping out community theaters in my area with promotional photos. The biggest challenge I see in this is finding out which theaters need this kind of help, if any. But, I can’t know unless I try.

    Have a Happy New Year, and I will try to link up with “Friendship Friday” next week!

    Cheers!

  15. A. L. Jambor says:

    I think eating healthier and getting fit is a universal theme for everyone over fifty. I must be doing something right because I only take one medication for my thyroid as opposed to the eleven my husband takes. I can improve, though, and that’s what I’m aiming for next year.

  16. Georgie Lee says:

    I’m with you on the fitness goals . Have a very Happy New Year!

  17. Theresa says:

    I don’t tend to make resolutions just because a new year is rolling around. However, I have been thinking about better ways to save money, get a little more organized, and get more involved in charity work soon.

    Thanks for hosting this week!

  18. Rebecca says:

    I am setting myself several aims including cooking every recipe in a recipe book – I am running a Cookbook Challenge on my blog so others can join me 🙂 I love your resolution…small steps is definitely the way to do it! Good luck and all the best for the new year! New follower from blog hop 🙂

    My resolution is to teach my children to share

  20. 1. Spend more time in God’s word. 2 More time exercising.
    2. Me being distracted and selfish with my time.
    3. I already joined a group to be accountable.
    4. I don’t have any, except for #1 and 2.

    Happy weekend to you! 🙂

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I wish you lots of happiness and peace in the holidays. My new year resolutions are somewhat like yours, I like to be more fit, I like to make sure I get lots of movement, since I have a sit down job. Smiles.

      Happy New Year to you Amanda – thank you for your positive thoughts!
      You really have to make yourself get up and move around when you sit for a living.
      It is SO easy to get engrossed in your work!

      Best of luck to you! 🙂

    Going with the theory that it is not the new day until the sun comes up…I’ve still gotten this post in on Friday! *LOL*

    So my resolutions include being a better woman, wife and mother. Well, that and getting my blog posts in earlier in the day. :p

  26. Marcie says:

    My New Years resolution is to work harder at getting my voice heard throw my bloging, the art work to be shown more peace and joy and may the new year get me fit.

  27. Jonell says:

    Omy the frustration…I want to participate but am not succeeding . What can the matter be? :^)
    Regarding what I would like to accomplish with my blog for 2013: I very much want to become more capable with making use of the possibilities with using my blog..specifically with being able to connect with more bloggers/readers and while my goal w my blog is not to aquire a zillion followers it is most rewarding when I feeling there are people who actually appreciate what I have to say..share with what I call ’21st century journaling”..I now find I actually do want to lay claim to MORE FOLLOWERS [readers] I know that linky parties is the key…but am not sure if I can choose and make use of the least complicated way to accomplish this..like, HELP does it have to be so difficult?
