Happy Aloha Friday
.
(and Happy New Year)!
In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So on Fridays let’s take it easy on posting, too. Ask a simple question…nothing that requires a lengthy response. It’s a great way to make new blogging friends!
Happy New Year(‘s Eve)! It’s hard to fathom that this year is done – did it seem to fly by super fast to anyone else? My question for this week is:
Do you (or will you) be making any New Year Resolutions?
I used to be all into the resolution making, determined to keep those resolutions no matter what. Now, not so much. Mostly because I always set the bar too high for myself, then felt like a failure when I didn’t accomplish all of the resolutions made. So now I’m not going to set myself up for failure – that’s no way to start a new year!
Instead, I have random mental ‘resolutions’ in my head – if they come to fruition, score!
What about you? Do you make New Year Resolutions for yourself, and how does that work out for you? Or are you going to wing it in the New Year like I am?
Wishing you a Happy and Safe New Year! Here’s to an awesome 2011! *clink*

My New Years’ resolution last year was “TRY”. Just one word and I did okay with it. This year I haven’t picked my word yet. But I am sure it will be along the same line!
Hugs and Happy New Year to you too

i guess i may make a few but this year so much is up in the air that i just dont know…
I always make the same resolution but never follow through…to lose a little weight. Maybe this is my year!
I’ve never made resolutions before, this year is actually the first time I will be. But I’m not looking at it as a resolution, I’m just looking at it as a start of a new me.
My “resolution” is actually to lose some weight. No actual number, just as long as a lose something and not gain it back.

I don’t usually make a formal list of resolutions. I just keep some things in the back of my mind. This year, I know I want to exercise more, which will involve some sort of reward on my part because I hate to exercise.

I gave up on resolutions a long time ago since I never kept them and now with “senior moments”, I won’t remember what they are lol.
The weight and health issue is always at the top of my list. I figure I’m doing well as long as I don’t give up.
i do not make resolutions…
but i would like to get more organized
Yes, I do still make goals each year to try to attain.
I don’t really make resolutions, but just try to keep in mind changes I want to make in my life.
I hope you have a wonderful New Year’s!
I make the same resolution every year, and that is to lose weight. I’ve had a weight problem all my life. I need to find a new way of life that I like, and I can live with, and am still searching. So Happy New Year my friend I wish nothing, but the best for you, and yours.
I usually don’t except for the yearly wish to change my eating habits and get some exercise! Happy New Year!
I feel like I’m too old for the resolution cycle…
Have a great New Years!

This year I would love to start and complete my 365 project!
Happy New Year!
I will be making a few resolutions but they are ones I always try to live by so it is nothing new. More like life guidelines. 🙂
I usually never make resolutions. However last year I made a resolution to stand up for myself more and did exactly that. It drove alot of people away who started to ask me’ what about the nice , godly Colette that I used to know?”
They were upset for this change.
This year I might make another to boost that one I made.
I set out to make a list of personal goals for 2011, but (for several reasons) it just hasn’t been a good time for me to do that. So I’m sticking with my usual resolutions: exercise more, weigh less. 🙂
Happy New Year!
I have goals for 20-11 but I am not gonna get myself in a tizzy if I don’t meet them
I do not like resolutions. I think they are too easy to fail at or forget. I like to set goals to word toward.

I am resolving to let other people do stuff for me. I know this sounds like all I want to do is sit around in a tiara and eat bon bons on the couch, but it really is my resolution because I am a bit of a control freak. (And I just found the perfect tiara)
My goal is to lose 15 pounds, snort, yeah right.
Followed you over from Java’s blog spot.
Happy New Year!

Hi Stacy and Happy New Year! I always “think” I’m going to make some new year’s resolutions. But that’s about all I do about it. Just think…
Hi Stacy, my resolutions are regularly updated, deleted, initiated and contemplated throughout the year. Once a year is not enough for a leftover hippie like me. I wish you every happiness in the next year.
I gave up on resolutions a long time ago but this year decided to set some goals. It is only day one and I am feeling the pressure!
This is my resolution – to stop by as many blogs as possible and wish them a happy new year. So Happy New Year!
I don’t make resolutions. I think it i a little too formalized for me. I do have things I am planning to change for 2011 but nothing so formal as a resolution.
Happy new year 2011 to everyone, Regards.
I don’t have any Resolutions. I do have some goals for this year though.
I’ve been thinking about my grammar and trying to improve on it. I have a tendency to write some pretty bad and draggy run on sentences. If I could loan my son about 4 of my run on words, maybe he can learn to write a more then 5word sentence?
Happy New Year! Nope, no resolutions here. Fruition – I like that word. It’s like if it happens that you have seen the future. My take on it.
Oh sure! I love to set goals. The funny thing is because my short term memory stinks I usually forget what they are! ROFL….
