A New Year is here and I have decided to have a blog post every weekend where I ask and answer questions. I think it is a good way for readers to get to know more about me and also for me to get feedback on a number of questions. Here is question No.1 Do you always make New Year's Resolutions?
Over the years I have made some New Year's Resolutions. In recent years they have usually been about ways to cope with the loss that I have faced, ways to increase my spirituality and faith, plans for my writing career and efforts to ensure good health. I do not always achieve some of them but while I do not think this is the end of the world I think it is worth the effort.

i dont always make resolutions either, sometimes you just forget or you are too busy, its not a crime to not make any. I am glad you have this feature, i like to learn more about the bloggers and to have a chance to talk with them even if it is a one-sided comment.
Thanks a lot for sharing your comments LunaMoth. I appreciate it and wish you all the very best for 2013!
I never make new years resolutions anymore. They never get kept so I'm just setting myself up for added stress and usually a big fat failure. It's just better for me not to go there.
Have a terrific day Judy. :)
I know what you mean Sandee! At times it can be stressful. I make them and work hard towards them but if I do not achieve them I do not let it bother me at all!:) Thanks for sharing your comments and enjoy the rest of your Friday.
Hi Judy. It's been a while that I've not visited your blog. Regarding to the question, I don't make New Year's Resolutions anymore, they don't get realized. I just enjoy my life right now by being busy of my own business regardless of what other people say.
I don't make resolutions either. Every year I make a list of HOPES instead. It seems more realistic that way. Hope you have a wonderful weekend, Judy!
I think of it more as a time to review ongoing goals, tweak them if needed, and make new ones. So they are sort of like resolutions but they're more ongoing I guess because I do review them throughout the year.
Those are good New Year's resolutions. I like the idea to answer questions about yourself once a week.

I've really gotten into resolutions the past few years because it's a time of reflection and time to think about the year ahead and what I want to accomplish. It's just the beginning for me.
Thanks Christina! I am always happy to link up with Amanda's Books and More, Make My Saturday Sweet! Have a great weekend.
Thanks for sharing your comments Jamie. I wish you all the best with your goals for 2013.
Thanks for your opinion Candice! All the very best with your HOPES and I wish you G and J a great weekend.
It is great to hear from you Itin. Thanks for sharing your comments and all the very best for 2013!
I like your approach to resolutions Sharon. This certainly makes it less stressful. All the very best to you and have a great weekend.
Making resolutions every year and cheat on them is a common thing that every one does! I make one this year , I hope I could stick to it. But my dad told me that our mind changes day after day and minute after minute , so we would rarely be honest with our previous plans and thoughts!

Hi Judy - Happy New Year to you, following from the UK via Life in a Breakdown and Futures I love my post Blog Hop
No resolutions anymore, just goals that can be broken down into baby steps. Less daunting that way! I can celebrate little successes then instead of a massive failure :-)

Hi Mama G,

Thanks for sharing your comments Aree! Happy New Year!
No.
I usually make a plan on how I can be better at being a parent, wife and pursue my education.
I don't like the chain of 'resolution ' around my neck.
If that makes sense :)
Thanks for sharing your views Colette. One really has to approach resolutions carefully as things can turn out to be stressful. Take care and have a good weekend.
I guess I've always felt that while it's important to make goals for oneself, it shouldn't be warranted simply because of the new year.
Anytime of the year is a good time to set goals (resolutions), and to do so with your own timeline.
Have a very blessed New Year!
Thank you for linking up at this week’s Harvest of Friends Weekend Blog Hop.
Thanks for sharing your opinion Kelly. Happy New Year to you!
Happy New Year Judy!
I don't usually make resolutions, but this year I made a list and even blogged about them.
Good luck with your resolutions - you are an inspiration.

Happy New Year Anji! Thanks a lot for your comments. I will be sure to check your blog post on your resolutions.
I don't make New Year's Resolutions....I just decided to strive to be a better person each year. I love that you're working on your writing....although I have a feeling you don't need that. Thanks for sharing! ~Tammy
Thanks Tammy! Have a good week.
Thanks Michaela! I will follow back. Have a great week.

Hi Judy, my phone was playing up yeaterday when I tried to comment. I make them and every year its usually about running and giving up sweet thing :)
All the very best with your New Year's resolutions Clairejustine.
I usually do not, but last year I made a list of quite a few. I accomplished all but one, and so that remaining one is my resolution for this year. :)
Good luck w/any you have created this year!
Great ?!! I don't usually make one resolution for the new year, but rather set goals I hope the achieve each month/day...usually small ones that in the end add up to a lot. My resolution last year was to take one day at a time rather that focus so much on the year in full. It's amazing what a difference a day can make! :) I wish you and your family a beautiful year ahead filled with many blessed days!! Xoxox

I've never really made a resolution before this year. My goal is to stay on top of my To Do list.
What is your resolution this year?
I wish you all the very best with your goal Camille. While I have a number of resolutions a very important one is to take my writing career further. Have a good day.
Thanks mail4rosey! All the very best with your resolution for this year.
Hi Maria,
I also make more than one resolution. I like how you set out to achieve your goals. Thanks for sharing your comments on this question. I wish you a great year my friend and I am so happy that this is going to be such a special year for you. Love & Friendship always.
