β€œI just want to keep going forward and when I fall back, I want to get up, dust off my jeans, check for wear and tear, and keep moving forward again.” - I LOVE this so much and will write it down to keep close for the coming year. I want to keep moving forward and deal with the lumps and bumps along the way!

Happy New Year! πŸŽ‰

I am a bookworm. I resolve to get back to this part of myself in 2023. Doing what I love--reading!

My core self is β€œpeace”. I need (and want) peace at home, my job, driving to and from work, under the giant redwood trees, and on a quaint tropical island! For me, peace is mostly calm and quiet, with soothing music in the background, the birds chirping merrily, or just plain quietness! I seem to strive for peace with each new year, and what I find are pockets of peaceful moments (or a new appreciation for those moments). Oh, and I happen to really, really like brunch! Let’s go together!

That's awesome.....if when you dust off your jeans they're the same size as you wore in high school. Some of us weren't so lucky in the gene department to be able to fit into those same jeans so sometimes resolutions are made that involve denial. Short term, always, because long term denial never works.

I'm glad of your resolution to travel. Hope you can come see me in a place you've never been before, whether it be FL or NC.

And yes, be your own boss. I do not like being told what to do, either. Probably why I never succeeded in corporate America.

Wishing you the best new year.
