What Plans Do You Have For The New Year?

[Changing4Best]

I have a sort of plan: to read the study notes in my study Bible this year, when I read my Bible. I also hope to inspire the starting of a postcard exchange later on in the year here on the forum, something like the Christmas card exchange we have had for a few years now. I think a staff member needs to do that though. I would not know how. I also plan to organize my apartment, throw out a bunch of stuff I don't use anymore (or donate it to charity) and make my life simpler by doing this. (My place is too cluttered now). I suppose this could take a year to do too, because I have let it go for quite a lot of years now! I hope to make deeper ties with my closest friends and make some new friends too. These are just a few random thoughts about the coming year, so feel free to be random in your plans too. Also, I guess we can refer back to this from time to time throughout the year, to keep us inspired!

The postcard exchange idea sounds great, @SheilaKathy ! I would join right from the spot! :-)

My plans are to leave my flat more often (like spending an evening with friends or go to a concert). I also plan to learn Russian and to take singing lessons - as soon as I will have finished my bachelor thesis. My trip to St. Petersburg and to my favorite place in the Alpes are also planned and I'm really looking forward to them. I plan to take my job by one step at a time, so I don't push myself too much anymore. If everything comes along, I will move in together with my best friend - which might be a big step but I'm really looking forward to it.

1. I'm hoping to get healthier. I have to have surgery. I want to use surgery as a kickstart to a healthier lifestyle.
2. After I'm healthier start preparing physically and financially to have a baby so in 2016 we can start trying. I'm 33 and getting older.
3. Return to Sheppard Pratt for med adjustments and to learn how to internally communicate better.

Looks like we will need to draft a staff member into doing this;). I would like to have it done in June, as that is 6 months into the year, also at the start of the vacation season. On the other hand, would folks be interested now I wonder....

I realize that I have been living in the "would've, could've, should've" land. My plans are to live in the now and become an even better me. I don't know what that will look like but I look forward to finding out. Rising Sun

so far plans are to meet with my husband and therapist on new years eve... she volunteered time to do this. Will talk with him about my symptoms, most of them anyways, what could help, how to handle things that come up etc. And pretty much getting me to open up about some of whats been going on with me the past year and few months. After that, I plan to start avocating for myself more with my family (husband and kids), finding ways so if im freaked they know its me, not anything at all to do with them. next step might also be finding something to take for my anxiety etc. Really dont know where to go from there, but at least its a start of a plan.

@SheilaKathy Members, such as yourself, can start a postcard exchange; it doesn't have to be a staff member, so feel free to start it when you are ready. The members who participate will have to understand that their name and address will be accessible to all who sign up.
@rightkindofme will you be traveling in the Great Lakes region?

 

[Changing4Best]

@RussH I don't know how to add names (recipients) to a PC once I have started it! Otherwise I would. I thought only staff could do that.

@rightkindofme will you be traveling in the Great Lakes region?

I will! I have a buddy in Duluth I will be visiting and we are going to the Michigan Womyns Music Festival. So I'll be near there for a few weeks, nearly a month. :)
