2013 New Year's Resolutions!

**Rue** · 01-01-2013, 01:55 PM

Okay...most of us don't make them...or keep them...

BUT...if you could - what would be a resolution you'd like to see materialize?

Let's try for tangible resolutions though...I think we'd all like to institute World Peace.

Mine:

1. I need to step up my exercise again. I'm gonna try to walk the dogs on nice days OR do the treadmill if it's too cold outside. I'm aiming for 3X a week minimum.

2. Finish decluttering the house by the end of the year! I have 3 rooms still to do...and then I need to go hard-core throughout the entire house again in case I missed something. I want less 'stuff' to dust!!!

1. To get out of my apartment and into a house or condo.
2. To get my 30long and 55 gallon tanks back up and running again. The 55 will be a Tanganyikan community with the three juvenile White Calvus from my current tank and the 30long I'm not sure yet-this can only happen if I relocate, however.
3. To get back into the shape I was in when I was a Marine-wishful thinking though lol. Seriously, Exercise more frequently.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Well as my 21st Birthday is this year I am making a decent resolution, or probably more of a goal. I have been playing the bagpipes for 5 years and this year I hope to learn a second instrument. It will either be the accordian or fiddle. Supposedly they are two instrument pipers find easy to learn, we shall see

Same resolution I have had for 52 years. To stop smoking.

Good luck to everyone on thier resolutions!

For me, I'm keeping it light this year. 2012 was a terrible year, what with losing my baby neice and all. So, 2013 is unlikely to be worse.

However, I really do want to work on being more patient and kind. It's so hard for me to stay focused and calm when my little ones are being difficult, and sometimes I do/say things that aren't really optimal. I need to chill out. I'm generally pretty nice to most people, but sometimes those closest to me see the worst of my nature (very catlike...leave me alone until I want you to give me attention). I guess I just want to be more "present" instead of being distracted or annoyed.

I have 2 "resolutions" for this year.

1) To focus on what is important in life, to be free from excess time consuming things which only burden me. Hence I bought a much smaller home, sold one of my cars, and have now boarded my horses at a nearby stable. I already enjoy the animals more and have more time with them because all of my time is not spent shoveling after them...I have also enrolled my boy Haden into a program to be used as a therapy animal one day per week.

2) I want to get back into my roots of fish keeping, I hope this year I can refocus on cichlids and expand my collection to a more diverse and interesting lot.

**Shidohari** · 01-01-2013, 09:09 PM

I hope i actually stick to these but here goes...

1. Stop using the Credit Card i'm not supposed to use so i can have less than a 210 buck minimum monthly payment.

2. Loose weight so that i can lick diabetes. I can't promise i'll excercise proper, but i can try to eat better at least.

Ok One more resolution...

3. Become a better fish owner...While i won't be able to afford epic lighting (at least i have the LED LIGHTING) I will try to take better care of my new live aquarium plants (water wisteria and barcoa carolina) and ensure that i monitor water quality to ensure that i don't get any more fish than my bioload can handle.
