Welcome to 2009!  I hope all your fingers are still intact, meaning I hope everyone safely welcomed the New Year and stayed clear of dangerous firecrackers.  I’m all for welcoming 2009 with a bang but please, it’s about time we opt for safe, harmless ways of creating noise.

But that’s over and done with, now that we’re officially in 2009, I’m sure what’s fresh in everyone’s minds right now are New Year’s resolutions.  A number of Answers community members have been asking about it, like Donna who asked how you plan to attain your New Year’s resolutions.  Terra S got the best answer by sharing her personal experience on how she faced her fear and successfully fulfilled her resolution to learn to sing.  Animeperson456 asked the community for help on her resolution – how can she eat healthier and deal with cravings, and thankfully Shelty K gave a comprehensive answer on dieting.

I already made a list of my resolutions for this year and hopefully, by the end of 2009, I can go back to that list and say I was able to accomplish most, if not all of it.  Remember, resolutions are just words if we are not truly resolved enough to accomplish what we have set out to do.  So whatever your resolutions may be, make sure you start doing them.  As the January 1 inspirational quote in my desk states, “Be a self-starter.  Do it now! When you do not know how to do something, start.  Beware of the paralysis of analysis.  Be a person of action.” (by Mamie McCullough)
