Ahhh... A topic about New Year's Resolutions. This New Year's has been quite different for me. We are currently dealing with a major family health emergency. My father, 60 years old in one month, is dying of cancer. So, honestly, when the clock struck midnight on Jan 1/09 I didn't plan too much. I usually get so emotional on New Year's Eve. Year after year I take a moment to really evaluate my last year and think of how I can better myself for the next year and what I should really be focussing on. I often have tears in my eyes as I kiss my husband and think that - just like that - we start again. This year, I am taking things one day at a time. When someone close to you is sick your focus changes, big time. The little things aren't important anymore but they are at the same time. I am very grateful to have 2009 to look forward to but I am also a bit worried. I know it will be a very challenging year. So, with that I think its quite clear that I don't have a resolution per say. I am living each day to its fullest. Enjoying time with those who are important to me and making more memories. I wish everyone out there a happy and healthy 2009. xox Ladena

You have a great outlook on life! IT is soo important to live life to the fullest each day and cherish our loved ones every chance we get. I think that is life's most important lesson, how precious it is. I wish you all the best in this year. You will always have support here.
2009 sunds like it will have some rough moments. It is very difficult dealing with a loved one having a serious illness. Remember to take time for yourself. Mothers tend to try to do everything for others and neglect to sometimes take care of themselves. You will be able to deal with the tough monents better if you have taken time to also look after yourself.
Thanks for the comments everyone...
