To be a better mom to my kids.  I work 50 hours per week.  So, I am resolving to spend more quality time with my kids.
 
My second resolution is to find some inner peace.  I am going through a divorce (thank heavens).  I have been verbally and mentally abused for a while now.  I know that my kids are better off having two seperate home than a home where the Dad is constantly name-calling and fighting.
 
I also want to quit smoking.  I will do this as soon as I get my inner peace back.
 
So those are my resolutions.  Who's next?

Eeyore, thank you so much for sharing your resolutions! It sounds like 2005 was a tough year - best wishes for a blessed year in 2006.

Well, for me, my goal is to have a less stressful year (compared to 2005). Last year, I allowed the stress from work to really affect my health; now that I'm feeling better, I've decided that I NEVER want to go down that particular road again. I want to have a healthy (and relatively worry-free) attitude about things in 2006.

To that end, i've been doing things to keep the stress levels in my life relatively low - yoga and pilates (I do both of them at home). And, now that I'll be starting a new (and better-paying) job at the end of the month, I'm hopeful that the work-related stress subside significantly, too.

I guess that's it for me. I'm SO GLAD to see that 2005 is gone. I thank God that I made it through, but I am very happy that that particular year is over!

Just a note of encouragement Eeyore:

My daughter was divorced about 5 years ago. Her husband was verbally
abusive and built their credit card up so high, I stepped in and helped.
Then he did it again and to top it all, he felt the children (3 - one only 1
year old) were too annoying and wanted his time alone when he walked in the
door. He hated when they all came running to him to greet him "hello".
Anyway to make a story short, I lived with her 5 days a week babysitting
while she substituted teaching for almost 2 years. I also had 2 of the
children live with me for 2 years, 5 days a week during the school year.
Then, the guy across the street from her (who was also divorced) starting
dating her and absolutely "LOVED" her children. He had 2 of his own, one of
which were her children's age. They are so in love and he would do anything
for her. He has made her and my family so grateful for the love and support
he has given her.

So chin up, if my daughter can do this with 3 small children, so can you!!!!

.......

My New Year's resolution is to eat healthier and exercise more regularly.  I feel so much better when I exercise regularly and have so much more energy.
 
Eeyore, I also had an abusive ex-husband and went through a divorce.  It was the best thing I ever did for myself and my children.  Now I am happily married for four years now...(we've been together for six years) and I am so much better off since I lost that LOSER.  Stay strong and it will all come around for you.  You may have to work a lot now to support  yourself and your children, but it will all pay off someday.  Keep your spirits up.
 
Tju, I'm with you on being glad that 2005 is over with!!  I had a very stressful year, also and have had a lot of problems with my arm/elbow and I am now dealing with what the doctors think is a chronic-pain disorder.  It's not fun.  I just keep thinking how it could be so much worse and am thankful for all of my blessings.  Hopefully 2006 will be a very blessed year for you.
 
Great thread idea, btw!
