3. In 2021, I substituted my literary talent for musical, and have written a book, the first of a series. My resolution for 2022 is to get this book self published, followed by the second in the series. In November, I will commit to participating in National Novel Writing Month with a concept for a young adult novel. My commitment to physical activity remains strong, but with more structure than ever to help achieve my weight and physical conditioning goals. Since childhood, I’ve always loved the sense of a fresh start the new year brings.

   1. Hi,
      I really appreciate your list, especially getting your book self-published. I’m curious, are working with anyone in making this a reality?
      Best of luck to you on projects.

4. Decades ago,after years of resolution failure, I made a resolution that was to “never make another New Years Resolution”.
   So far I’ve been able to keep that one so there is/was no need to go on any farther.

5. Hi – Suggestion for a future Open Thread to your readership:
   “What would your top 10 places (or top 5 places, if a smaller venue / city) be for the place where you grew up ?”

   (One answer: Applicable to NYC, the list could be alot longer as there are so many worthwhile places to visit in every one of the five Boroughs !

   Such a list could reach 10 places for EACH of the five Boroughs !

6. Hello!
   This year I hope to make real friendships with a few of the people I meet in zoom meetings. I know that’s very specific; I have friends from 5th grade with whom I meet virtually, but I’d like to open up (carefully) to others and establish real ties with my “zoommates “.
   So let’s laugh, discuss life issues and just make life more fulfilling.

7. I would like to be more obedient to God, maintain a healthier diet and start a low impact easy workout plan that fits me. So far I’ve seen the videos for a better diet and have written a meal plan and grocery list and I’ve visited web sites for chair yoga and low impact exercises. Still working on obedience to God but feel I should include obedience to healthier meals and simple exercise plan.

8. I’ve made, and largely kept, the same resolution for the past five years — to exercise for an average of one hour per day. (There were other, less demanding resolutions that received less attention and commensurately less compliance, but I did beat my Twizzler and Cheetos habits!) My commitment to exercise helped me snag an appointment as a 2021 Senior Planet Sponsored Athllete, which was the honor of a lifetime. Having completed my service there, my commitment is stronger than ever. For 2022, I’m upping the ante by adding tracking sheets to my planner book so I can measure what kinds of exercise I do, how diverse and varied they are, etc. I encourage everyone to consider a resolution around some form of physical activity. It is certain to pay huge dividends.

9. In 2021, I fell and broke my elbow not once but twice! It began in May and I still have to exercise and strengthen it every day. I finished up with physical therapy in December. In 2022, I resolve not to fall again and to continue to exercise and strengthen my arm as well as continue balance classes. I am so fortunate that I can resume my normal (pre-break) activities.
