"A wonderful friend of mine posted this as her FaceBook status the other day: &amp;quot;Don&amp;#039;t make resolutions \u2013 make decisions instead!&amp;quot; I like that. You can resolve to do a hundred things, but actually deciding to make them happen, well, that&amp;#039;s the real test. I&amp;#039;ve decided for this year I will:  Finalize my divorce. That&amp;#039;s a no-brainer. Get better control of my debt situation. Write more. And actually submit my writing to a few places. What have I got to lose? Learn to sew. I want to make my own curtains and bedspreads. It&amp;#039;ll save me a fortune, and I can customize my fabrics and styles. Take a few road trips, just for my personal enjoyment. Eat and live healthy. Plan and do more low-cost but fun activities with the kids. Take a few moments at the beginning and end of each day to count my blessings. It&amp;#039;s easy to get so bogged down in what you ought to have or don&amp;#039;t have or will never have. I need to remind myself \u2013 and daily \u2013 of all that&amp;#039;s right in my world.  That&amp;#039;s the starter list for now \u2013 I&amp;#039;m sure I&amp;#039;ll have more decisions going forward. I&amp;#039;m actually excited about the New Year. Bring it on, I&amp;#039;ve got living to do! What decisions are you making for 2011? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
