Resolution For Christmas

deleted_user
deleted_user
I've had it with the apprehension and fear I get at Christmas.That's why I'm gonna do my best to stay sharp and loving right through, this time.I wanna participate more and do all ther present-giving.Especially, to be a source of confidence for the youngsters in the family.For them to see a positive uncle is important.
I'm gonna cope with seeing family, however hard or daunting that seems.
Also to try and go to the pub and just let myself have a good time.Without having hollowness creep around inside.Party hats and streamers.
I'm gonna try more to combat the downs with some incentive and jollity.I know it's all materialism gone ballistic.I'll do my best THIS Xmas.
That's why I'm posting this now.
Watch me fail !! haha

Awwwwww Pluck, and you were doing so well until the last line. You will not fail. There is no such thing. Just to try is to suceed no matter how much of it comes to fruition. Whatever the mind can percieve you can achieve. It is difficult this time of year and I fall sort of my wishes each year. But every year I try again and get one step further. It is in positive thinking and wishing that we move forward. Christmas is "only" commercial if we let it be. I try to avoid the commercial part of it as much as possible and I make important the true meaning and family. It is the only thing that really counts as sucess for me. The rest just isnt worth it. When you mention being a source of confidence for the youngsters it stirs my heart. What could be more important than that? It is in our loving and trying that we plant the most important seeds to nurture good health. You inspire me Pluck, thank you for that. Now no more talk about failure. Luv and hugs

I love to buy love from my friends and family with material gifts.
It's what Xmas is for.

I want to resolve to not go into debt because of Xmas? But the problem with me is that I have broken every promise I have made to myself since time began....for me that is.

i think this is great pluck.

i love giving gifts and tend to go overboard.

i also tend to get very depressed on christmas day, which is strange because overall i sort of LIKE christmas time. the lights and all that stuff.

Well.Where I live, they had to cancel The Xmas Santa Parade.He usually glides through each street waving from a wheeled sleigh...
The Government has stopped paying for the security guys around his sleigh.The kids throw stuff at him.TRUE.

God Bless Us Each And Everyone.

Christmas makes me crazy. Last year I had this thing for making wreaths out of tree boughs. Who knows what kind of crafty ideas I might get this year. I just wish there were no presents involved. Shopping is a huge trigger for me. I wish I could just isolate from Thanksgiving to Christmas. Relatives are triggers too. Shit, the direction of the wind is a trigger.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
