Definition of the word "resolution": a firm decision to do or not to do something.
Definition of the word "Goal": the result or achievement towards which effort is directed.
I've never been one to make resolutions for the new calendar year because they're so easily broken. Because I've been trained in grad school to write IEPs (Individual Education Plans for special needs children or adults), I've tended to set goals with objectives for my self. As I've become older, now I just have generalized goals. Here are mine for the new year, 2026. I actually met most of last year's goals minus two: I wanted to read 60 books this past year, but instead the number is 58.5 HA! and I wanted to host one couples game night and that also did not happen. Oh well....here's to another year!
PERSONAL PHYSICAL GOALS
- HIKE ON NEW-to-ME TRAILS: one in the Adirondacks, one in the Catskills, and one in Vermont.
- WALK 2.5 MILES either Nordic style (new to me!) or brisk pace 4X WEEKLY
- COLLAGEN DAILY: use 2 scoops of collagen daily in my morning coffee
RELATIONAL GOALS
- CONTINUE TO HAVE DATE NIGHTS WITH DAVE once a month
- MOM-DAUGHTER COFFEE/LUNCH/DINNER DATES: Spring, Summer, Autumn
- MEET FRIENDS FOR COFFEE/LUNCH more often
