    More daytrips and quick weekend get aways
    Not going to sweat that retirement account so much, going to poke around in old houses and churches and go to the Oklahoma City bombing museum. Gong to have to get a reality check from RO but planning an any znd all family member vakay at the end of July, 1 week on the beach watching my grandkids and as many of my hubby's (11) fly kites, poke things with sticks, boogie board, swim in the pool and turn into brown berries.

    Got to have goals, and those make me smile

    Definitely have to focus
    Definitely have to focus more on the good stuff. While I got the meditation thing down, doing some yoga again HAS crossed my mind too.

    Happy New Year Sisters,
    What I want to do for fun this new year is to get out and meet new friends. Since my divorce two years ago it is amazing how your friends when you are married turn their back on you and hang out with your ex. They didn't even come by or call when I was diagnose with breast cancer. Live in a small town so the only fun place was the bars and since I quit drinking March 11, 2011 guess I am no longer fun to them. So I want to meet new people who don't hang out at the bars and develop a new group of friend who I can trust and know what the true meaning of friendship is. Lol, who knows, maybe I'll even try dating again. OMG, I can't believe I am blushing :)

    New Year
    I want to find my joy again. Learn to play the mandolin and re-learn my guitar. Find the time to play and not work so hard.

    New friends
    Deb, you might try some volunteer work. When I completed my treatments I started volunteering at my cancer center. I've met some wonderful new friends - both women and men. We have so much in common. For me this has been the most rewarding part of my healing.

    How ever you make new friends, they will have other friends and who knows, maybe someone for you to date.

    Now what I'm doing in 2012 for fun - Tuesday I start knitting lessons (I just can't seem to get it on my own) with two of my new friends.

    Happy New Year everyone.

Keep praying for all of us who have fought and still are fighting this beast.THE Last thing I am going to be more private about my health.Unless they've been through it they don't understand.

    Write!
    I want to write more. I enjoy writing, yet I don't spend time doing it.

    I also want to get a new job. It is scary to look for a job after dx, but I am sure many people have gotten jobs, right? I need my insurance, but I don't want to feel stuck just because of fear. So praying God helps me move on.

    And I want to relax more, take long naps and feel at peace with myself.

    This summer...
    After being supported so wonderfully by my dh for the last 2 years, I am going to ride support for him! My husband, his sister, and a friend are planning to bicycle across America this summer, and my 11 year old daughter and I are going to follow the same route in our car! Each morning, we will drive to their next destination (100-150 miles) and then sight-see until they catch up in the late afternoon! That way, if they run into trouble, we will be there with supplies, repairs, etc. What a great way to spend the summer!!

    I like all of your ideas.....
    I am going to take advise from all of you. I will do more with my family. Show them more appreciation, call them more and let them know how much I love them. I will exercise more regularly and eat more healthy too. This year I will raise twice as much money in the Relay For Life to create more birthdays for the American Cancer Society. I will lead my Team Captains to a Victorious event experience and touch as many hearts as I can. But most of all I vow to Live, Laugh and Love..... while I still can.
    Blessings for a Happy Healthy New Year to all of you,
    Julie-SunnyAZ

    Last year I worked on
    Last year I worked on building energy and stamina. As I look back I'm a little stronger physically, not where I want to be but improving. Had a rough year with bronchitis. This year I PRAY and hope I'll lose some weight and improve my eating habits. Health is my motivation this year. Better eating and more energy. I will continue to laugh and try not being quite so judgemental.
