Beap52 913 #30 Posted December 31, 2024 Looks like most goals listed here are maintaining/better health and taking control of time and possessions. Count me in. I made myself a rule several years ago, If I buy something (that requires regular maintenance) then I'll have to sell something. I've got all the stuff I want to that requires my time and money. Happy New Year and new tax season! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jrblanke 874 #33 Posted Wednesday at 05:55 AM This past year I spent some time focusing on health. Come to find out, you can't eat pie and fast food all the time, and expect to feel good. So in addition to health as it relates to eating I have 2 other areas. 1. Reduce complexity and clutter in order to prioritize quality time with family. This includes making decisions and executing on projects I've had around the house. Which things can I take on and which things should I contract out. Which things just need that last 10% push to get across the finish line. 2. Introduce movement to my life. I need to stay moving and exersize more. Consistency and prioritization is key here. I can talk the talk...now it's time to walk the walk. 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Treepep 590 #34 Posted Wednesday at 12:12 PM I have minded my health and fitness and that has served me well. We ALL know instinctively how to be healthy. WE ALL just need to do it. I am going to be successfully planting my retirement orchard. It will have unbelievable diversity. I will continue to eat right, exercise, and find a healthy way to sleep. Please Continue to be kind to others, be a shepherd without giving too much of you, and be mindful of the the wonderful stuff in your life! I wish you all the best in 2025 and beyond. If the world was RED SQUARE.....Man that would be awesome All the best 1 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a line to be crossed here that many don't realize exists. I had to learn where it was and how to manage it. I still struggle with that too. Paraphrasing here... You can NOT be healthy and give to others until you yourself have become healthy and happy and understand your own needs, FIRST. Important lesson there. Kindness and generosity are a paramount human behavior. AND one must understand one's own needs and address them.. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes sir! put on your OWN oxygen mask, then help others if you can.(in that scenario uh.. probably not super great without wings) No need to be selfish and it is perfectly normal to do YOU. Be your best You first, always. the rest will follow. It takes zero effort to be respectful and polite. In Aboriculture we say "best practices" EVERY day. Do the best that you can every day and everyone goes home to the folks that matter most. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
