Be good to yourself, take care of yourself.
What will you do for you this year?
I am working harder online, but I also need to work harder on keeping up with my house. If I do that, I will have more time for hobbies.
I am needing to improve my health. Sitting at the computer all of the time is not healthy. My doctor suggests perhaps a standing desk.
I know that with the sitting and the colder weather the muscles in my back hurt, all the time.
Before I started this post I lay down in the floor. I did some back stretches, and also some leg lifts. I did those for me. They did not cure my pain today, but perhaps they will if I keep it up.
I am going to take care of me, for me. I am going to enjoy life and enjoy you guys who are my friends.
What will you do for you this year?

I used to walk every day at least 3 miles. I stopped because of my feet. They are better now so I really need to start walking again.

What was wrong with your feet and how have you fixed them?

@GardenGerty I had plantar faciitis in both feet. I was told to wear crocs and man it really worked. I now wear crocs all the time even in the winter inside. When it's warm I wear them all the time.

That is definitely the thing to do. You will enjoy your life more if you feel good.

I know how you feel I really need to start walking again and doing Zumba. I spend far to much time sitting down at my computer either working, playing games or watching stuff.

I need to find more ways to earn more, or find a job. Much of what I do online I can do sitting up though.

I am thrilled to see this photo of your lovely family GG!!!
You all look so happy too.
Yes, you take care of yourself and a little exercise is good for anyone.
My goal is to try to reduce stress but that is the norm here.
I will msg you about son..:(

I am sorry at the way things are turning out for your son. Yes, I loved having the kids all together. The photographer was so good to get us access to the building where we had the pictures.

I am not necessarily trying to improve myself, I just want to feel better.

I think the positive part is the best we can do and that all our other improvements come out of that.

I'm going to work towards taking care of some of my wants. We're planning on remodeling a few rooms this year, hopefully, so we'll be working on getting a nicer looking house. I have a dentist appointment this month to hopefully take care of my chipped tooth so I can look a little nicer. I should work on losing a little weight as well.

I agree with that. I work on boundaries and that is apart of this. Thinking of me first more and not the kids type of things.

That sounds like a good plan. As always, I am watching what I eat, or better yet, watching what I do not eat is a better way to put it. Because of my health issues I've had to watch my diet for the past 10 years or so, its not easy, but like you said, you have to do these things to take care of yourself. This year I am spending less time on the computer, not because I don't love it, which I do, but because there are so many other things that I could be devoting my time to.

I have lost some weight but losing a little more would be good. And I need to keep it off.
