Patience!!!!
I find that, while I'm very patient with my students and others who are in some way "weaker" than myself (the elderly, infirm, mentally handicapped, etc.), I have very little tolerance for people who can't "get it together" when they have no excuse. People who whine incessantly, etc. Anyway, my 2006 resolution is to be patient with those whose infirmities may not be as obvious, but they are real nonetheless. Does that make sense? Also, to lose weight before my brother's wedding on 12/29/06!

too many to list
My Personal resolutions:
1. Continue losing weight and make myself exercise more
2. Get my home in order (throw out or donate things I don't use)
3. Work on getting bills paid down
My School Resolutions:
1. Have more tolerance with crazy parents
2. Work on giving time to the excelling students and not always those
who are struggling
My Family Resolutions:
1. Make them not so dependent on me. (Parents, sister, niece, brother)
2. Say NO when I really don't have the time

revelations...I mean, resolutions....lol
O.k....here's my resolutions...
1. Stay away from people who always want something from me.
2. Be cautious with the extra funds I'll be getting soon...
3. Pay off all my debts this year, with my extra funds.
4. Finally take that trip to Disney, with my family...
5. Lose some more weight
6. Help my parents more, now that they're getting older.
7. Spend more time outdoors with my family.
8. Get all of us together under the same roof again...peacefully, and with BOTH of us working.
9. Save some money for a rainy day, or in our case, the next hurricane.
10. Pay off my new car???
Geez...I hope I can do all of these things, it sure would make my life a lot more bearable.

hard
This is a hard one this year! I read over everyone else's in hopes of getting an idea, and I still can't seem to come up with one! Not that I do everything right , it just seems like I'm happy with the way things are. Maybe something will come to me before midnight tonight!

keep an open mind
I just split from my partner of 10 years, and this holiday season has been hard. I have done much soul-searching and have decided to try different things this year. I'm starting to believe I'm the good person my friends and family say I am, and not the "never good enough" person he made me feel like. So, my resolutions are to love myself more and think hard before saying "no" to new things!
