This year was not a good year..though I am not complaining... .I'm alive and it could have been worse. I have some pretty high goals set for myself and I'm excited to start. I was married for 19 years to a very very abusive man. Physically, verbally, financially and he was unfaithful throughout our whole marriage including with my sister. I don't know what happened. ..I graduated high school with a 4.0 G.P.A. Received a scholarship from the Navy Wives Club and had a free ride Cal grant A and B plus free financial aid for four years. I was young ..okay looking ..confident and happy. So I'm unsure how I allowed myself to become this person. I had left numerous times but always returned. ..I truly believed I loved this man and was doing the right thing. In 2014 I moved out and divorced him. For a good year I felt young , happy and free. But by 2016 I was back with him. Not really violent now..but not really a relationship either . ..he asked me to marry him and I got happy I was sad being alone ...I felt old. .I put on weight again ..A LOT of weight . I have a severe panic disorder and have been in disability for 6 years now. ..this isn't how I saw my life. He needed a mommy and I needed a crutch . So with that being said you now know my back story. This year I found out I'm pre-diabetic..borderline high blood pressure. .and super FAT. I am undergoing more tests currently as well . SO # 1 I will change my eating no more fast food or processed food . I will follow my Drs orders. And starting an excersise program with a personal trainer. I have already begun the process. I cleaned my house out of all bad foods and have my first appts. scheduled with a dietician and trainer. This will be hard but my head is in the game..I'm going eat to live..not live to eat...I do not want to be an emotional eater any longer...I'm not trying to die this year :) Also #2 after Christmas I have worked out another living situation. ..I do not want to marry him ..I just thought I did because I had no faith in myself. This too is a scary move for me ..but I can do it. Also I have been accepted to the four year dental hygienist program at UNLV...only 40 people are chosen each year and I was one of them. That's pretty exciting! I was a C.N.A for 10 years. .so this is kinda up my alley but I would be paid double and choose my own hours which helps when you have an anxiety disorder. And I want to be self sufficient NOT on disability.
So school is # 3. I have spent years as a shut in..being so sick this year made me realize. .it's what I didn't do that I regret. I need to have a life and live it not just exist! ! So # 4 go out...make friends and volunteer somewhere. # 5 SAY NO!! Over the years I have become a doormat....I do for everybody else and nothing for myself. ..I don't mind doing for others. ..but not when I'm being used and its not returned . And lastly # 6
I am going to invest money into crypto currencies. ..join the rest of the world :) These are BIG GOALS and I will have struggles...but I WILL SUCCEED!! And I plan on sharing and journaling it all on Steem !! :) Could use all the the encouragement and support I can get :) :) Sorry this was so long ...I just wanted everyone to understand where I was and just how hard it will be to get where I'm going...but I WILL GET THERE!!
Learned more about you here, I am really glad you did send this along for me to read, I am late getting here but doing my best and threw some of my now watered down vote behind your comments LOL!!!
Really did not see some of this from our past chats but man, keep up the good work!!!!
You mentioned in the past that you wanted to know more back ground story but were busy ...so I wanted to share it with you....I Will share more in the future.....its just kinda scary to be so brutally honest showing all your flaws, mistakes and weaknesses to be seen or posssibly judged by all. Watered down lol...I genuinely would have been just as happy if you didn't upvote......so therefor I am very grateful for your upvote..comment and your time to read it :) :) Dawn
Thanks for sharing your story! I wish you the best of luck transforming your health, career, and social life - I'm just a stranger but it sounds to me like you're getting your priorities on track. May you have a wonderful 2018 and beyond!
Thank-You @therovingreader! I'm definitely trying :) I feel like I have hit as close to rock bottom as I care to get...I have a lot left to experience and many reasons to live yet still :) :) You have a safe and joyful Christmas and many wonderful blessings next year and every year after :) :)
What excites me about New Year 2018 is that steemit is going to pop it's top and hit 15 usd!! lol My resolution is to buy more crypto and get healthier! Ya boring but that's the truth haha!!
2017 didn't go as I had hoped but it is ending well because I joined steemit. Alot of things excite me about 2018 one of which is that I would be going for NYSC. The service will grant me the opportunity to meet new people and get acquainted with a new environment is what I look forward to. I will use that opportunity to introduce people to steemit. I (together with some friends) have made plans on helping homeless kids and I am so positive about it. Inot a "new year resolution" person but if I had to make some it would be to stop procrastinating and also to stop seeing the negative aspect of things.
I have no intentions for 2018. It should not only be thought about good deeds or values at the turn of the year. Much more should we live every day as if it were New Year's Eve. We should go ahead and do good every day of the year. Good for people, good for animals and good for nature. And we should not ask what could enrich us, but what we can give back to others.....
I am so excited about life, being alive to the end of 2017 is not easy, all the rough roads, hard struggles, failures and sickness could not put me down.
I am exited about knowing Steemit and Blockchain, I knew steemit some months ago and my life has changed, a lot has happened and I am very grateful, this year was the best year of my life because it is the genesis and beginning of my success story.
Lastly, I am exited about everyone on steemit, you @good-karma for giving everyone the opportunity to earn SBD and also post contents with their phones on the esteem app, your kind heart will remain blessed. Every other steemian out there trying to make life with the steemit platform I am exited about them because their lives are about to change.
Thank you.
I'm excited that next year I finally graduate from college, and my new year resolutions are to stop drinking altogether since it's not good for me, I want to have a daughter also. and I want to help my father financially since its about time I take over the burden of providing for my family :).

This event is very interesting.

My new years resolution is to stop fretting about cryptocurrency values and see it as one-big game.
Just because money is involved, doesn't mean it is not a game.
Do we freak out this much when we play a monopoly board-game? NO. That makes us better game players.
Look at the game pieces, your cards. Stay out of jail, and eventually you can win this game too. :)
