It's about that time... 2010 is around the corner... anybody have any New Year's Resolutions???

Let's start hearing them...

I'll start!

Heels with Wheels will be up and running by March!! (That's what I'm shooting for)

[4tun8]

Already made mine and voiced it the fam. Every day I'm up and in my chair, I will use the Vita-Glide sitting in my game room. I'm striving to gain enough upper body strength to transfer and propel myself in a manual. I'm doing this to meet another goal, to travel with a minimum of equipment to California to attend a family reunion in Yosemite. Plan to hit Grand Cayon and Yellowstone. I'll be on the road about 3-4 weeks. Hell I'll start on my next day up. Mark

Awesome, a goal to reach another goal! You just reminded me of another goal I want to do in 2010... go to the skywalk & Grand Canyon! But business goal first!

Getting a handbike.
Gonna get fit so I can :-
1. lose the massive disgusting paragut that is expanding ever outwards from my body at an alarming velocity.
2. Regain some energy so I don't feel so shit all the time.

Gonna enrol in university so I can:-
1. Get mentally fit so I'm not so boring to be around, so I can salvage whats left of my marriage to my beautiful wife.

Gonna turn being a parapleagic into a freakin artform goddamit

[Ratticis]

Check off as many things on my list of things to do before I die as I can, starting with learning to program and for ever gaining knowledge. Get back on the racetrack, get my licence, go bungee jumping and maybe skydiving, hopefully do some traveling, see where life takes me. Hopefully meet a beautiful angel of mercy and find love.

[ClaraTaylor]

- Get fit. Because this little gut of mine is starting to get comments of pregnancy. I'm hoping the fitter and stronger I am come operation time the easier it will be for me. And failing that I'm going to look my best in the sexy open rear hospital gown!
- Build up the strength in my arms. Because since this chair is starting to become attached to my rump I may as well be strong enough to do some neat tricks when visiting the family
- Get started on restoring my car
- Go to Le Mans Classic
- Go around the Neuremburg Ring
-

[doublelibra]

1. Get this little formerly Stage 4 decubitus healed completely so I can go ack to work!!! It's like a pinpoint almost, but still almost 1 cm. deep.

2. Be less self-centered. Call at least 2 friends daily.

[Texas Angel Ang]

I like that, call two friends daily, I think I will add that to my list.

[topperf]

- Not really a resolution, more like a plan.. not that it doesn't scare me since I haven't traveled anywhere since my accident. - but I'm planning on visiting my little sister who is studying in England and stopping by ol' Scribbs while I'm at it.
2010's gonna be good. - I think that's my resolution.

[qbounce]

I have to agree, 2010 has got to be better than '09'.

Get better and get out of the house. Maybe even strive for my license!

[StillFingers]

2010 hmmm what shall I...

- stop passin out while gettin into my chair
- get rollin and get out of the house
- get my digital camera out of the closet, dust it off and shoot everything I see
- get my van fixed or get a new one
- get my arse to the beach
- get to Johnny Reb's and munch some southern deeeelights with E and Q
- get busy working out, get buff, plan my 2012 attack...I mean vacation/holiday...in the UK

but first things first, after I get rollin, chase my lady around the house, catch her and

[fatdave]

I have a few.

- Make amends with those I have harmed in the last few months, even those I never meant any harm in the first place.

- Find new friends.

- Find a place to live.

- A freaking vehicle.

- A new, or at least my own computer.

- STAY CLEAN.

Oh, and Jerry price of a plane / bus / train ticket and the parts and I'll get that van of yours going.

[McTavish]

Have as many holidays as possible, to somewhere nice and warm.
To see some sign of improvement, even tiny movement of little toe.
Something has to give soon, I can,t exercise any more or I,ll kill myself.
Learn to swim on front (hate the water on my face)
keep positive

[MDK]

Lose weight !
Eat less ! Lose weight!
Exercise more ! Lose weight!
Do what I have not done! Lose weight!

Mioara

PS : McTavish come to ChiangMai where is nice & sunny & you can swim as well!

[sorefm]

Learn to ride my bike again.

Do special things for all those people that have made the last 8 months bearable.

I owe a lot of people a lot of love.

[E-DOG]

I was thinking maybe I oughta cut back a tad on the paint huffing. Maybe switch from gold to another color.

I put down the airplane glue last year. I kept seeing my mother naked on a merry go round screaming at the top of her lungs "E-dog why can't you be more like your little brother fat dave?" and the image started to kinda bug me a little bit. 48 hours of the same hallucination non stop was quite enough even for me.

I'll come up with more when I think of them,

[LeahC]

If I wanted to do something or change something I wouldn't make excuses waiting til New Year to do it, I'd start now.

[Soryfam]

I've never really been one to make New Year's resolutions. I generally just decide I'm gpoing to work on something, and that's that. My current goals are to stay MRSA free (going on three moths right now), and get through my surgery at the beginning of January with no complications and hopefully some improvement in my leg strength and a reduction of the leg pain.
On a broader scale I have been tossing around ideas of what I'm going to do with my life. After a rough period this year where I was offered my old job back only to discover that the occupational specialists all determined I can't work at all, I am trying to make a life plan. I would like to finish getting my degree (one more year), and I want to start writing stories based on my childhood. This I have started already with an outline, and I have decided to set myself on a schedule to write at least an hour a day.
I also want to find a place to volunteer at. That sounds easy, but as you all know, the attitude some people have with people with disabilities can sometimes hamper even the best intentions.

I suppose I should say "to stay healthy", but I've always tried to do that. I don't think it's fair to myself to set a goal that I very often have little control over.
This is much wordier than I meant it to be. Here's hoping we all have a great 2010.

Sandy

[Tetracyclone]

2010
Timing of my arm surgery meant that I can begin strengthening the arm and resume walking practice in January. If there are no complications I shoot for treadmill work. The actual therapy plan is a bit complicated by my efforts to avoid reinjury, but I'm happy I can try for improvement after a 6 month layoff.

My other goal is to keep my mouth shut more of the time.

[chickadee]

-Do more writing. Mostly diary stuff, and mostly private, but it helps me sort out the mess of jumble in my head.
-Save up enough money for a new Macbook, because after working with Macs again at my new job, I miss them like crazy.
-Learn enough Dutch to be somewhat proficient in speaking and hopefully enough to pass a certification test.
-Lose weight and exercise more, but that seems like a cop-out resolution. Everyone says that.
-Finish up all of the 'set aside' knitting projects in my unfinished basket. I was too blitzed out on meds for most of 2009 to concentrate.
-Stop torturing my cats. As much.
-Make sure the people I love know that I do. Keep up with relationships. Go to a pub at least once a week with a friend.
-Sell/give away most of my belongings that I don't need or use. Really, truly organize the rest.

And most importantly:
-Get over the hell that was 2009. What a crazy shit year.

But still long way to go.

Well, if you wanna see snow... you're always invited to swap spots with me during the winter. Trust me, I wouldn't mind snowbirding in NZ next year!

May I take this moment to say how much I hate snow? HATE IT SO BAD AFTER THIS LAST STORM!

My friend is snowed in half way up the doors in Virginia, why did they build a house with outward opening doors? I have decided I won't go there for my snow, rather for 4th July if possible. We're lucky here in that in Winter we can jump on a plane and in an hour we are at the snow. Another hour and we are back in the rain of Auckland. Beats the wind of Wellington IMHO though.
