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!!
Thanks for reading this :) :)
I picked this song just for you @kayleigh-alesta
Oh Thank you...a great choice!! I happen to love this song too!! You Rock @ninahaskin !! Xo
Aw, good for you finally breaking away and outlining the steps you plan to take to change your life. Sounds as though your ex is a narcissistic sociopath. Don't blame yourself. Those types are very good at being chameleons till they get what they want and you're no longer a challenge. You're pretty and have a radiant smile! I think a dental career is a good match. We have an excellent group on Steemit dedicated to healthy eating, recipes, exercise, etc. Good luck in 2018! @kayleigh-alesta
Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. ...you are awesome
Definitely following you :) :) -Kayleigh
Good on you girl! Hope everything works out for you in 2018!
Thank you for your support @livinguktaiwan!! You are very kind :) :) I Love the Steemit family :) :)
Hey!
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 :) :)
This event is very interesting.
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!!
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. :)
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.
Vote
Loyalty in 2018 ...... πππππ
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.....
What excites me most about 2018 is
New Year resolution
waoo Amazing ....
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 :).
which excites in the new year 2018, especially digital currency steem dollar value increased drastically into encouragement and for additional finance
for my little family. I am so able to fulfill my family's little wishes, and for the rest of my steemit income I will collect to buy a house for us.
@good-karma I am looking forward to the new year and new possibilities on Steemit. My new year's resolution would be to save for a real camara so I can participate more in the photo challanges with quality shots as my cellphone's camara just don't give me the quality I want.
I am very excited for 2018 because it will complete my 25th trip around the sun. I plan for 2018 to be a year of adventure. I really look forward to STEEMFest 3, wherever it may be :)
New Years Resolution - Get Healthier. Visit ATLEAST 5 different countries. Meet people and be more outgoing through everyday life. Stack and Hodl.
thanks a lot for discuss about crypto..i work to involved in crypto..carry on your activity..my friend..i will wait for your new content...all the best..
I think 2018 will be a break trough in crypto awarness. I mean big players will start to cooperate, and people will see the true potential.
My resolution is to quit my job, that make me sick and start doing what I love. I just want to start living a life :)
Cheers!
thank you @good-karma has made an esteem app, making it easier for the steemian to write on their smartphone.
Not have a lot of thing to say but .. I am hopeful for next year and i think i am going to continue my steemit and hopefully achieve my goals and build my reputation on steemit .. This is all about steemit .. But i am also Excited about my next semester in which our rotation is held and i am entering in practical work ..
My 2018 New Year's resolution is to report "good behavior." That's right. Whenever someone does an especially noteworthy job, goes out of his or her way to be extra helpful, or I witness a random act of kindness, I make a point to get the individual's name, ask to speak to his or her supervisor, and commend the individual's actions. I cannot tell you how good it makes me feel to know someone will get an unexpected compliment, letter of commendation, or even a raise by my taking 5-10 minutes of my time to be nice! And let's be honest, who doesn't like a little positive recognition every now and then?! It costs nothing to be nice to others!
Spread the love & positivity in 2018!!! πβ€π
Day 17 Advent @good-karma
2018 is going to be exciting, with introduction to Steemit on Oct'17 (almost end of 2017), I am carrying a good stuff into new year, and hope to make it counts as the life and time moves onto next chapter.
My 2018 Resolution : haha...earlier all resolution were made just to be broken, but lately I have started to take it seriously, and it started counted in my life. So coming year, I will resolute on few thing:
Prioritising steemit, will make every effort to popularise steemit in India. Already started with "TeamIndia" formation at discord, making it a cohesive unit and taking it further
Health is Wealth, Lately met with an accident since then my physical workout is NILL, so going to next year will start regular exercises in morning.
Well these are the two most as i have planned now still 15 days to go, will schedule more as per he needs.
Thanks
@steemflow
My New Years Resolution:
Expectation: I'm going to eat healthier this year!
Reality: eats ten bags of chips, five chocolate bars, two bags of marshmallows and the whole lollies shop.ο»Ώ π
Same HAHAHAHA
Exciting things to come?
1: The idea steemit will expand to thousands more growing our members and economy.
2: The idea that our thoughts and idea's are going to be worth even more in the future.
3: I get to go back to school!!!!!! Going for Computer programing π
My resolution? To give more time to my family, job, and education.
my excitation about 2018 is steem hit the $100 and bitcoin $50,000 and my resolutions is to get better mark in my university exams and use my time to develop Android apps and help steemit to grow
What excites me the most about 2018 is the high potential of REAL-WORLD USE-CASE oriented cryptos changing the world in massive ways starting in the coming year.
My 2018 New Years resolution is a 2-parter...
In 2018, I hope to see the evolution of cryptocurrencies, from a virtual coin meant for geeks, to a currency that's being accepted world wide..
I also hope to share my knowledge about cryptocurrencies to more people in hope that with more people using cryptos, we will see more demand and higher growth in value.. I will be sharing in videos how to mine cryptocurrencies without sophisticated equipments.
I hope this will become the bridge to averaging out the difference between the rich and the poor in many parts of the world..
Steem on..
Happy 2018!!
I started volunteering as a Social Media manager in a new Non-Profit organization and i can't wait to make my impact there.
I started steemit a month ago, so it really excites me, to see where it goes for me.
My resolutions -
Learning a new language ( Spanish )
Getting better in English ( It's not my native language )
Finding a nice girlfriend.
What excites me in 2018
Firstly i wish i can clear my exam
Secondly what new can happen in my life
Thirdly how will i perform on steemit. I am excited if my posts can fall in whales category of upvote.
Fouthly how will steem grow in 2018. I wish it is $100
Fifthly where all i will travel
Sixth will 2018 be a turning point of my life.
My resolution is only one to learn to balance steemit with studies. It is super addictive. If i can work on addiction in new year.
I plan to see how big I can build my steemit account in 2018 and purge the items I haven't used since moving 3 years ago!
On a personal level, I'm excited (and nervous!) to enter the real world! I graduated last week and start my first real job in February. On a global level, I'm just really excited to be alive at this point in time. I feel like advances in science and technology are happening at an increasing rate, while increased internet exposure has done so much to spur on big societal changes. Every year feels newer and crazier and brighter than the last!
I'm not really a big New Years resolution guy but I've got a little goal of running 1000 miles in a year.
It is time to say goodbye to 2017 that is filled with many happy moments and suffering for each one. With great happiness, hope and resolution, people around the world are now preparing to welcome Happy New Year and Happy New Year @good-karma and rejoice in 2018 a new beginning. Finding a turn of the year with friends, colleagues or spouses should make a different impression. We chose to enliven New Year's Eve with Ukhty Nunun, the typical nighttime rituals like fireworks and the like we did nothing to spark the atmosphere. Along with entering the new year 2018. My New Year's resolutions are
5.Makin Diligent Worship,
Once again I hope to survive the new year 2018......
I generally like even years better than odd years, so that's one reason to be excited for 2018! It sounds like a sci-fi year from the distant future, and soon we'll be living it.
My resolutions and the things I'm excited about go hand-in-hand.
First are the things that are already working for me that I'd like to continue doing:
Then there are the things I'd like to change this year, mostly focused on the other people in my life:
I want to add so many more things to this list, but maybe I should add "Don't try to do too much" to it instead!
Which makes me excited in the new year 2018. Me and my friend can travel out the area. And I often travel every new year.
My resolution in 2018:
2018 will be a great and blessed year for me and kids, because i will be getting married to my most helpful, supportive, caring and loving darling. He is there for me and my kids when no one did (my kids look at him like a father).
2018 will be the year of joy and happiness for me and my fellow steemians. Happy Xmas in advance.
I wish everyone a great day ahead.
What excites me about New Year 2018 is that a very productive and successful year is coming to an end and I can make all my plans for 2018 happen very soon. I made a lot of plans and to-do's for 2017 in 2016 and I was able to accomplish most of them. 2017 was overall productive for me. I don't believe in new year resolutions, instead I always think that now is the best time to make a resolution, If you have something on your mind you should take action right now, rather than waiting for the new year.
My new year resolution is to keep being productive, try new things out, learn from mistakes, try try try fail fail fail and get success. Even for the next year I will have this exact resolution as it absolutely works and I would recommend everyone to try this as you can thank me later for your success :)
What excites you about New Year 2018 and What's your New Year resolutions?
What really excites me this coming 2018 is the opening and launching of SMT's for I am really longing for what is goin to happen with my beloved steems and sbd's. I had read many blogs and speculations that steem is going to the moon how I wish it's gonna be true and it will skyrocket up to 20$/steem aside from that my new year resolution will be is be always me since we individuals are the ones who can control ourselves so what I can say is I will stay as me no other than but me. I wanna say thank @good-karma for this opportunity to speak our thought in this wonderful initiative of yours! More blessings to you!
STEEM ON!

Could you please also share with us your expectations and New Yearβs Resolutions.
Massive thanks @good-karma
New year resolutions are good most times. Goals that couldn't be fulfilled due to obligations, woukd be fulfilled come 2018.
For the year 2018 my main intention is to return to those goals that for some reason I could not finish or specify in 2017! finish my studies, that my family in Venezuela can overcome adversities and build a new future! and above all, Be Happy!
hello @ good-karma, I do not know, because it's 365 days which can happen to you as many things as you expected as you never want them to. I am really satisfied with health and well-being for my children, my brothers, my parents, my husband and all those beautiful people that make my days wonderful. and that my God gives me strength to keep going and make my children a good man ... otherwise I do not worry, as long as I have life and health my expectations will be with my children eating the world.
Postscript: this contest is excellent, luck and thanks.
Thanks for excellent post.i always follow your post.resteem and upvote it
2018 should be a self-conscious year. This means learning how to choose a battle that suits my ability. I must be more aware of what is worth fighting for, this will ensure that I am in the right corridor. By 2018, I will take the time to reflect on myself and get to know myself better. No matter how ridiculous this is, I will make a list of anything that interests me and I will do it passionately. And I will never think what people think. Tell me when to try something different and when to stop. Happy New Year @ goog-karma
Great works, I wish you success
Nice,,, vote me@good-karma
Good.dear bro.Nice to meet you. I came from Myanmar.Please follow me again.
Thanks for sharing
I always stay excited about future, because we should expect the unexpected to happen, so i like this mystery of future. In 2017 i failed in my some of work and felt as standing at the weaker side. But in 2018 i will back more strongly. Thanks for the great contest.
Happy new year and Christmas day in advance.
Have a great day and stay blessed.
The new year excites me so much because I am just completing a new phase of my life (a university graduate in mechanical engineering) and looking forward to the next. My new year resolutions are just to be a better person to the society to be a solution where there is a problem and to start walking up my way to the top in my field.
