New Year's resolutions

“My best New Year’s resolution was the year I decided to get rid of 10 percent of my personal possessions. By giving them away to family, friends and charities, it was possible to reduce the hold of material possessions on my life.”

-Rod Scott

“The best New Year’s resolution I ever made was to stop making New Year’s resolutions. I decided to surrender my desires and goals, entrusting them instead to the one who designed me. Every day is a new beginning, full of opportunities to make a lasting impact.”

-Amanda Burg

“My best New Year’s resolution was one I made two years ago and it’s probably the only one I’ve ever kept. I resolved to read the Bible in a year. I have a Bible app on my phone and chose a one-year chronological plan.”

-Michelle Grant

“My best New Year’s resolution was to purchase a family membership to the Hoover Recreation Center. As a result, I feel rejuvenated and believe that exercise contributes to a longer, healthier lifestyle.”

-Sharon Perry

“My best New Year’s resolution was to eat fish twice a week. It was not the most creative resolution but it was effective because each week I had a fresh start, a new chance to get it right. It was my most successful resolution to date — even my kids got involved.”

-Kelly Kidd
