The clock finally counted down to zero, the ball dropped, and the year of 2014 has turned its last page. Now, it’s on to 2015 and that dreaded word that goes hand-in-hand with each new calendar year: resolutions.
Maybe your resolution is something as simple – yet, strangely tough to keep to at first – as remembering to write 2015 rather than 2014. Maybe you forgo the New Year’s resolution tradition. Whatever your choice, here are some resolutions from people who live in and work in Crawford County.
“My New Year’s resolution is to try and take care of myself so that I am able to take care of Lance, since not knowing how long he will be sick with the rare disease he is fighting,” said Maria Winemiller, a local photographer who has been taking care of her husband Lance Winemiller after he was diagnosed with Castleman’s Disease.
“My resolution is not to worry about the little things in life, the things you have no control over,” said April Enzor, who recently had to deal with a family tragedy. “Cherish every moment with family and friends. And keep negativity away from (my daughter) and myself.”
On Crawford County Now’s Facebook page, Robert Merritt had one piece of advice: “Don’t make promises that you probably won’t keep. Just set goals to aim for.”
Shawn Spangler said he will resolve to pray more as a family.
“Just try to be a better person next year than I have in the past,” Lori Bollinger said.
If your New Year’s resolution is to exercise more, the Humane Society Serving Crawford County is taking part in WoofTrax’s Walk for your Dog mobile app. Using the app and selecting the humane society while walking your dog will help to donate money to the local shelter. Or, if walking outside during the winter weather doesn’t suit you, memberships are always available at local gyms and the YMCA.
