So, I guess an update on how I am moving.

• Got to 2000 words on book two of the Stephanie McIntyre Investigations series.
• Got two more thing that I already had made listed on my jewelry sales page. 
• Got one new piece of jewelry started. It’s been a while, so I need to get a feel for soldering again. 
• Have a few other projects lined up to start today along with the one new one I started the other day.
• Got a batch of ISBNs ready for books. All prepped and just need other details filled in when the books are done.

Got two things to do here: get the jewelry business going again, and get the second book in a series I am writing done and ready to publish.

Oh wow, you make jewelry? Awesome! Show off your skills please. :)

Well, I am working of getting things listed on my demzon.com site. I just got the first book up on Amazon yesterday at amzn.com/B083G8MQTZ, that’s the first in a series I am writing. More past jewelry pictures from when I have the jewelry business going better is at Facebook.com/demzonstudios.

It's day one of my resolution, despite my coworkers bring me  what  seems like 2 tons of junk food, I haven't been tempted. Breakfast this morning was a birthday cake remix flavored protein shake, and coffee. I can do this, I have to.

Woot! Awesome... you totally got this! My day 2 is actually day 1, but going well... am a bit hungry, but only 40 more minutes until dinner time.

I'd like to get healthier both in body and mind. I already eat quite well, but I do eat a lot and I do love carbs. So I'm starting the new year off with a bit of a cleanse, a week of eating soups (lots of variety though), and then raw blueberry porridge in the morning. Hopefully that will get my stomach back to a normal size, and if not, well at least I've started to develop a habit of eating breakfast!

I'd also like to make mindfulness and exercise more of a regular habit.

I'd also like to carry on my digital cleanse/decentralisation. Last year, I made a conscious effort to take control of my online life. I switched to private (and environmentally sustainable) email, a secure cloud service, and got rid of Windows on my laptop.

I'd like to find a new job.

I'm kinda sidestepping the whole "resolution" thing and going for "would like to" instead. Hopefully, it makes it more of a want in my mind rather than a need or "should do this".

Day 1 - I arrived at my grandmother's to wish her a happy new year and she bought us cakes, and my favourite wines (which she smilingly told me), and fresh salmon, and cheeses. What was I to do? Break my granny's heart? Surely not... So I decided to resolutely postpone my resolutions by just onnnneeee more day and eat all that came into my sight.
But today, I am going to be good! Whole-grain cracker for breakfast and for lunch, and bouillabaisse for dinner. Today I have really started and I know I can do it!

i will clear more clutter from my life. 

My resolution is to wake up earlier every morning and do something productive to get my head in the game for the day and help me be more mindful.  I have an area already picked out for stretching, a morning meditation and some light work-out at home before going to work.  I've never been a morning person though and crave those extra minutes of sleep, so it's going to be tough for me.  

My New Year's resolution is to lose my Christmas kilos before March... by that time we move into our new place with a new gym and I want to get properly toned up there before the end of the year.

I really  need to get back  in shape, and to start  eating  better. My New Year's resolution is to get fit, and to cut back on the  junk food and beer.

Did you know that 80 percent of new year's resolutions fail? Is your new year's resolution to get into shape? Unfortunately we can't all be blessed with Odo's shapeshifting genes! Or perhaps you want to learn a new skill, play an instrument, or speak a new language! Or perhaps, you just want to share what you are grateful for in 2020? Let's join forces and try to stick to our goals together! Write down your resolution here and get support from the stonewall gaming community. Share your tips, share your struggles, share your victories, share your recipes. Together we can make all our resolutions reality! 

Today, I'm grateful that I managed to survive the entire day of running Winter Whirl, despite being an introvert with a limited processing capacity. 

I would also like to invite everyone to try and continue expressing gratitude each day in your private life. Maybe next year we can compare notes and see if it had a lasting effect on your outlook?

Today is all about SGN. It's come together like a ragtag fleet in search of new members and new gaming platforms. To gayly go where no LGBT+ has gone before. And in that journey the bonds of friendship forms and memories made. Here's to you all. Llap

I'm a bit late but holiday distractions kept me away for a few days. I was saving one for last: I am grateful for this fleet. I consider a bunch of you my friends, and I don't bestow that title lightly. I am so glad I've had the good fortune to be part of this amazing group of people for several years now. I've played a lot of games and been a member of a lot of guilds, fleets, and other associations, and this one is, by far, the best of them.

I wish I had a way to show my appreciation for the people in this fleet, but there are just so many of you that it'd take months to thank all of you properly. Maybe if you all took numbers or just kept it to small groups. I'll see what I can work out.

Today, I'm grateful that despite all the damage I've tried to do to my body and mind over the years, I can still walk, I've never broken a bone, I have little scars and that I'm not missing any parts of the body. I'm grateful for being in more-or-less one piece, despite everything.

i am grateful for my family, my friends (especially my Stonewall fleeties), my health, my neighbors, my job...oops that's more than one and i could make this list much longer

Day 7:

I am very grateful to Stonewall Gaming Networks creation.. within these walls of safety I have made so many great and fun memory's over these past.. 7 years, and have made a lot of fantastic friends.
Since the beginning I wanted to be part of the Admins who bring the community together on event days both in game and out.
Im grateful for having the opportunity to have done that now.. and hopefully Ive inspired others to help bring creation and fun into wanting to become the next generation of admins, so i can sit back and cheer you on from a distance!

For this seventh day, I chose the most basic thing: I am grateful for LIFE.

There would be a lot of stuff to say about my personal reasons to be be thankful to be alive every single day, but I think I'm gonna keep sad and horrible stories out of this wonderful uplifting thread (which I am very grateful for that we had it! It was lots of fun! You people wrote very inspiring things!) and just say:

Life is precious. And if you ever think it's too hard, my advise would be to try making it through just one more day. Or even take it 10 seconds at a time.

Lechaim!
