Happy New Year!
A couple days ago I went to Facebook, email, and here on the Sip and Go Girl website to ask you what you resolve to do with your relationships in 2013.
Here’s what you said you plan for your relationships in 2013.
Erin says, “Prioritizing! Keeping in perspective what really matters. Life is too short to worry about the unimportant.”
Angela is concentrating on family and friends. “My Grandmother and I used to be very close. Life keeps me busy. I want her to know that she is a part of my busy life. She likes to play bingo at the casino. For moral reasons I do not. She would like nothing more than for me to join her. I will not. I would like to find a healthier way to spend time with her.”
Angela also wants to “spend more one on one time with my 9 year old son. Even if it means making an appointment to play Wii together.”
Things are also going to be more festive for Angela in 2013. “Start a family/friends game night that my friend Jess and I have talked about forever. Do it once a month, rotating houses. It’s safer and cheaper than going out to the bars. And if we invite friends we will still have chances to meet new people.”

Albert might have misunderstood the question, but maybe fitness is part of his relationships? He says, “Get a new eliptical trainer. The stationary bike just aint doin’ it!”
Rebecca loves her family, but she wants some boundaries. “Spend less time traveling with my mom. This is a hard one because she has no one else to travel with and yet she drives me bonkers.”
She’s going to cultivate more beauty. “Spend more time creating – my number one goal! Spend more time doing things outside.”
On The DL, an active writer here on sipandgogirl.com, told me she wants “to throw my anxiety to the side, to trust all will work out how it’s supposed to, and remember that I am enough on my own.”
Lynden is also reminding herself, me, and everyone else in the world to trust and take care of themselves.
“Everyday invest in loving, respecting and honoring myself more. I sometimes look in the mirror and find a person that I revile. How could that person be me? Well, she is. So, my resolution is to love fabulous, irresistible me, passionately, every day. No one else can do it; it is my job – an inside job. ALL else will follow.”
I LIVE my life…not just write about someone else’s dreams ..and failures! I have my own dreams, have had my own failures and I have learned and enjoyed every step,of the way…even this step with you is a lesson learned. So run along little girl and start to do relationship therapy on another schmuck…give out all that wonderful advise to them …sound like the expert in these matters of the heart…but at the end of the day be careful and take note of what YOU have to give… It will be impossible to love someone with a cold heart and a mind full of just ideas…
Think more softly. Enjoy your life quietly. For goodness sake stop giving out relationship advise….you have no qualifications in this area!
Assuming I’m not too late on this, my New Year’s Relationships Resolution is to avoid relationships. I am coming into the home stretch with my divorce and suddenly men are coming out of the woodwork. Great, but then I have to tell them all that I have no interest whatsoever in romance or sex. As in at all. As in don’t even try to kiss me goodnight. Puts quite a damper on things, I must say. At least any guys who persevere are clearly interested in me, not my body.
