Hmm... my most recent decision was to give up drinking pop/soda back in January.
I saw your 'Switch' drink in the natural foods section at work, almost picked up a bottle to give it a try but got distracted and forgot it. Will do it next week sometime, though. Although caffeine is my only vice, so I don't see myself giving it up anytime soon!

I'd like to add quiting smoking, but it's been only 2 days, and the third attempt this year, so it's really too soon to include here!
I hope and pray that when I look back on this year that I consider my own going back to school one of the best decisions I made. Right now I am having serious doubts about it. I worry that I'm wasting my time and my student loan money (that has to be paid back) on a degree that won't end up getting me a better job.

This made me smile! I hope when I get there I'm able to retire with enough financial stability to wake up smiling every morning. Actually, I'd like to be able to do that NOW....

For myself, the best life-altering decision I ever made was moving to Illinois to be with Chris. It involved lots of sacrifices, and stepping WAY out of my comfort zone but it has turned out to be the best thing I could have done.
