Other GON Reader Comments: • So much depends on what you personally do and how you react. My plan for 2023 is to do more planning on how I will meet the challenges of aging. I have begun seriously thinking about things that will continue to make my life a positive and enjoyable experience. Whatever else happens, I can't control. I will deal with it as it comes and hope for better days in the future! • Hopeful that health will improve and all the family can gather for a reunion and not a funeral. • I'm really trying to "Stay In The Now" which is do not stress about the past and do not worry about the future. One is gone and the other hasn't happened yet. • Concerned for others in relation to health issues and Covid, but personally feel positive. • It’ll be rough a bit, but good things are happening for a big transition! Stock up with food, water, medicines, etc. • Worried. Poverty rate in my county 52%, unemployment over 12%. Inflation is climbing. Prices are rapidly rising. Government is struggling. While we did very well with COVID-19 the first 2 years, cases are slowly rising. I am remaining optimistic, yet worry is there. • My husband passed away last July and it has been a tough road since then for me. I am hopeful that 2023 will bring new positive opportunities. • I mostly see good things ahead. There are a few tough things coming up, but mostly good. • I’m going to shift my focus onto positive things and maintain that attitude. • Just got a new knee, so now I can walk pain free! • I am looking forward to so many things this year, but am starting with the focus of 'Wellness." I want to set new habits and intentions to bring wellness to all areas of my life. Mental, physical, relationships, and more. • I'm a positive person, so I never start anything, including the new year, with negativity. • When you are 76 and getting older, I am always hopeful. I am an optimist and look for positive things. Here is to lots of good happenings in 2023. Back to Reader Web Poll Results Index
