A
fter the last of the eggnog is poured, the holiday cheer has faded, and tinder-dry Christmas trees are put on the
curb for recycling, it is time to refl ect on the past year and wonder what we can do to make ourselves, and the
world, for that matter, better in the new year ahead. New Year’s resolutions give us the chance to wipe away
disappointments and short-falls of 2018. We can all start anew with a clean slate for 2019 by setting goals for things
we want to improve on and change. Although many people make resolutions, few of us actually stick with them longer
than a few weeks. Many folks share the same goal, such as losing weight. But surprisingly,
TODAY found that the
old-time tradition of making New Year resolutions is not only alive and well in our communities, but that the goals are
getting more creative, too. While strolling around the streets of Gilroy, Morgan Hill and San Martin, we met nineteen
locals who are optimistic that if they can only reach their personal goals, they can improve themselves for 2019.
We hope you will join us in cheering them on!

What’s your New Year’s Resolution?
I want to do better
with maintaining
my relationships
and staying in
contact on a more
regular basis with
family and friends.

To master two
new trade crafts in
my field such as
aerial drone shots
and video for real
estate and wed-
dings. I also want
to improve my
internal processes
to increase ef-
ficiencies.
