them, according to the University of Scranton’s Journal of Clinical Psychology. The top resolution every year is to lose weight, according to the journal. That’s followed by becoming organized, saving more money, enjoying life more and becoming more fit and healthy. Area residents are among those making 2013 resolutions. “I am a goal-setting queen machine,” said Nancy Ockrin, Crown Point Chamber of Commerce co-chair. “Trust me, you do not want to hear all my various categories of New Year ’s resolutions,
