december 31 snuck up on me. hardcore. like i was preparing myself for the end of year, but somehow, well i say somehow, but it snuck up on me, yet again. it always done. i think its because i find myself in a christmas hangover for quite a few days after all the festivities have basically ended. does anyone else experience that christmas (holiday) hangover feeling? it can be pretty gnarly. like i can easily stay inside like a social recluse & not feel the least bit bad about it. and then bam!, new year!
the resolution has such a nasty reputation. pretty sure the definition can be clearly put as: "make them & break them" because more than likely that's how it happens. at least in my realm of the world it does. i am more of a goals type of girls. things i want to strive towards. aim for. achieve. there will be setbacks. there will be bumps in the road. no road to success & achievement is ever smooth and straight, so don't let anyone ever convince you otherwise. so goals, that's what i set. & then i have months were a set specific goals to help me obtain that final goal. seems more realistic to me that way.
and always write them somewhere - so, this year, for me, my blog is my writing spot for those such goals.
- no dining out
- learn to sew a real project on my machine
- grow this blog of mine & monetize
- refinish all the furniture in my house that's on the current to do list
- get the remaining rooms painted
- grow my social media accounts
- get benjamin, our loving, but stubborn child potty trained (or try atleast)
- bulk up our emergency fund
- take a girls trip back to waco
- service projects
- work towards protecting my joy
what kind of goals are you striving towards in 2017? link back here; i'd to read along.
