It’s here. A new year. A new opportunity to…well….set some new goals. Last year, the goals I set for myself were attainable for the most part. I was kinder (at least, I think I was); I gave myself permission to take some “me” time, whether it was to spend a whole day watching movies or just taking a nap (those were few and far between); I did not pass up an opportunity to tell my loved ones I loved them so I did well on last years’ goals and I will continue to strive for these things because one should not try to be kind for only a year, one should try to be kind always and one should tell their friends and family they are loved all the time, not just for 365 days.
All that
being said, the mistress of this blog has a To-do list…daily, monthly and
yearly so I’m taking a page from her book and listing my goals (no, I know I won’t do a daily To-Do list, but I can
do a yearly one so here we go…
Lose those annoying
thirty pounds that have been hanging around way too long. I have a treadmill
now so no excuses!
Finish one
(maybe two) of the 13 partial manuscripts I have in my computer and celebrate
the releases of A Scandalous Woman and A Good Man for Katie, both coming out
February of this year.
Celebrate
the friendships I’m lucky enough to have and cherish the love of my life (DH
and I will be married 32 years this year).
Learn
something new.
Don’t wait
until I have a zero balance on my Visa so I can download more books to my
Kindle….might never happen!
And that’s
it….well….not really. There are many more goals/challenges I could list but
those are the main ones.
So what’s
on your agenda for 2013? Let’s hope it’s a great year full of possibilities!
As always, happy reading!
Marie

Hi Marie, as you said above I have lots of goals, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, plus those special projects that get thrown in between. But I think my biggest goal is to work at a reasonable pace on a regular basis instead of running at 80mph for 8 weeks and then going at 15mph for two. I'm thinking a moderate pace consistently would be better for my body and my brain. So that is my goal :-)
ReplyDeleteAn admirable goal, Alexis, and one that can be accomplished! Good luck!
