this year i want to (in no particular order)
:: slow down :: write at least two short stories :: attempt a collaboration with a friend on a children's book :: listen to more music :: take more pictures of my children - at least one a week :: read through my Bible (i'm in Leviticus) :: share something from my reading here each week :: finish Maddie's quilt :: finish Ben's quilt (it's still almost done) :: do learning/school work with my children at least 4 days a week (we are off to a really good start!) :: share some tips and tidbits about our learning here :: stay home all day most days :: really utilize my etsy shop :: use less natural gas (keep my fire stoked!) :: go on more dates with my husband :: finish going through all those boxes of papers that have followed us for 9 moves in the past 8 years . . . :: stay in this house! :: go on at least 3 camping/backpacking sorts of trips :: help Ben loose 40 pounds :: organize my blog - so you and I can find things in my old posts :: write at least one handwritten letter per week :: be an encouragement :: find the bits of sunshine in every day ::
these are some of my goals. i'm going to revisit this post every couple weeks and make sure that i am working at accomplishing these goals.
what are some of your goals? and how do you plan to stick with them? i think i'll write a bit about sticking with it here soon!
