It's that time of year. 2015 is ending and 2016 is right around the corner! Just like everyone else, I view the new year as a great opportunity to make resolutions, something that will make your life better.
In years past I have always made the cliche resolution of either losing weight or eating better, and I always disappoint myself, because no matter how hard I try I never seem to lose weight. However, I have recently come to terms with my curvy body and have basically said 'screw it'. I want to continue to eat healthy, but losing weight is no longer a priority of mine.
Now, I'll admit, I am notorious for setting goals and not keeping them. Remember my Advent goals? One of them was to make sure I go to confession. Yeah, totally didn't make it. I don't want to make excuses, but I can only go to confession on Saturday afternoon. I either had something going on during every Saturday during Advent, or I was sick. Ugh. Epic fail.
So, what are my goals for 2016? Are they attainable? I certainly hope so.
1) Reach 100 Facebook Likes! (I'm currently at 71, so I think I can reach 100 by the end of the year!)
2) Budget my money! (I took Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University class at my church and I want to apply the concepts more to my life. I got a cute Budget Planner from May Designs and I love it so far!)
3) Start a novel! (I plan on participating in NaNoWriMo this November. I have a story line developing in my mind as we speak and I want to put it to paper!)
4) Organize my house...one room at a time! (This one is very important to me. However, I hate to clean and I have a hard time staying on track with things like this. Do you have suggestions on how I can stay on track?)
5) Pay more attention to my husband! (I love my husband very much! However, I work days and he works most evenings. We don't get to spend much time together and we have even less time on our hands now that we have a toddler on the loose!)
6) Finally, I want to pray more! (Any of you following my blog know I have a problem remembering to pray and keep God at the center of my life. This is something I need to keep working on.)

| Me trying to plan 2016! |
I think your goals sound very attainable. I really need to get organized this year in my room and in life in general. I'm going to sit down and really make a plan. Thanks for the inspiration. Hope 2016 is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI always love these type of posts. They always make me feel warm, sentimental and fuzzy inside. I love reflecting on the year and just how much one can accomplish. It's been a trying one for me as well but I know that for 2016 I will have to pick one word for me. That might just be the word....trust.
ReplyDeleteOh and #5....I couldn't agree more.
God Bless,
