2009 Goals
>Writing – April Review
>Writing Last – but certainly not least – is writing. In the beginning of this year I set a goal that I would try to write on at least one of my blogs each day. For the most part, I’ve been successful. Well, no, I take that back. I may have published something on each … Continue reading
>Spirituality – April Review
>Spirituality When I set this goal for myself back in January, I had hoped to spend more time reevaluating my spiritual side and values. I started off the year reading these daily Bible passages, but they ended up being too Christian, too preachy for me. So I unsubscribed to those. In January our book club … Continue reading
>Reading – April Review
>Reading Yes, yes, I know it’s May. I got a little sidetracked there, huh? That’s what happens when I limit myself to half an hour of computer time each day in lieu of spending time with guests. My goal at the beginning of the year was to not re-read any books this year that I’ve … Continue reading
>Parenting – April Review
>Parenting OK, so basically all the parenting goals I set for myself haven’t panned out so well. I’ve been having trouble balancing my time between “me time” and “being Mommy time”, and so I’ve relied on the TV much more than I intended to. I haven’t been as great at getting down to their levels, … Continue reading
>Office Paperwork – April Review
>Office Paperwork Back in January, I had said that I wanted to get on top of all our paper and electronic bills and get them all organized. I got partway there; I organized all the paperwork by biller but I never got around to scanning and shredding the paper documents. ~~~~~ This next quarter, it’s … Continue reading
>Nutrition – April Review
>Nutrition Well. There’s not much I can say regarding nutrition that’s really great. I have not cut back on the amount of desserts I eat (nor the donuts…), and I know that’s not helping me at all. I haven’t been taking my vitamins. I’m not eating as many veggies as I should be. Although I’ve … Continue reading
>Marriage – April Review
>Marriage So far, this has been a good year for Tony and I. I’ve found that we’ve been getting along really, really well without having to put an extraordinary amount of effort into it, which is really nice. We’re able to enjoy each other’s company without having to put work or effort into it; for … Continue reading
>Friendships – April Review
>Friendships My goal for my friendships this year was to stay in better touch with them than I have in previous years. I had aimed for calling more, but making phone calls really isn’t my style. Instead, I’ve been trying to keep in touch by commenting here and there on Facebook, or by sending out … Continue reading
>Financial – April Review
>Financial I am proud, elated, and pumped about the fact that Tony and I are doing so well in this regard. In January we’d been on our cash-only budgeting system for two months, and it was still new to us. But in the past four months, we’ve not only stuck to our budget and using … Continue reading
>Exercise – April Review
>Exercise Finally! I’ve reached an area where I’ve made progress toward my goal! I am very proud to say that as of three weeks ago, I began running up to five miles! I’ve never run this far before in my life, so to have made that much progress seems, to me, to be almost unbelievable. … Continue reading
