I have been thinking about my goals for 2014 for a couple of weeks now. I still haven't written anything down and still struggling with what is realistic for me, but here goes so far.
-Read my Bible daily. I bought a Chronological Bible this year and want to start at the beginning and read it through.
-Journal about things going on and just my thoughts at least once a week.
-Post to my blog at least once a month. Kind of let it slide this year.
-Plant a wonderful heirloom and organic garden and pray it does not get spray drift again.
-Only start quilts that have a destination. I have a niece getting married towards the end of the year. I already have the fabric for her
quilt. I want to make her a log cabin quilt in earthy colors. I hope to start it soon. I also have a niece and a nephew who will both graduate high school in 2015. After the wedding quilt is done, I need to start theirs.
-Try to finish some of the many, many quilts that I have started, but not finished. (May finish some of these for the niece and nephew.)
-Absolutely no BOMs this year. (block of the month). I have a tendency to buy the fabric, make a few blocks, then get sidetracked. LOL
-Buy no fabric or yarn unless needed for a specific project. (This one will be hard for me.
)
-Work on gifts throughout the year. I would like to finish one gift per month. Sure would make next Christmas easier.
-Eat healthy and lose 50 lbs. I know I can do it if I just commit.
-Exercise 4 to 5 times a week. Walk 30 minutes daily, weather permitting.
-Be kinder to my husband.
I know this seems like a lot, but I am so tired of the way things are in my life, so it is time for a change. The year 2013 was not a good one for me. I hope 2014 is better.
I have a couple more that I am considering, but not completely committed to yet. I will share them here. Maybe that will help me to step up.
I would like to eat no chocolate nor drink any Pepsi for the whole year, except special occasions. (Like birthday, Mother's Day, anniversary, grandkids' birthdays etc. Even then, limit myself.) I must get a handle on this chocolate and Pepsi addiction! I am diabetic for crying out loud. My last A1c was 6.1, but I know I can get it below 6 if I just leave the chocolate and pop alone.
I wish you all good luck with your goals in the coming year. Now I need to write mine down and fasten them here in front of me, so I have to see them daily.
Blessings,
Winona
I think my word for this year will be 'FINISH'.
