-short post-
In my January 5th post I set and shared my goals for the year. Now that we are into Q2 of 2018 lets check in and see how I’m doing … Id love to know how you’re doing with your goals too!!!
Do you all set resolutions for the new year? I set a few goals for each year. I was quite ambitious with my list last year so here is my 2018 plan:
- Because of my work schedule it is hard to sign up athletic events like 5K/10K/Stair Climb type events I would do at home. I want to do 1 event this year. If I can work that in my schedule that would be great. – I am still hoping to be able to do this … I haven’t found one that works with my schedule but I may just map a 5K route and see if I can get some friends to do it with me on a Wednesday before it gets too hot. I hear it gets very hot here in SH!
(oh – Christmas week I did Jingle Bell Run 5K with coworkers- it was cold – I don’t like being cold)
- Read 2 books for pleasure- I have started one book. I am enjoying it so far.
- Visit 4 new countries – I have my list ready so I can’t wait to share with you all as it happens about my adventures abroad.- I have been to Bangkok Thailand, Seoul, South Korea, and Hong Kong soon ….
- Pay down some US Debt – lets see how that goes!- YES! I am so glad that this is happening.
- Play in a waterfall – I didn’t get to do this last year and I’m still mad about it!!! – so clearly some things carry over from 2017 and that’s okay- I think I may achieve this in October. We have holiday in October and I am thinking really hard about where to go! Waterfall must be included.
- BE!!! Just BE. Enjoy each day as it comes. Live. Love. Laugh. Smile. Live a life rooted and established in JOY! #EverdayJOY- Yep! I wouldn’t want to live any other way. Life has enough challenges we all know that for sure. May as well smile as much as you can.
I have learned to set realistic goals. Goals that are attainable and that I can actually meet. I am still working hard on these goals – these six goals/things I want to do can totally happen as long as I am focused and consistent.
Have a great week everyone! …Happy Q2 – Happy Spring ….
here are a few recent pics ……
I am going to do my best to live by the ‘Glad Texts’
(one of my favorites is–Psalms 98:4-Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music) — Did you know that there are over 800 Glad Texts in the Bible?!?! More than one for each day of the year for me to live by.
