Suddenly I See....


Goal Setting. Ever since I was a little muffin, i tried to set goals at the begining of the year. and every year I have mostly failed. So I quit setting them! But this year I decided I was a big kid and I was going to set some goals. Well, really I only set one.

This year I decided to leave things better than I found them. That's a long title for clean up my own messes. Pretty much I was tired of looking around my house thinking, wow, where's my maid? So I've just set a personal goal to clean up right after I make a mess so that it is just gone My goal goes further than that, in leaving things better than I found it, I decided I wanted to have a more in shape body next january, than I do right now. So I've started working out. I love it, I can tivo workout shows and watch them first thing in the morning! It's great! You really can't beat working out, I mean it's hard, but when you get to do it right in your own living room it's great!

I also have a better understanding of the Gospel next year, so I've started reading my scriptures more regularly. I really want to get through the Bible. I never have, so this is my chance to leave things better!

(wow I really am going on here!)

Anyway, since I usually fail with traditional goal setting, I think this might be good for me. Just to have an idea that come next year I want to have left my life better than I am finding it right now. I think if I can do that I am going to be one happy gal :)

take care ya'll! darb
