As I managed to reach all of my goals for the year by the end of January, I thought I needed to reset my goals for the year. I saw that some people write a list of 52 goals for the year - one for each week. I find this to be a little too much BUT...I do ike the idea of having a list of goals to reach for. I have always kept a notebook in which I write a list of things I would like to do that month - things with the children - ideas of events/ places to go.....crafts and activities etc etc as well as ideas for me to do for myself or with Lloyd.
This list is a little different though. I thought I'd write a longer list and this is an ongoing kind of list - not that I HAVE to accomplish it all by the end of the year but these are things I would like to try and things I will be aiming for - or attempting at least. It will give me a guide to aim for - when I'm bored or out shopping or need an idea for somewhere to go or a new project.....or something to plan with the kids.....
