I forgot to say thank you to those of you who took the time to visit this blog last year....to comment....to encourage and to give me feedback. So let me remedy that ...... Thank You!!! ~ I really appreciate it.
This was taken directly from TipNut, but it's something to think about....
11 Goals To Enhance Your Life This Year
- Choose One New Thing To Learn: Take a class for something you’ve always wanted to know how to do…knitting, woodworking, embroidery, gourmet cooking, first aid, oil painting, wine making.
- Eliminate One Negative Distraction: Media gossip capturing too much time from your day? Spending too much time complaining with others? World news haunting you hourly? Cut the negative noise, focus on weeding out one distracting habit at a time.
- Embrace One Positive Influence: Focus on making room for more time for something positive in your life. Nurturing friendships, seeking uplifting discussion or information, spiritual reflection.
- Honor Your Family: With your time, laughter, forgiveness, respect, generous acts, support and encouragement…then enjoy what blossoms from that.
- Nurture Your Home: Determine areas that need improvement–cleaning, baking & cooking, organize. Make pretty the best you can with the resources you have. Appreciate.
- Develop One Healthier Lifestyle Habit: Exercise, eat better, cut fatty foods and snacks, quit smoking, cut the soda pop, walk more.
- Stretch Yourself–Do Something Terrifying: Public speaking, belly dance class, volunteer for your political party of choice, fundraise for a good cause.
- Teach Something: Volunteer to teach a community class, start a blog and share your experience or knowledge, share family recipes, history and traditions with younger family members.
- Reduce Something: Clutter, debt, overspending, household waste (recycle).
- Focus On One Area For Increased Independence: Make more instead of buying ready-made (food, gifts), learn how to fix more instead of hiring or purchasing replacement, grow more of your own food–even if it’s just kitchen herbs, work on debt reduction.
- Stretch Your Generosity: Regularly do something a bit painful that helps someone else–give a co-worker a ride home, offer a helping hand to an elderly neighbor, donate clothing and household items to a struggling family–all with no strings attached.
Some goals you may let go of over time, but some will flourish. The fun is appreciating the journey–and where it leads you to next.
