I guess the name of the game is to, first declare loudly and proudly our goals for 10. Okeydokey, here we go:

Long term, I am focusing on the following areas: Physical, Spiritual, Emotional, Mental, Financial, and Service. Most of those goals are very standard and good: execrise daily, seek the Lord early, write in my journal regularly, etc...I wanted to set some goals this year that are a little more light hearted, and (I think) will help me get back to being more like myself, after having a little on just 9 short weeks ago. So, for January, here are my short term goals:

1- Learn a new (clean) joke every week.
2-Make someone laugh everyday.
3-Find joy in the mundane and everyday routine
4-Do a good turn daily, and write down my experience with it. (the things I do for my children totally count towards this one)

Also, I tried to write my long term goals in a memorable way. ie: "get into good enough physical condition that I can run without 'flouncing'."

Long term: we have a goal to own our home before Jeremy is 40. We have 8 years to make that happen. So, we have outlined an accelerated debt pay-off plan which will make that goal a reality. We got way off track of that outline when Christmas came around, so another short term goal for this month is to get back on track with debt pay-off. NOT easy! Wish me luck. It's just so much more fun to be spendy....at least it's more fun in the moment!!:)

Long term goal: to be more positive. I have committed myself to finding a positive way to say everything, and if I cannot find a way to do that, I will not say whatever it is. Especially when it comes to my physical-self. I am watching the words that come out of my mouth, and hoping for big impact. Going along with this, I have committed to express my gratitude everyday. (gratitude in general, to whomever for whatever, and as often as possible.) Yay for positivity!

For service: I plan to start by taking in one meal each month, to someone who needs it if they can be found, or to whoever I want to if not. Very excited about this last one.

Being Goal Oriented has REALLY got me feeling like superwoman. What a great way to live life.
