Goals and Challenges not Resolutions

 

Today is the First of January 2024! It's been a nice quiet day, a little chilly for Florida but since I had no plans I didn't really care!!

I decided a long time ago that I was not a fan of the word so tied to the beginning of the year...RESOLUTION(S). It seems that every time I made one or more of those things I never kept a one! So I set goals, doable goals, nothing crazy like walking at least one step more than I did the day before! I also set challenges for myself, like reading a certain number of books for this year, that's easy to keep track of thanks to the app "Goodreads", this years goal is 36 books, 3 a month! I am also going to re-read books by SEP (Susan Elizabeth Philips), I am going to add to the read list by trying to get through most of Heather Grahams "Krewe of Hunters" series, currently I'm reading "Pale as Death" #25 in the series! (Currently there are 38 books in the series)

I would also like to "do" some of the Photography challenges I found on Pinterest! First I need to find my camera as it is hiding somewhere in my room!

I'm also going to set a goal of donating and or clean up at least one box from my storage unit each month! when I'm there I can also take inventory of all my Lego sets! at one time I had a spreadsheet of them all but as my computers have changed over the last 20 plus years that information is now lost.

day 4 of January 2016

48 days until the Daytona 500...

Trying to eat better, a more balanced diet, drink more water, walk more, save more...

yes, I still make no resolutions!


Blogging everyday or at least trying too...baby steps here too, scattered thoughts until I decide if I have something important to say or rather write!

day 3 of the new year

Woke up to a winters day, overcast and colder than any day since winter official began!

Hate to think that the end of my New Years mini vacation is going to end with a dreary day and I have to work 5 whole days before my next day off...dang! (holiday definitely have me spoiled)

The best thing about today is it's only 7 Sunday's until the Daytona 500!!

and yes I do not make resolutions but I am all for making changes, so I hope to improve my eating habits, to walk more, read more, be better organized...but these are not resolutions!!


Best thing about today is that on this date last year I adopted the most adorable mouthy little tuxedo kitten, 3 months old and 3 pounds...at this moment he's maybe a tad over 13 pounds, curled up in his little tepee house taking a catnap! He's been a wonderful son and he came at the perfect time.
