We all took the time and recapped what we did in 2009 and thought about what worked and what didn't in our lives, right? Well, if you strive to better yourself or just want to have some fun in the new year, you might want to consider writing a list of new activity's to accomplsh in 2010.
I came across the yes and yes blog and she did just that. She listed 31 new things she is going to do before her 31st birthday. What a great idea! I have just a stitch more activities to do since I am, ahem...a teensy bit older.
I might do more of these things, or less but it's thinking about what I want to do and the key is putting it down on paper. Some are not new but they can still be considered a goal to achieve during the course of a year. Once it's written on paper, I can't undo it. Does anyone ever use white out anymore? Once I achieve a goal, I will blog about them and put a link on the right side of my home page to track progress. I am holding myself accountable.
39 things I will do for my 39th year in this world:
