Update on New Year's Goals

I have been meaning to assess how I have been doing in keeping my New Year's goals, but I have had more fun things to post, e.g. Daniel's birthday party.  (Weren't those pictures fun?!)  I mean, what's the point of making goals for the New Year if you never go back to review them?  I should have done this at the beginning of the month, but better late than never, as they say.
  1. I did crochet one baby blanket last month.  I also finished two other ones that were almost done.  
  2. Sarah Beth learns her letters almost as fast as I can teach them to her.  We try for a couple of new ones a week.
  3. Daniel is still not walking for which I am thankful.  I think he will only walk for one or two days, then he will be running.  And I am sure he will get into even more trouble than he does now.  Meanwhile, he pulls up on everything.
  4. Exercise?  What's that?  If my children would only sleep until 8:00 a.m., or if our neighborhood didn't have so many hills, or....
  5. I think I have been doing better with spending time in God's Word.  I bought a new book about the Psalms that I am excited about.  If it continues to be as good, I will tell you about it.
  6. I changed my mind about planning meals monthly.  Weekly meal planning has worked fine for me for years, so why change now?
  7. I have not been doing so well in the hospitality department.  I haven't had anybody over since I made that resolution except for Angela and her husband.  Do they count?  I didn't even invite them; I was just told they were coming.  Oh, and I had another friend over for lunch.  Maybe that one counts.
  8. Facebook.  I really need to set aside some time to join that.  
How about you?  How are you doing with your goals for the new year?

While you didn't technically invite us for this trip, you had invited us before to come whenever we want...so I think it counts :)

And you really, really do need to do facebook. A warning, though -- it will suck your life away at first. Quite addicting. Don't let that scare you, though!!

Angela, your warning makes me think I'd better NOT join Facebook! I don't have much time as it is, and I certainly don't need what little I have to be "sucked away."

You know what they say about great minds thinking alike..; I was just thinking earlier about posting an update about one of my goals for the New Year. But then I thought maybe I should actually DO something in that department before I post about it,lol. Day-to-day living just uses up all our time, doesn't it?

Uh oh, our cold rainy weather is turning me pensive;)

That hospitality goal is a good one! I might try to make that more of a priority this year.

My two goals were to get organized and lose weight. I'm still working on both of them, so I haven't thrown in the towel yet!
