I will admit... I didn't really wanted you to get here. I realize after Back to the Future and all the classic movies I love.... I am officially old *cries*
In this new year, we yet again have the bright eyed and rosy cheeked outlook to WONDERFUL AMAZING GOALS TO ACCOMPLISH - 50% effort if you order in the next 5 minutes!!
*jumps up and down*
But no seriously, I am right there with people making unrealistic goals and so - I've decided to make more down to earth goals to keep me sane~
1.) Complete the below 2015 Book challenge:
 |
| Oh yes... I'm so ready! |
UNFORTUNATELY this will not help my book budget per month...hrrrmmm.... *whistles*
2.) Finish Basement -
Now I know you all were there for the early blog posts of the house buying/move-in here.
I STILL am not done with our basement *looks away guilty* ... *sigh*
 |
| ...by doing nothing at all... ugh |
So this one actually has a few sub bullet points: Finish painting, move furniture, hang paintings, buy furniture, steam clean all the things, etc, etc.
This is realistic goal cuz really... I SHOULD BE DOING THIS ANYWAY.... yeah... dang it.
3.) Blog more -
 |
| Or read more...or drink tea... it's a toss up... |
Not that you all care really too much about my life, but hey - I enjoy writing and writing is good for the soul. (don't quote me on that, pretty sure it's not verified).
I've been trying more and more to write in general and I would like to start with baby steps (like this blog). Even baby steps count as progress!
4) Go on a Vacation -
 |
| Not that I want to kill my dreams early... but let's rip off the band-aid now.. |
So something I noticed when I was able to take 2 weeks off during the Holidays... I didn't take a vacation in 2014. Maybe my definition of vacation differs from others, but to me this means: Taking a least a week off, going somewhere out of town, & involves reasonable prior planning.
This did not happen in 2014 (side note: I was broke from house buying)
So this should be a realistic goal of 2015 - if it doesn't happen though... my bank won't be sad even if my mental state will suffer.
Do you all have realistic goals? I hope so!
Frankly - the gym doesn't happen everyday and bills come every month still and no they didn't forget about you, and no - you didn't win the lottery. :p
This shouldn't make you sad - it should slowly make you change little things till you CAN and PLAN to work out 5 times a week (when pigs fly) and you have no problem paying bills on time (when you don't stress and forget about it).
As John said "Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans." - John Lennon
Life happens - you never plan for the good or bad. You can only do what you can and realize that what you do is enough. :)
