The "Goal" Post

OK, I stuck my neck out and advertised to the (Facebook) world that I was creating this blog, so now I've gotta follow through with it.  :-)

To ensure that I don't fall back into my old habits and truly do evolve this year, I am posting the goals I will strive to reach before I hit the "F" word -- 50.

• Be a better wife/daughter/mother/sister/friend by letting go of old baggage and starting fresh (and pray that they do the same for me).
• Be less judgemental and more tolerant of others and their actions/thoughts/beliefs (even though I'm probably right anyway).
• Keep negative people with their negative vibes as far away as possible.  (Life's too short to allow yourself to get sucked into someone else's morass.)
• Find a serene place in my mind so I can escape to it when needed (and trust me, I typically need to on a daily basis).
• Keep in better contact with old friends and people who have been important throughout my life. (Key West here we come!)
• Lose some weight. (I'm old enough to know to not put down a specifics number that won't be achieved, so allow me some vagary here, please.)
• Exercise more -- and more consistently.  (Consistency is the issue for sure.  I'm talking at least 3 times a week -- every week.)
• Take at least 3 classes in something fun/new/exciting. (Raise your hand if you've neglected your own personal growth while raising your children -- or significant other!)
• Give back to the community by volunteering  to help with at least 2 new programs this year. (We can never overpay the gifts we've received by working and helping others.)
• Finally, have more fun!

OK -- so what do you think?  I'd be interested in hearing what you're personal goals are and how you plan to achieve them. Who knows - maybe we can work on them together.
