One month

It's the first day of February, so I thought I'd do a check-up of my new year's resolutions.

Finish the Harry Potter series: A+. I started the final book in the series on Monday. However, I'm a bit sad that I will be finishing it soon.

Stick to my budget: A-. I went a little over budget for the month, but it was still great improvement. Baby steps, people...baby. steps.

Organize and Clean - B. As mentioned here, I have rearranged my priorities. This goal may need to be revisited and restructured.

Pray more - A. My heart is becoming more complete by the day.

Another year

I wasn't going to blog about any of my New Year's "goals" this year, but then I read one of my favorite bloggers - Maybe if you just relax - and I felt inspired. Also, I looked back at my blog and saw that I wrote about my resolutions for 2010 and 2011 (though the latter was more of me professing my rebellion to resolutions.) So, let me jot down what I would like to accomplish in 2012:


Finish the Harry Potter series - Though I am late on this trend, I began reading the series shortly before Thanksgiving, and I have almost finished the fifth book, so I think this is an attainable, and enjoyable, goal.


Stick to my budget - Single parent = limited income. I have outlined a very detailed budget for myself, but it doesn't do well not to follow it.


Organize and Clean - More like "get my stuff together and keep it together." When I'm organized and have a clean house, I feel more together and less stressed.


Pray more - no explanation needed.


I also like Jennepper's idea of setting a handful of goals each month. I already do this in regards to my house. I like to make a plan of what I want to complete in the house each month, and sometimes I get to cross off all of the items, and sometimes the list remains untouched. But, hopefully in 2012, I can complete the projects I set out for myself.


Here's to a Happy and Healthy 2012!!
