Good list! You can do all! I have faith in you!
ReplyDeleteSSW- Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteWhen I started this list at first I was told I should be a little more ambitious with my goals.
I thought about it for a bit, then decided these are MY goals, they surround a more social decorum.
Most of these get me out of my comfort zone and prevent me from procranstinating too long.
So thanks again for not tearing into my list asking "why" I have the items I do. :)
WOOT you can do it!
ReplyDeleteI really like this list idea - might have to do one of these some time. Hope the dentist appointment goes fine when it comes!
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt!!
ReplyDeleteGood For you-- everyone needs goals and goals are a personal thing! I have faith that you will accomplish whatever you set out to do.
ReplyDeleteAs for me... eh, not so much! For one, I'm already past 40 (41!) and for twosies... I pretty much have no will power to do stuff like that.
I think I suck sometimes.... LOL!
Thanks Kas - Normally I don't think I'd do a list like this either. However by doing so, it makes me more accountable for the things I've been putting off. Like going to the dentist etc.
ReplyDeleteNow that it's on the internetz I have annoymous people who can hold me to it too...
I'm a list maker. I have to send myself an email a couple times a week of "To Do Tonight", cos it's on a list, I HAVE to do it... mostly of chores etc, but I have a tendanies to put things off and off then end up with hours of work to do. I hate that, so I make my little ocd work for me.
