New year, new beginnings, new start – that’s what I’m talking about! I’m really excited to start the new year, I think mostly because I need a new start, and I’ve got a new attitude.
So with that, I have a list of goals. I’m not really a resolution girl, and I’m not sure why? Is it the word, the commitment, the fear of failure, the formality of it all? who knows? But goals, goals are good. Goals I can do!
So for all prosperity here is my unedited list of goals for 2009:
- Bake more cupcakes
- Live each day fully and freely. Is that too cliche?
- Get a new job
- Don’t work so much
- Get more spiritual
- Laugh more
- Journal more on paper
- Organize, organize, organize! Did I say organize?
- Start family game night again
- Get back to spinning 10 minutes every morning
- Dance!
- Don’t fear paperwork! Putting it off does not make it go away.
- Take items off the before I die list
This is more for my benefit than yours, for when I lose the piece of paper it really is written on, and it’s still very much a work in progress, but it’s a start. More importantly it’s something to blog about! :)

And now that I have added pretty picture - this post is complete :)
It really is going to be a good year you all. I feel it, feel it in my bones. Ha! I said you all and didn’t even blink.









If you’re trying to say it Southern it needs to be y’all. Not you all. :D Nice set of goals!
Those all sound like great goals. I agree that goals is a better way of reframing our lives. Good luck.
Great plans for the year. Especially the cupcake part. :-)
I love your list… it’s thoughtful and takes into account the important things. I wish you joy of it, and may you accomplish nearly everything, if not all of it.
Also, if you want a ride into knitting, I’m more than happy to come get you and drop you back home. It’s not far, and I’m usually killing time before sushi/knitting anyway. Homebound against your own freewill sucks, I know! I spent a year without a car once.
Great list! Happy New Year!
