About Those Goals

Can you believe we're in the last quarter of 2014?  Although the next few months are my favorite season(s), they signal the twilight of yet another year.  The older I get, the faster this train moves, I tell you.  And yet I still have freak out dreams about failing band in high school, which I attribute to my current grad school stresses.  **sigh**

So, where are you on goal accomplishment for the year?  I have to say, it's been a big one for some of my peeps (new babies, new houses, big moves).  I'm proud to say that even though my overarching goal for 2014 was simply to survive, I have managed to stretch myself in the process.  When life gets stressful - and, let's face it, that's like 99.9% of the time - I can get tunnel vision and focus solely on the work that needs to be done instead of the life that needs to be lived.  Considering how crazy this year has been for me, these are some examples of seeing beyond the tunnel!

A few goals under my belt this year:

Girlz Weekend Part 1

Supper Club

Literary Society

Home Improvement - baby steps are still steps!

Vacation

Being active and enjoying where we live

Education-related jobs!  Success!

Hanging with friends!

K-8 friends

Unexpected good times with far-away friends

Regular alcohol good times with close by friends

Girlz Weekend Part Deux

Although there is much room for progress (!) I am happy that I have been able to work toward managing our finances, our home improvement, my diet and exercise, and generally keeping my head on straight and remembering who I am and what I like when life gets blurry around the edges.

The remaining months of the year are full of goals as well, so in many ways the best is yet to come!

How are you doing with goals?
