I've always had a hard time making goals and achieving them. Every time I've set a "New Years Resolution", I haven't put forth the effort to achieve it. Since I always fail; that is, I always fail to try, I've just resigned to not set any goals or resolutions. This year however, I'm compelled to create some goals and achieve them. Ideas began flowing for goals that I could set. As soon as I got home from work, I began writing the list. As I began writing it however, I decided that I didn't want them to be resolutions. So I changed the title of my Word Pad document from 'New Years Resolutions" to, "2014 Bucket List". A list of things that I want to do before January 1st, 2015 at Midnight.
One of the items on my bucket list is to post regularly on this blog. I love writing. I love getting all of my feelings and thoughts out in words. I'm excited to get started!
It's time to get to bed! So here is my 2014 bucket list:
1. Get my Driver's License
2. Lose 30 pounds
3. Blog regularly
4. See a mental health specialist to determine whether or not I have Bipolar disorder
5. Host at least 3 parties
6. Read the entire Bible
7. Go to Yakima to get peaches with Dad
8. Read 20 Books
9. Learn to Sew
10. Buy a Kitchen-aid Mixer
11. Buy a nice camera
12. Write Joel a letter once a week
13. Join the YMCA
14. Get out of debt
15. Find 5 Green Salad Recipes that I like
16. Take a writing or photography class
17. Finish a Painting
18. Cover a different song each week on YouTube
19. Get my hair dyed blond and grow it out
20. Go to a Mariners game
There we go! Those are some of the major things that I want to do this year. I'm excited to get started! So Happy New Year! Post in the comments some of your 2014 goals or resolutions! :D
Over and Out,
Laura Mae
P.S. I also need to figure out how to make this blog fancy! :D
This list sounds very attainable! Though I can see the ones that are more time based becoming a little too constraining (the once a week stuff can be hard... don't beat yourself up if you don't get to it... but if you need an accountability partner or someone to gently remind you of this list and these goals, I could be that person for you, M'Laura! ^_^) but other than that, excellent ideas! :) I like how you said "blog regularly" rather than set a specific number goal or weekly/monthly goal. I'm excited to see you check these things off your list! :)
