    I don't have five goals per se but my big goal this year is DISCIPLINE. I need more of it in my life...eating, exercising, Bible study...all of the above and more.

    Same as last year. I put them on my laptop's background and read them most days. That really helped me remember them.
    Read my Bible everyday
    Exercise everyday
    Be Kind everyday
    Eat only healthy foods
    Tell my family I love them

    Hmmmm 5 goals for the year!
    1 - turn 50 disgracefully and have a banging hippy party
    2 - read more books than last year (read 276 in 2016)
    3 - Raise more money than I did last year for my OneDay to Conquer Cancer 25 km walk in August
    4 - Exercise more than last year so I can drop another dress size and then maybe I will deserve to embrace my 2017 mantra "FIT, FAB and 50"
    5 - Scrap more/laugh more/love more ..... do MORE

    Love a clean slate:
    1) pay off my stubborn Amazon card. Haven't used it in a year and that monthly interest rate is killing me.
    2) Take time to be empathetic about my response to people
    3) Move at least 5 times a week. Recovering from more than a year of injuries and an arthritic back has really let me settle into a bad habit of sitting
    4) Finish my 1.5 year old's baby book. Only 8 more pages left!
    5) Set aside time for my dogs. I haven't paid them quality attention since my daughter was born, and it's not really fair. They don't have unlimited time and I am their family.

    I chose two words for this year: *Mindful and *WHY, which are things I really need to work on. Being in the here and now, not overwhelming myself with the things I want/need to do 24/7 and starting some little time for meditations.
    I also need to SERIOUSLY work on my *Health and becoming active again (I used to be a she-man LOL and did all kinds of things, now not so much- more like HA!)
    *Organization- my office is like walking into chaos, which affects my creativity. And I miss paper scrapping and using my hands for hybrid and crafty things.
    And lastly- *Financial...I've been off of work for over 2 years due to my health, and my loss of income and personal 'independence' has taken it's toll on me and my life.
