I wrote about what I recalled instead of looking back. I felt strongly that God wants me to let Him set my goals this year. And just to back up that idea, I was sidelined for the past month with Sciatica which is another form of Hades let me tell you, lol. I feel a bit like I'm in a free fall with no goals in front of me but I do monthly goals, just don't have big annual ones.<br /><br />One thing: I just read this tip in a vintage magazine. The mother wanted the family to read aloud together but time was always a factor. She had the children take turns with her to do the dishes after supper(your two older perhaps could do that and the family gathered in the kitchen while she or the oldest child read aloud. Is that something that might work for you?terricheneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06865436021565986224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-64197762830556037742014-01-17T09:43:00.389-05:002014-01-17T09:43:00.389-05:00There were a lot of accomplishments in the mix, yo...There were a lot of accomplishments in the mix, you should be very proud of yourself- as for the saving- Unexpected Things will happen it's called life- but the Lord provided for those needs and that is a blessing. Time and time again I say God gives me just enough- not always extra but usually enough for the necessity. I think you did an amazing job for the year :)Full of Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02731302203793957663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-39873618438323209492014-01-16T03:21:15.864-05:002014-01-16T03:21:15.864-05:00I haven't thought of specific goals for the ne... I haven't thought of specific goals for the new year in years... but i think i might for this year. However, these are things we like to accomplish, what is way more important is what God wants to accomplish in us... i wonder how'd i do in His book last year...? and you know what, having goals (like your financial ones) somewhat in the ridiculous high realm, might actually be good to keep us striving for more. If we keep the goal in the nicely reachable level we might just lean back and go nowhere. It's like facing holiness, we can't reach it in this life yet, and we could lean back and say, well i never gonna reach it, so i won't try. Or, we take the challenge and see how close we can get. I rather live a life trying to reach the unreachable than just leaning back in the comfort zone. One of the reasons i love your blog, because you keep striving for the better and that's inspiring.lydia.purplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09231450877837441718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-87419114948365675202014-01-15T19:14:14.547-05:002014-01-15T19:14:14.547-05:00I do look back and blog about them too.

I met about half of them - exceeded a couple and totally failed several. <br /><br />I haven't written out my goals for this year yet... maybe I should because I do like going back at the end of the year to see what I was able to do.<br /><br />You are brave for posting them!Jill Foleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15919221814694982320noreply@blogger.com
