It is quickly approaching the end of 2012 and time for reflecting on the past year. So much has happened and sadly, I did not reach all of my goals that I had planned for this year. However, there are some things that I did accomplish, so here is my annual list. LOL.
1. Read the Bible more. I did not read through the whole Bible this year but I have definitely increased. I have a daily devotional book that has a "read the Bible in a year" system that I want to try to use this year.
2. Get organized. I still have a ways to go but I have definitely cut down on the clutter and got my house and classroom more organized. It makes me smile to wake up to a clean house, clean laundry, a clean car, and a clean classroom. I have embraced the idea of "putting the house to bed" each night as well as putting my "classroom to sleep" before I leave work each day. It makes mornings go so much better.
3. Reach out to people more. This has been a difficult one for me but I have made progress. Situations have caused opportunities for me to be more of a help to others and I may not have jumped in every time but I did jump in some. That is an improvement for me.
My goals for this year:
1. Read the Bible all the way through.
2. Take care of myself. I wound up in the hospital with pneumonia because I did not take care of myself as well as some other health issues I am having.
3. Live simply.
4. Continue to help others in need.
5. Get even more organized and cut down on the materialism. Pretty things are nice but I do not need a houseful of stuff to be happy!
What are your goals for this year?
Peace,
Southern Ladye
