i think when you are struggling it is good to make goals for yourself. it helps you to push along and start something new and gives you confidence. so today is a good day to write out my goals for 2010:
1. my biggest goal for the year is... the second i wake up, get out of bed and immediately get ready for the day. as someone who is prone to anxiety and depression, this is a huge one. it helps to start my day and get me going.

2. chris and i have set an amount of money we would like to save every year. so our goal is to do that and start building our savings account. I think nothing is more important than savings.
-3. when chris is home, try not to spend as much time on the internet.
-4. get back to only eating out once a week. not only do you save lots of money (goal no. 2), but it also helps get rid of the jiggles in the booty area.
-5. watch less TV and do more stuff outdoors (the weather will help this out a lot) and get to know our new home.
-6. hang up my clothes the second i take them off. why this one is so hard for me i will never know. pretty sure chris will appreciate this one too.
-7. print more of our pictures and frame them. sad to say we only have one, yes one, of us printed. craziness!
-
8. watch more episodes of 'the office'. enough said. (please ignore number 5)
-
9. be better at texting back, calling back, commenting back, emailing back, and stop using the ignore button so much on my phone. this is a serious serious struggle of mine, and one I'm going to work really hard on. (i apologize to those who have fallen victim to one of these)
-10. write one of my blessings down each day in my journal....oh and journal more.
There you have it... 10 goals for the year 2010. and ones that i think i can actually do!!!
giddy up!

So you don't know me, but I've had your blog in my reader for a while. I can't even remember how I was referred to your blog. But it's adorable and so are you.
Now that I've introduced myself (kind of), I think I need to set those same exact goals. I get anxious when my phone rings and often don't answer it. I also struggle putting my clothes away and keeping them off the floor. So, we're basically goal twins.
Great list! I misread number 3 at first, and did not see the word "not" I was thinking, what in the world?? But what you said is a good one :)
I should do number six also...the top of my dresser and husband would thank me.
You have inspired me to actually write down some goals for myself. I have them in my head but need to put them on paper. One of which is write down a blessing everyday. (Thanks for the idea!! Such a good one!)
PS Your first goal is something my Mom did EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! She was so good at it, and that is a great goal!
wonderful goals- i can relate to so many! xo
I LOVE this list of yours...such a good one...and really thought out..
and I totally agree with you on the Office thing...completely necessary!!!
Happy New Year! and good luck with all your goals!
I just chanced upon your blog and am so happy I did! what a happy life :) love it! Thanks for sharing
Wow! Those are awesome goals and I am going to borrow..um, all of them. Thanks, sister!
i echo all of the above!
your goals mirror mine.
getting ready every day: it was so silly to my husband, but it makes such a difference for me. you know what helps me, is picking out my outfit the night before. its kind of fun, too.
we only have two pictures of us in our house, and one of them is just our shoes.
writing blessings down is such a great idea.
these are 10 great things! I'm so bad waking up in the morning. I always wait until the last possible second! Eating out is another problem!
That sounds so very much like my own list! Good luck!!!
Wow I have basically all the same! lol this year will be a good one!
Good luck! The only eating out once a week goal will be the hardest, with all the new restaurants you'll be around! Maybe you'd better set that as a by-late-June kind of goal :)
Those are great goals - esp writing down your blessings. I need to do that more.
Happy moving!
I love 'em all!
I identify with every single one of your goals, very similar to my own for this year!!
write your blessings! It's the best thing I have ever done :)
great goals! i need to do this too. write down goals , not really resolutions
Inspiring! Gonna go make my list now!
1, 3, 6, and 7 are some of mine, too.
hope it's going well for you! :)
