Usually for my annual goal posting, I post the goals from the previous year, marking the ones I achieved in bold, then posting my new goals for the new year. Well, I may have accidentally saved my new goals over the old goals and therefore, cannot paste the old ones. But I can list a few of the major goals that I know were on there that were achieved!
Student Teach
Graduate from College!
Get Pregnant
Get back patio concrete poured
Read at least 5 books not required by school or book club (I think I finished 9)
Teach Wyatt to Read (He's getting better every day!)
Those are just a few of the goals that were knocked off of my goals list. There were 50 total, and 23 of them were achieved! I know some people look at these goal lists as silly, but I believe that looking back at it every once in a while reminds me of what I want to accomplish during the year. Since I have been doing it for about 5 years now, I really notice a difference between the years when I look at it at least once a month, and when I only look a couple times a year. The reminders help! So without further adieu...
