Mini Reverb #11 Resolutions

I made so many resolutions last year. 
Judging by what I've crossed off the list at this stage I'd say I didn't 
fair too well on holding up some of my resolutions.

I haven't really began formulating next year's list yet.
I want it to be specific and detail oriented
but I really haven't fine tuned it much.
I do know it's of course going to include a baby
and getting into a good nursing program,
but in terms of health goals, and weight, and church
I still haven't made any definite goals.

I know as I've grown I definitely make more realistic goals.
I think the problem I have with resolutions is that 
throughout the year, new goals emerge.
I mean life isn't static, it's always changing.
Goals that I had at the beginning of the year change or
disappear or new ones emerge.

I'm not quite sure I'll be making any sort of definitive
 resolutions New Year's Eve.
Hey I'm already breaking other traditions,
cause I won't be wearing bright yellow underwear, while
eating grapes and an orange from one hand,
with a packed suitcase in the other hand while
I jump from perching on top of a chair.
If you know what I mean. 



What are your resolutions for 2012?
How did you do in accomplishing your resolutions from 2011?

Wow, looking at your list from last year, I'd say you did an AMAZING job crossing off some of the biggest and most important ones! I mean, seriously, some people have one tiny resolution and can't stick to it past Janaury, haha. And look at everything you were able to accomplish! You go girl! I think you should definitely take a second and give yourself some credit for tha amazing things you did accomplish in 2011.

i think you did well ... hmm, this gives me an idea to go back and see what i wanted to do and see how i did!

most of my resolutions i am sure will stay the same ... and i'll probably add some new things.

ahh, the excitement of a new year ... i just love it.

I completely agree with Sarra, Jan! I, myself, haven't made a New Year's resolution since my teens! Like you, I long discovered that the best I could do was formulate realistic goals while remaining open and flexible to unforeseen and inevitable changes. The process for me is simply ongoing and instinctive, tempered with a reasonable amount of foresight and forethought. The only "real" resolution I make every year is to learn from the experiences of the past year and resolve to be and do better in the new one.

Thanks ladies!! Though I seemingly accomplished a lot, a few of the important things I wanted to do with regards to my own company and stuff I didn't get accomplished but you are right I should be proud of the things I was able to accomplish. Something is better than nothing anyday.

I feel that same as you for last year. I am working on a plan for success in 2012. I am going to make sure I accomplish alot. I feel like I am behind. My suggestion to u is to ask God what he wants you tp do. That helps me out so much. That will make your plan so much easier.
