But, I do make goals and project lists. This year my goal is to work on my health and lose some weight (well, more than some hopefully). I will exercise more regularly and continue to change eating habits to more healthy whole foods. I do have specific goals and tasks toward those big ideas, so they aren't just ideas. But I don't feel like getting into those specifics right now.
Then I have my project list. There are always things to be done. And I love lists. So, I made a list of the projects I want to do during the year. Some are time specific, others aren't. I have even categorized them for convenience. I'm sharing the list here to help keep me accountable. Hopefully I will take photos and remember to post on this blog about the projects as they get done.
