Progress update:
I discovered that I really don't like working on the Christmas quilt and never really did so I am going to find a goal that I have passion a for and am passionate about. Next I curled up with a good detective mystery type novel my favorite kind then went to bed early and finally got a restful night sleep so I am beginning to feel rested and alive again. Oh and on another positive note I almost forgot to mention I have stood by the boundaries that I set with others on their use of my time and space and am feeling a sigh of relief and like I can breath again.
So all in all I am feeling good with my decisions and smart goals so far and realize that sometimes the best plan of action is a change of plans. Change can be a very positive and good thing. It's Ok to change your mind or your direction. It does not mean your have been defeated at all. It just means you have had a change of plans and are now moving in a positive direction again..

Hi Ashley,
Interesting Questions. Your always making me think:). Well I looked up Smart Goals again and decided to be more specific with my goals So here it goes. I want to finish my Christmas quilt by the first day of spring. So First off In Order to do this I will need to make sure I get enough restful sleep every night so I with get to bed by 9 pm. I plan on spending at least one hour on my hobbies every day. Next I decided I needed to make my hobby room more functional so yesterday I spend the day doing just that plus I cleaned the carpet in the room so now the room is good to go. Now finally and last but not least and the most important thing that I need to do is stick to the boundaries that I have set with others on their use of my time.
Now how's that for a Start..

General goals are a great start but we tend to be more successful in our goals when they are specific. When you feel ready to tackle all the items on our list I would love to hear how you made some of them a bit more specific.
I have some cedar boards to make into flower boxes. This I have to do before spring because I will be too busy otherwise. I want more flower beds and less garden. I need a spare bed too. We gave away the spare because Karin wanted hers. Now she is gone there is no bed for guests. There are lots of projects but most are lost just not off my mental list. If I have the energy I'll work on them.
I saw the neighbour walking down the road with his dogs and wished I could still do that.
Making a list of the positive things we want to accomplish in the coming year.
1. Finish my Christmas quilt from 2 years ago.
2. Think about starting a new project this year.
3. Spent some time doing something I enjoy everyday.
4. Getting out and walking more this year..
These are some of mine.
Please share some of yours.
