Resolutions

So I don't like to make my New Year's resolutions at New Year. I don't really like to follow the crowd and do what is deemed 'popular'.  But I like goals.


I generally make a list of goals that I want to work on or accomplish over the year starting on my Birthday (birthdays kind of symbolize a time to better yourself in my opinion). My birthday is in September, which begs the question: "Why bring this up now?"

I keep my goals written on a small post it note that I use for a bookmark in the only book (besides scriptures) that I kept out of storage-Harry Potter. This way I can see what those goals are as often as I pick up my book (approximately once a day). I bring this up now because I've completed 6 out of 8! I believe this current success is due to the fact that I've found a way to physically see my written goals almost daily. I think about them. I make plans to complete them. I make mini goals to accomplish the actual resolution.

So if you're looking for a way to get something done, write it down and than make yourself aware of it often.

Now for those last 2 goals: Actually using my canner, and living off food storage for a select amount of time that is yet to be determined...
