I don't make resolutions for the new year. They are easily forgotten and broken. Instead, I will set some little goals.
1. Continue walking at least 20 minutes most days.
2. Eat better.
3. Call my father once a week.
4. Write a little every day, even if it's just a short paragraph (or a blog post).
5. See the chiropractor and try to get my back/shoulders/arm working properly so I can get back to playing my guitar.
6. Read more books. I listened to a lot of books last year, but I need to read more. I'm having some trouble with my eyes, hence the 60+ audiobooks in 2024, but still. I like to read.
7. Spend less time on video games.
8. Curb my tongue and hold my temper around my husband.
9. Get the taxes for 2024 done ASAP and keep up better with the 2025 bookkeeping. I did better in 2024 - I am not that far behind - but if I would do it even more frequently it would help.
10. Remove clutter.
11. Sell a few guitars to free up closet space.
12. Write letters to my aunt and my cousin.
13. Donate to charities.

Thursday Thirteen is played by lots of people; there is a list here if you want to read other Thursday Thirteens and/or play along. I've been playing for a while, and this is my 888th time to do a list of 13 on a Thursday. Or so sayth the Blogger counter, anyway.
Listening to audiobooks counts as reading. Especially if you're having eye trouble.
ReplyDeleteThose are practical goals. I'm sure you'll reach them all! Here's to a New Year!
ReplyDeletePut all the Christmas stuff away. Make some playlists. Learn to gut and clean a fish. Smile more.
ReplyDeleteI hope your shoulder heals and you can get back to playing! I hope this new year is a good one for you in every way!
ReplyDeleteThose are great goals! I have to hold a book!! I've noticed our library carries many fiction and non fictions books in large print for seniors' eyes. I wear glasses and have since age 7 for reading....well....once i hit 45 i needed them for everything! I just cannot STAND listening to a book being read. I can handle listening to good music and podcasts though.
