enjoyed the decorating, cooking and the time spent with my family. But now..........the decorations have been put away
for the year [but ... Christmas 2016 will be here before you know it. ha].It's time to make some goals..
Goals for 2016
1- Make my monthly budget and remember to follow it as closely as possible.
2-Organizing [I have my house up for sale, and are redoing an older house ,we will be moving in to- So... I am on a standstill
with this goal.. as, I will have to get moved first] I am making plans for the other house .
3- Remember to do my monthly meal plans as this really helps with grocery budget. "Try" to eat and feed my family healthier meals.
4- Remember to take the extra time to spend with my husband, children and grandchildren.. Time is going so fast, every minute with our family is so important.. I have to remind myself.... its ok, to leave the house or yard work for a time.. It will be there, once you spend that hour or two with the ones you love.
5- My sewing goal this year is to ............. sew some things for me, and to sew some things for the house.. [curtains, cushions,etc]
6- Garden..... enjoy the spring.. and enjoy our garden and be thankful , that we have the place and the heath to have it.
7- Thank God for our health and remember to always pray for the ones in need.
Hope you all have a wonderful and blessed year.
Lovely list of goals Judy! Especially about enjoying family.
ReplyDeleteGrocery shopping is totally NOT my favorite chore however I find it really helpful for the budget to go weekly. And I spend my set budget every week. And plan meals around what is available.
Thank you Nakisha.. I too, dislike grocery shopping.But, one of the chores that HAS TO BE done.. lol
DeleteHave a great day
I love your goals especially the family one- work will always be there and they need our attention now! Have a blessed week Judy!

DeleteSo easy to write goals...........doing them..........something else.ha
Hope you have a blessed week too.
Wonderful list. I hope you have a great year!

DeleteI do hope you finally move this year - it has taken so long, and it must interfere somewhat - it's nice to be settled. Good luck with budgeting, family time, garden time and time for Judy - a very well balanced goal sheet with all your values clearly defined.
ReplyDeleteSarahliz, it has taken SO long..[really tired of it]. We are doing the work ourselves now. and that is really slow for"old folks".lol
DeleteHope I can work hard on my goals.
It sounds like you have your priorities right Judy. xo
ReplyDeleteThank you Maryanne..
DeleteNow...hopefully---I can do some of the goals..smile
Your goals are heartfelt goals and love each one of them. Spending time with the family is truly valuable. Kind of funny I just heard on the radio while I was rushing around this "be less perfect and more present" the jest was its ok not to have the house perfect, but its more precious to be present for our family and friends" . Yours are pretty close to mine, and I am
ReplyDeleteadding a little more "me time" too, because I'm a "people
pleaser"

DeleteI agree! Monthly grocery planning is a lifesaver! That's one of my goals as well.
ReplyDeleteGrocery planning is the biggie for sure.. How are you doing Stacie? How is that sweet baby doing?
DeleteI'm doing well. Back to work and just started a quilt, so hopefully I'll be back blogging soon. The baby is doing very well. I don't know much about babies, but she seems like a good one.
DeleteStacie , so happy you and baby are doing well, and you have a good baby..
DeleteSo hard to return to work , after being off with them.
Judy your plans for 2016 sound solid and focused. We're almost two months into 2016 and I have yet to figure out a plan...
