Plans for 2020

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I love this time of year. Making new plans and goals, filling out a new planner. It all makes my heart sing.

2019 was a pretty good year. I accomplished several of my goals, decided some of them just wasn't for me and flat out failed at a couple. But it's all ok. I learned from my experiences and I'm moving forward a better, stronger person than I was a year ago.

You all know I set many, many goals each year. In 2019 I had 22 goals and I completed 16 of them. That's 72%. Not bad, but I think I could have done better.

And I've done it again this year. Twenty nine to be exact! Some are one and done type things while others will take all year to get done.

Let's break them down, shall we? Some are carried forward from last year. But they are still things I want to do.
