Well, I’m a week and a half into my 22nd year and the future is looking bright. I thought would create some goals to keep me focused throughout the year. The other day, someone told me about the idea of looking at the future as “a fog of peace”. In addition to being really pretty imagery, that idea resonated with my soul. It is good to have plans and things to look forward to, but who really knows what is going to happen throughout each day?
In making this list, I tried to think of goals that weren’t time sensitive. It can be a real bummer to say, “I’m gonna bake twenty pies by February” and then fail. I would like to choose goals that can be continuous hobbies throughout the year, rather than ones based on success or failure.
Some notes:
1. I’m really excited about this one! I never cook or bake. It’s not my thing. But I want to be healthier and learn more about nutrition. So, maybe it will become something that I like to do.
2. December 27th!
6, 12. There is a corner of our house that is looking a little lonely. I would love to find a wooden corner desk and turn it into an organized crafty area. My poor roommates deserve it. They have to deal with my crafty messes more than they should.
15. With embroidery floss, obviously.
16. Lately, I have been savoring daylight. The sun goes down way too early!
18. Our fire pit is looking a little lonely…
21. This one makes me sound like a child. Whatevs. :)
So, there ya go. Do you have any “__ before __” goal lists? Post links so I can check them out!

Nice goals! I don’t have any lists currently but I want to make one. Cooking and baking would definitely be on my list too!

this is such a good idea! i will definitely be thinking of what my goals will be for the coming new year. i like that you have them set up as not a pass/fail basis- it’s hard to complete those kinds sometimes!
