12 Goals for 2012.

January 2, 2012

resolutions

Posted 09/12

1. Write more handwritten letters.
2. Get back into running and nail a 10K.
3. Morning Prayer.
4. Explore a new part of Atlanta.
5. More phone calls to loved ones.
6. Journal about my children.
7. Continue to grow and improve IHOD.
8. Show Gabriel the beach for the first time.
9. Read the top 5 books on my reading list.
10. Dance lessons with Gabe.
11. Visit a new city.
12. Make our house a home, room by room.
I loved Danni’s idea of 12 before 2012, but since I missed the opportunity I decided to make 12 simple goals for 2012. Some are more challenging than others, but each important to me. Hoping by making them realistic I can meet these goals by the end of the year:) I love a fresh start and blank page…

Here are some of the trials and triumphs of 2011 that brought both
tears and suffering, joy and peace:
1. Losing Gabe’s Oma and my Aunt Amy.
2. Giving birth to my first daughter, Veronica Rose.
4. Welcoming two new nieces to the family, and receiving a new nephew on New Years Eve!
5. Running a successful business, and knowing that it was time to close the doors.
6. Celebrating three years of marriage with my spouse.
7. Moving back to Georgia.
8. Getting to teach first graders a few hours a week.
10. The first time my son said, “I love you mom.”
11. Christmas morning with almost my entire family.
Thankful for each one of you that have been a friend along the way! Looking forward to what God will bring in 2012. His plan is the perfect plan. 🙂

    You’ve had a full 2011 and looks like wonderful goals for 2012…wishing you all the best!!

  31. Happy New Year Darling, all the best for 2012!

  32. Debby says:

    Love your list of goals for 2012. You have so many firsts with your kids ahead of you… it’s all so exciting. Dance lessons would be so much fun and a wee bit of a break from parenting. Good for you to know it was time to close the doors on the business and having the courage to do so. You have your priorities straight. Sorry for your losses in 2011 but it sounds like you had some wonderful additions to the family. xo

  33. sherri lynn says:

    These are great goals Anna! I hope you can post about them as you accomplish them 🙂

  34. Aww, I love this post! I hope the new year treats you well!

  35. Merry Christmas/Happy Everything to you. I really enjoy your beautiful posts. I appreciate your positive and joyful heart 🙂
