Cough. Cough. It's already that time again. I'm already embarrassed...cough. Cough. As I clear my throat and fess up to once again with what goals I fell short. Last year, my monthly idea sounded great but by the end I just simply started playing by ear. Not a wise decision on my part. Uh-uhm, I also made this huge spill on focusing on accomplishments. Here's to a slap in the face:
"We review the past only to see where we have made mistakes and where we might improve. When we become satisfied with what we have accomplished, we begin to deteriorate. We either progress or retrogress. Let us not make the same mistake as the bricklayer, who from a high scaffold stepped back to admire his work." -- N. Eldon Tanner, 1979
This was given in a talk two Sundays ago and this quote hasn't left my mind. Boy, do I feel like an idiot. I believe it was also mentioned in the talk that those who set goals and work to keep them become better people by showing focus and discipline. Yeah, well I already knew I lacked in both. So maybe this year my goal should be simply to keep a goal!
Overall, I can look back though and say I have actually had a wonderful year. It also was a year of emotions and tragedy but yet a year of strength. I am happy to say that I wanted to do projects around the home and make a few things and I was able to be successful in those areas. I think being able to look back and see my success and hope to continue it into this year and the mistakes...well, there are a lot of ways to improve there.
I look forward to this year's adventures.

I made a goal to complete at least one goal. Sad I know.
