Quote of the Week – January 12, 2024

Eternally woman spills herself away in driblets to the thirsty, seldom being allowed the time, the quiet, the peace to let the pitcher fill up to the brim.

Goals for 2024

It’s that time of year again. The one where I set goals and stride enthusiastically towards the future. And when I remember I share the journey and the results. Let’s set some for this year and see if I can get out of the slump of the last year. I wouldn’t have gotten anything posted if not for the assistance of my assistant.

I think that’s a good start:

Goal 1: better utilize the talents of my assistant. Right now I only have her doing social media posting and appointments. I am positive that there are more things and things with more bang for both of us lurking in my to do list.

Goal 2: Up the resale game. I am listing on eBay, Bonanza, and Destashify. I also have a booth at an antique mall that sometimes pays out more than the rent. I need to get more on the ball. Not just to get myself into the red. I need to work on downsizing what’s stacking up into dangerous piles in the house. My mother and father will both be happier if I do.

Goal 3: Post more content on this blog that doesn’t just grab another creator’s work and highlight it. That means flash fiction, extemporaneous essays, and random musings that show up as I am commuting to the shop and back. A little rambling is good for the soul.

Goal 4: Read 60 books

Goal 5: Finish my business degree. This should probably be number one, but we’ll see what we can see.

Goal 6: Get my A1C under 8. The nurse wants me to commit to exercise, but I was honest with her and told her that it wasn’t a priority for me. If I can simply make eating changes, and keep losing weight, that’s my focus.

Goal 7: Keep regular track of the habits and steps that will get me to my goals.

Well lucky #7 and that’s the list for this year. We will see what I can be up doing with it.

Happy New Year, y’all.
