My Creatively Random Life

This year I basically failed my resolutions due to some crazy stuff going on in life that led to ignoring everything and stress eating for months.  2016 is going to be a better year, I can taste it.  This year I am going to set some realistic goals to get life back on track. 1) Keep a planner going with not just appointments but also health related things so that everything is in one place. 2) Go to the gym at least three times a week. 3) Set time aside every week to respond to my pen pals. 4) Be more creative. 5) Do more hiking. 6) Aim for at least three blog posts a week. 7) Comment more on other people's blogs. 8) Get my Inbox to Zero and keep it there at least weekly. 9) Finish 5k run training. 10) Do a 5k run. What are your goals for this year?

The Express Yourself Weekly Meme is hosted  Bouquet Of Books  and  Entertaining Interests .  This week's topic is: do you have a New Year's Resolution, if so, would you like to share? Usually at the beginning of the year I do a whole post about this stuff but I haven't had the time yet because the kids got sick one after the other.  (yikes!)  So everything has been topsy-turvy.  I do have more of a system of small changes/goals going this year then resolutions though. I am keeping it very small as I have been having some health issues and I am worried that trying to make drastic changes will just leave me frustrated. So my "resolutions" are: -drink more water -log ALL the books I read -declutter a little every day -keep on top of my letter writing -try new things I think 2015 is going to be a fantastic year.  What are your resolutions for this year?

So my whole plan of having goals  instead of resolutions...big flop.  I achieved  maybe three of them.  Okay, that's not really a very good count so let's have a tally, out of twelve goals that I had at the beginning of 2013 here at the beginning of 2014 I achieved six.  Hey, that's actually not that bad. In review for you here are the ones I did achieve: 1) Finish the Doctor Who scarf - I did and it is well loved by it's new owner, maybe I shall make myself one one day. 5) Start working on my novel - I did and I started working on one I like more and got further on during NaNoWrMo. 6) Work on my self esteem - I took up Cosplaying 9) Spending more time playing with my kids - in so many ways 10) Wear my fancy shoes more - check 12) Work on being happy - see above The things I want to work on in 2014 are still thing things I didn't quite achieve in 2013 only with a little more focus on the less is more side of life.  The older I get the more I...
