I gave up making resolutions years ago, but usually set goals for the new year. Fiona, your reminder to pray first and to say 'Thank You" for goals reached is excellent.Donna Fletcher Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986333915483142722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-80442268702931532162012-01-06T08:34:40.899-08:002012-01-06T08:34:40.899-08:00I, too, prefer goals to resolutions.

I have my 2011 recap on Friday, Dec 30, post, and my 2012 goals on today's.<br /><br />"They" say that if you don't know what you're aiming for, how will you know if you hit it?Valerie Comerhttp://valeriecomer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-86374221902144211012012-01-06T01:48:02.808-08:002012-01-06T01:48:02.808-08:00Hi LeAnne.

Was this a realistic goal in the time frame? If not, I'll just carry it over. I've had some goals (such as finishing a novel I'm working on) being carried over for three years! But at least it's still moving forward. I've set it again for this year - hoping to break the back of it in the summer - but I've just been offered another ghostwriting contract so the novel may have to go on the back burner yet again! I think though that goal setting is not really about making sure things get done but rather making sure we take time out to evaluate our lives in light of God's goals for us. Sometimes when I haven't achieved a goal it's really because it wasn't God's will for my life at that time. Anyway, God bless you in your goal setting!Fiona Veitch Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09149126168135123118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-52108125855540966192012-01-05T14:09:33.609-08:002012-01-05T14:09:33.609-08:00Thanks, Fiona.

I need to set some, but life always seems to upset my planned deadlines.LeAnne Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11433010038077925237noreply@blogger.com
