Confession: I haven't made my resolutions yet. True, I've been mulling them over. Quite a lot. They are swirling around in my head, but I've yet to put pen to paper. It is a big case of procrastination. I've been telling myself that I keep putting it off because I'm really taking it seriously this year. And that I just want to be completely sure I've settled on the right things. Well, no more excuses: I'm writing things down this weekend. I'm taking all the virtual goals and would-be-plans, and I'm making it official to myself. I had a sort-of-mini-epiphany this week while reading Steady Days (completely awesome book, by the way) that I'm not really leading my days the way I want to. I've been waiting until I've got my priorities in line. No more waiting. I need to make time to make a plan for my desired goals. Remember this bold statement? Yah, me too. Doin' something about it. I'm making time (even though there seems to not be any to spare), and taking some advice from It's Never too Late...
to make plans
Looking ahead takes you out of the daily grind.
Planning ahead brings hope.
Small plans first, with realistic goals.
Build confidence.
Then make bigger plans with bigger goals.
Always have plans.
If you've been procrastinating right along with me, it not too late. It's never too late, really. Today is just as good of a day as any other to set goals, make plans and get started. Who's with me?

Ooh I'm definitely in, I've been meaning to firm up and post about my goals for the year. Like you say, today is the day - despite it being over halfway through Feb :)
I'm going to make this my task to do once I get home from work...
I like it!
Do you have a format or a list or template on how you are going to write them down and organize them? Want to share it with us? Where are you going to put the list? Somewhere that you see it everyday? I need some guidance for goals. :-)
I love this quote... "she turned her dreams into plans" it is my overall THEME for this year! We are on the same wavelength. I just bought the She book from Amazon (where this photo is from) - it's super cute. I want to cut out all the pages and frame them!
Good for you for taking some time this weekend to feed your soul and your dreams! Have fun!
I'm definitely with you, deary! What a great kick in the pants--just what I needed, by the way!
Ha, ha! This sounds like me, too. You are inspiring me to write them down too...but don't hold me to it;)
