Project 52 Kickoff!

Happy New Year! I hope 2011 will be full of good things for you! (2010 ended with a surprise surgery for Hubby, but more on that later!)

I have said many times, that I am not very goal-oriented. Besides lacking follow-through, most of the time I just can't remember if I made any goals! I  made a list of goals for last year, and although they were not very lofty, (in fact, I only made a list of things I thought I would actually do) I did feel as though I actually accomplished something when I was able to cross something off my list. In fact, it made me feel very good.

This year, I'm participating in Project 52, along with Jennee and Karen. On Mondays, I'll let you know how I am doing. I have made a list of 52 things I want to accomplish this year. A lot of my "projects" are dealing with organization, so, I hope that by the end of the year, I can declare myself "more organized"!

I'm looking forward to Project 52, and seeing how many items I can cross off my list. 

If you are resisting setting goals, or making resolutions, why not join us, and give it a try this year? You might be surprised at what you can accomplish!
