What would you like to achieve in the new year?

[Lionheart]

My goals are to stop smoking and to get my anxiety under better control. To rise to the challenges that my chronic illnesses present me with and to better my health.

If you like cheesecake, this here's my favourite recipe:

Aww, damned awesome and thank you Bellbird :inlove:
Not even sure if I like cheesecake, yet (not enough tries), but adore a chance to try something new out, and grateful for the shared recipes. :)

Get out of debt and build 6 months savings.
Lose 15kg and improve my physical health.
Rebuild my social life.
Try at least 1 new thing(even if it's super-small) every month.
Organize and declutter all my documents, papers and such.

I know, that's a lot:). Funny, I am seeing it as a lot now writing it for others, but when I was writing it for myself, I had huge amount of goals(think 5 goals for 6 categories of my life- so 30 goals for the year, all as big as those I just listed). And I still felt like I needed to do more. Needless to say I didn't reach most of it. I will try to reasses and edit my goals in the next few days.

write the first draft of my book, begin a new collection of poems, value my creativity, begin a healthy romantic relationship or dating
create a warm, welcoming, harmonious home, get the first certificate, travel (working abroad) spend in at least a six months of the year in total in natural surrounding with sunlight/heat, training a new martial art, get funding to develop my artistic practice, have a family of friends and regular gatherings of them, good, steady balanced spiritual, emotional, mental, physical health

Maintain my newfound stability so I can go back to school in 2020.

A new roof on the house. At least get the numbers part done, so I know if it will be doable this year.

Would love to get the floors done in the living room and the mud room, as well as a fresh coat of paint.

And maybe this will be the year I hang up a picture/photo in one of the rooms. I think I'm slowly getting ready to try and settle down in my home.
To add value to it and trust that it will not become tainted.... (that went deeper than I expected)

As for therapy I would like to keep trying.

 

[The Albatross]

Hold the line until a new and better employment opportunity appears, transition my mom back to home with agency, complete the reno needed to expedite this and to have some peace and calm about it all.

 

[NatBird]

being employed full time across being an artist and body worker/therapist

 

[ladee]

To create some dreams. To do more than exist from day to day. To let my adventurous soul out to create possibilities of a happier and more full life.

My/our goal is to get J's disability and pension going. I just want him financially stable by this time next year. Continue working on the interior of the house during the winter then work on the outside in the spring and summer. Keep my weight down and grow about six inches taller. ?
