These months are busy months for me because of the decorating I do for the Holidays that occur during this time so if I can accomplish just these Goals, I will be a happy camper...
Christie, over at So What? Now What?, decided to call her Bucket List a Possibilities List and I loved that terminology so I am also going with a Possibilities List!!
Possibilities
I have posted this quote before....
This in itself is a great Possibilities List
But I am focusing on the last statement...
I HOPE to buy LESS...
Can't guarantee Buying Nothing
And with that being said, I HOPE to Make Something
Meaning that I want to craft something that I may have seen in the stores, using up some of my vast craft supplies...
I also HOPE to Shop my own home
I have been watching some You Tube Videos where decorators are doing this and using everyday items to decorate with..
More Possibilities....
Spend LESS time on Face book
Spend MORE time reading Blog posts
Respond to Blog comments quicker
Watch MORE You Tube decorating Videos
Listen to some Podcasts
Find time to read
Reconnect with a few old friends and meet for lunch or invite over
Be in contact more, whether through messages, texts, phone calls or visits with more family members....
And I will end with that for this quarterly post....
Only Time will tell how I will do with all of this.....
And maybe, just maybe, I may add a few more Goals if I am really good at getting the ones listed accomplished..
But I do plan to....
And I HOPE to continue....
And....
In my next post on SATURDAY, I will be sharing how I rearranged my Gallery Wall of Family pictures....
Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!
If you do not have a blog, PLEASE give me some way to reply to your comment, maybe by including your email in your comment. If I can not find a way to reach you, I will reply on the post where you commented so please check back......

Those are some great goals!! I think I am hopeless - I read your January list thinking it was for three months and knew I could never complete the list. Then I saw it was monthly, lol. I know you can do it, though.
ReplyDeleteGoals make much more sense to me than resolutions. You have some ambitious ones but I find if I don't have some goal, nothing gets done. (Well, lots gets done, just nothing toward a goal!)
ReplyDeleteI love that you are so intentional with setting your goals. That's amazing. I was just reading your post about Joe's last 5 weeks. I am so sorry to hear this! Thank you for sharing it on your blog with us. It's very meaningful.
ReplyDeleteI’m all about lists! I love this post, because I haven’t set down and made any goals for 2025, but I’ve made several lists. I’m going to take your lead on this and expand them. I like how you have them planned for the year! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSusan,
DeleteThanks so much for visiting and for letting me know that you did!! I am big To Do List maker and I really like the idea of doing monthly lists....Happy New Year to you and your family!!
Hugs,

Great goals! Was smiling because I made a similar list...want to clean out and organize drawers and cabinets and get rid f things I no longer use. I like your idea of a list for each month...my list looks too long - going to have to break it down like you! Wishing you health and happiness in the New Year !
ReplyDeleteHi Deb...my a lot of goals. You are a determined and focused lady so you can do it. My goals are to continue my weight loss successfully and continue to take care of Carl.with his ongoing health issues. Sometimes that's a full time job! Oh and do a major clean out of our walk in closet and donate unneeded items
ReplyDeleteHugs..Barb
Barb,
DeleteI have to get back on track too with my weight loss program...Being a care giver is a full time job so I hope you also take care of yourself too!! Thanks for visiting again!!
Hugs,
Deb
You've got some great goals and possibilities here, Debbie. And thanks for the shout out and for linking up with the Quarterly Bucket List team. I hope winter is good to you.
ReplyDeleteHigh five, girl, on your ambitious list. Thank you for sharing your post with us and inspiring all of us with your proposed activities. Get that new crockpot out!! I am wanting to do a soup recipe link up in February. Maybe you could join me?? Nothing better in my book than using my crockpot for a pot of soup.
ReplyDeleteOh, tax prep. YUCK! Last year, PC took over the taxes and he did it without having what my mother would call a hissy fit. Ha!! So he can just do it again this year!!
I hope to blog more regularly and read blogs more faithfully this year, too. Have gotten off my water drinking some this winter but need to make that happen, too. And have to do something with my closet!!
Thanks for the mention and for joining us!!
Thanks for mentioning each of us! I really think that writing my goals helps me stay on track and it makes me feel accomplished when I can cross something off my list! I didn't add the tax thing to my list but I would love to get them done early this year and the other thing that I didn't realize is that we have 2 passports to renew. Those are kind of two biggies but neither should take a ton of time. I need to use my instant pot which is also a crockpot more. Definitely need to make more soups!

You have so many goals and aspirations listed here and I do wish you the best on all of them!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list of goals! They all look doable to me. I haven't set too many yet this year but I'll get there.
