2012 is here and Im trying to decide what my goals should be for this year. I managed to get some of the things done that I'd planned for last year and I had to leave other things undone. So this isn't going to be a list of New Year's resolutions but a list of the things I want to get done this year, and hopefully, some of my thoughts on why I want to do them.

1. I really must get my children's fantasy trilogy finished because one way or another, I'm going to submit at least the first book to publishers and agents before June. I don't think I have much time left to waste, I am afraid.

2. I want to play at least two Seniors tennis competitions - and hopefully - WIN!!!

3. I want to start selling my pottery professionally at local craft shops and markets.

4. I want to reach my target weight range of 180-185 lbs before I start playing tennis tournaments in April.

5. I have got to learn to keep things simple, not be too ambitious, set fewer but more important targets and focus on achieving them

I admire your dedication and spirit - best of luck with the goals for 2012.

Personally, I gave up making resolutions at the start of the year other than to do the best I can each day. It was always far too easy for me to set unrealistic goals and then beat myself up a bit for not reaching them on a timetable set before Life took over!

Thanks. I know what you mean about too idealistic goals. That's why I set so few - and such fairly humble ones, I think - for myself this year.
