My 2014 Goals: Year-End Update

Source

Here’s a final post looking back at 2014 before I move full-speed ahead into the new year!

I’m fairly pleased with how I did with my goals overall.  However, I seemed to struggle with the same ones month after month.  Below, I simply crossed out those goals that I was fairly consistent with throughout the year and gave a brief update on how I did with the others.  I definitely lost sight of some of these goals during the last couple of months of 2014.

Spiritual
1.  Review two memory verse passages each month.  I did well with this until the summer; even when school resumed, I didn’t regain my momentum.
2.  Send a note or e-mail of encouragement to someone every week.
3.  Continue writing my “list of gifts” each morning.
4.  Keep a prayer journal. 
5.  Start each morning listening to good music.  I can’t stay I was consistent with this all year.  While I still want to make this a priority in our home, it will not likely be on my 2015 goal list.

Personal
1.  Read through my 2014 reading list.  I read 47 of the 50 books.
2.  Take a cooking class.
3.  Devote 30 minutes a week to writing projects.  Let’s just say it was rare that this happened.

Family
1.  Continue monthly date nights for all.  We were hit-and-miss with this.  However, my husband and I are going to be more intentional about our date nights in the coming year.
2.  Do one specific thing to encourage my husband each week.  I missed this pretty regularly in November and December. 
3.  Plan one special homeschool day each month.

I’m excited about setting new goals for 2015 and look forward to sharing them here next week!
