#Goals Revisited

I've been meaning to write this for at least a week now. For some reason, my brain just wouldn't focus on the task. Maybe I had too much going on, but now I am sick in bed and have nothing going on. ​

With the start of every new year, I come up with my goals for the next 365 days. I only had three goals for 2015:

1. Be as happy as I can, as many days that I can.

2. Live better.

3. Get closer to God.

Looking back, I definitely accomplished all three of those. 2015 was a crazy year for me. I had a lot of wins and took a lot of losses, but I made it through. And I'm in a better place starting 2016, than I was a year ago. ​

This year, I have a lot of things that I want to accomplish. Both individually and as a family. The other day, Al suggested that we try to stop cussing (I cuss, not curse) for the new year. I told her that she could do whatever she wanted, but I'm not limiting my vocabulary. Hell naw. Besides that suggestion, we agreed on some really good ones.

 I love this time of year. It's a fresh start. Everyone is so optimistic. For me, it feels as if anything is possible, and this year I'm definitely thinking big. ​

I feel as though I'm finally figuring this crazy thing called life out. I'm in the best position of my life​. I know that it won't be easy, and that it will have it's ups and downs, but I know for a fact that this will be the best year of my life to date. I talked to God about it. (He said that he couldn't promise that the Chiefs would win the Super Bowl, but it's possible.)  I now have a clear vision of what I want my life to look like, and I am in full control of my destiny. This is the year that I make it happen. 

I only have one goal this year, and that is to create the life that I want to live.​ Now it's time to get to work.
