01. i hope to take more pictures.
• What!? Let's just say I accomplished this one. There were very few days that went by when I didn't take my phone out and take a picture. Not only that, but I also purchased a new camera and have taken it out once already. (only once, because I'm currently sidelined with a fractured toe...) I am so proud of the fact that I did this one.. it makes me happy to take pictures. So I do.
02. i hope to not obsess about my weight and along with that, try really hard to not talk down about myself.
• Another one I can check off the list! Before writing out this post, I ran through the list with the Demon. I was asking him if he felt I accomplished each goal. He agrees with me! I have not obsessed about my weight. I have spent the entire year not dieting. I haven't lost weight.. but I also haven't gained any. I am to the point that I can confidently say I am happy with who I am and how I look. I 'm okay if someone were to use "fat" to describe me. So? I am fat. I am a gorgeous fatty that kicks serious ass in life. So.. go on and say it. I own it!

03. i will tackle home projects - file cabinets, basement, blacktop the back yard.
• Okay... we should just move on along. Nothing to see here. I mean it, nothing. I did nothing here.

04. i hope to post even more on my blog.
• This is another one that I can't say I accomplished. My Grannie fell in May and never really recovered. My life was on hold for months. Blogging was always in the back of my mind but it was so much easier for me to snap those pictures and share, instantly, on Instagram. I am very thankful for that, though. I've met some really amazing people on Instagram. I suppose everything happens for a reason.

05. i will smile more...
• Ironically.. even though the last half of this year has been filled with many tears, I do feel that I have smiled a lot too. I pray that 2014 will be a better year for me and my family. I don't know how much more we can take.. No matter what comes our way, my family is strong and we will continue to survive. ♥

06. i hope to read more... i want to set a goal of at least 10 books. (and for me, that's a ton)
• Yeah. Let's just skip this one too..

07. i hope to pick one day out of the month and do a "picture an hour" post.
• Of all the goals I didn't manage to accomplish, this is the one I regret the most. I really wanted to do this one! Maybe this year..

08. i hope to continue to work on my patience.
• The Demon and I have varying opinions on this one. ha! I think I've handled life pretty well over the past year, considering what we've been through.

10. i will continue to work on releasing hurt and anger.
• This one we both laughed at, as well. I believe I will continue to work on this goal for the rest of my life.
So...there it is! Did you create a goal list? How did you do? I'm pretty proud of myself. Not just because I was able to accomplish a bit on this list - but that my family survived, yet another, heartbreaking year..and are still around to tell the tale.

Maybe I'll share a new goal list, soon.
Here's to a great 2014!
