Time to review my resolutions



I have decided that for this year, I'm keeping my 2009 goals fairly simple and doable :) Here they are:
* Improve my photography skills I still want to keep working at it, but think I have managed to bring my photography skills up a notch :)



* Try to hold back on my photoshopping, I go a bit overboard cause I have so much fun haha Done - I'm holding back, sometimes I still catch myself doing toooo much, but at least I can see it now and go back a few steps :)


* Enjoy the moments that a newborn offers, we got so stressed out with each cry from Katie that I think we were to scare to breath, and just take a moment to enjoy that fresh precious new stage, this time will be different :) Hopefully haha. I definately relaxed more with Lily and just enjoyed her even amongst chaos that life brought my way.  Wouldn't have minded if she stayed little for a wee bit longer though ;)


* Hope and wish to get front cover of a mag?? That is not too much for to wish for is it?? hahaha. Oh well I can always hope.  Weeeeee I was lucky enough to make it on there once this year!! Totally lucky!!


* Focus on the things that are good in my life instead of the things that bring us down. I think I was forced to do this one in order to cope with changes in our house, always a good thing though isn't it, to focus on what is good and precious in our life instead of what is going wrong!


So I am pretty proud of myself for being able to cross those off the list!!  I'm already starting to make some goals in my head for the next year.

1.  To save up to xxxx amount of money
2.  To get to and stay at my goal weight
3.  To take some dance lesson - I ALWAYS wanted too, never had, something Latin I think :)
4.  Fixing few things up around the house, I would love to finish painting the inside, popping in new light fittings and new bathroom mirror/cabinet at the very least.
5.  Go for at least one mini photography course

More too come, I'm still thinking, think I need more challenging ones in there :)

Who of you make goals??

Funny I haven't really been a goal kind of person as I forget to accomplish them hehe... But I suppose the small steps are the best steps.. For me I want to scrap more and get my PILE of stash much smaller
Good Luck with your goals and I shall keep of thinking of some
