I love Christmas and the New Year means the end of that special season. Makes me think of the lyrics from that Elvis song, "Why can't every day be like Christmas?" My husband and I spent Christmas morning with 2 of our daughters, their husband, and 3 of our GRANDS, then went to a family gathering where we participated in a White Elephant Christmas gift exchange. Fun. :) This Christmas was extra special because of our GRANDS, including the addition of our newest, Andi. She's a cutie, y'all!
I've finally gotten all the Christmas stuff packed away, a few Valentine's items out to keep the house from looking so bare minus the garland and lights, and am digging back in to writing. I haven't really set goals the past few years other than one that is the only official goal I've made the past two years. It's a simple one, but one that had weighed on my heart for some time. It's that every time I see someone ask for prayers that I officially stop what I am doing and pray for them. Right then, right there. No exceptions. So, no official New Year's goals again this year other than to continue that life change that I happened to start at the beginning of a year.
That said, I make lists on a regular basis and mark items off so in that sense, I do routinely have written goals. Usually my lists center around my day off from the day job to ensure that I get the things done that I need to get done. Sometimes I make lists for the week or even the month. I find I get more done that way and am less likely to forget something that needed completed.
What about you? Did you set goals for 2026? Or are you a list maker on a regular basis? Do you find that you achieve things more frequently if you write them down? Or are you self-disciplined enough that you don't need a list or an official goal to make things happen?
