The basis for my monthly goals is the AMAZING
BOOK, The
Happiness Project. This month all my goals are centered around my
passions and hobbies. I love this month's goals because hobbies and passions can
bring so much joy into my life, but at the same time I can feel so guilty for
taking time to actually DO my passions and hobbies.
Make Time

My first goal is to actually make the
time. If I sit around and wait for the time to land in my lap then it
will never happen. Especially since I have a brand new baby that can take
much of my time. I need to schedule time for myself to pursue my passions
and hobbies.
Enjoy this refreshing time

Like I said in a couple paragraphs above, I can
make myself almost physically sick with guilt for taking time to pursue my
passions and hobbies. I will make myself feel so bad for not spending
more time with my daughters or husband. I will look around the house and
see the many projects that need to be completed. This month I plan on throwing that guilt aside and enjoying this time.
Read 3-4 books

This will be quite a feat for me if I can
pull it off. I used to read so much before I became a mom. Now it
is so hard for me to do. I still read, just not as much. My time is
so filled with wonderful mommy things. When it is not filled with mommy
things then I love spending time with my amazing husband. I still work
and have many work responsibilities along with a house that needs to be
maintained. So guess what falls to the bottom of the list? Reading.
By the time I hit the bed I almost pass out from exhaustion. I hope
I can pull this goal off.
Finish all my incomplete paper crafting
projects

I have so many paper crafting projects
that I have started and are taking up space and honestly energy. If I
could finish them and put them to use then I would feel so much better. I
just know it. So I plan on finishing those. With that comes my
Christmas cards for this year too. Those have been started, but are not
even close to finished.
