With the end of the year...

...comes reflecting. Goals. Photo projects. Word of the year.

2009 Goals

 

1. Master the Mac - I'm sure I haven't utilized all of its potential but I consider this accomplished.
2. Create 10 projects from my project to-do list - I wasn't interested in doing some of the projects anymore so I created 7 instead of 10 from the to-do list.
3. Train smarter - after an injury that prevented me from running for months I was determined to do everything I could to prevent another injury. Not to push it when I know I shouldn't. Cross training. Strength training. I'm ending the year with only one injury!
4. Read 50 books - I'm reading my 66 book now.
5. Strength train 3 times/week - this ended up being twice a week consistently.
6. Complete 2009 Project Gratitude - I just posted Week 50. Now to decide on how to compile these photos into a book or album.
7. Reverse or stop Osteopenia - this was a biggie. A stress fracture leads to concerns about bone density which leads to a Dexascan that leads to a diagnosis of Osteopenia. After getting over my frustration of wondering why and how when I try to do everything I can to stay healthy I decided to set goals and make a plan (put this in my comfort zone.) This goal is pretty much the catalyst behind 2 of my other goals as part of the treatment. I'm happy to say I have stopped the loss of bone mass!!  

2009 Photo Project 

52 Weeks 52 Photos 52 Blessings

In 2009 it has been Project Gratitude. 2010? I'm considering a Project 365 but I need direction and focus. I don't do well with random. Maybe a theme or joining a P365 group. Still thinking about this one.

Word of the Year

Inspired by Ali Edwards' One Little Word in 2007. In 2007 my word was Balance. In 2008 it was Time. And 2009 is Simplify. 

 

Love this concept and I'm amazed how effective it can be. I have simplified and as a result less stress and accomplishing more. I haven't even began narrowing down my choices for 2010. 

So, that is 2009. What of 2010? I will set goals. I will have a word of the year. And I will complete a photo project. More details after a little more thinking and planning :)

The best lists are the ones with all the things scratched out! Yay for you, Jill! Well done. Can't wait to see your goals for 2010 :) I must get on mine. Hmm ...

Wow Jill you amaze me with all that you accomplish in a year. And setting those goals and sticking too them! Awesome! I hope to do that this year and be able to reflect back to the ones I can cross off the list! Very inspiring!

This is amazing!!!! I have to start thinking of my goals for next year!!! I figured out how to get the cloud posted on the blog: drag it from fb to your desktop; save as a jpeg (it will be in png first) then import it onto your blog post as a pic! You probably already figured that out! Thanks for those links!!!!
