As I was blog hopping today, I noticed a lot of "year in review" type posts. I did one last year, but I refuse to do one now. I don't really want to remember any part of this past year. I am ready for a new year...a new start.
I have a few goals for this year, and I think most are pretty attainable. First and foremost, I want to move. This is on the agenda for February, and we are already trying to find the perfect place to live. I want something with three bedroom, and a living room big enough for my family of five. That's not too much to ask for, right?
Second, I want to lose more weight. I am ending this year 40 pounds lighter than when it started, and though I do not know the reason behind the weight loss, I want it to continue. I really want to get the wii fit now that we have the wii, and I am hoping that will help me continue down this path.
Third, and this is going to be the hard one, I want to make more money on my blogs. I want to get out there and be read by more people, but I haven't figured out the best way to do that yet. I am going to have some cheap business cards made so that I can have them handy if I need them. I am thinking of doing more giveaways, and giving away things people will want to win. Then when I send out the prize, I can put my business card with it. I have read about bloggers leaving their cards in random places, like libraries and bookstores, but I am not sure I want to go that route. If you have cards and give them out, feel free to tell me how you do it. I am really curious.
Fourth, and finally, I want my husband to find peace. I know this is a weird one, and not really something that I can help him with. But, he has spent so much time worrying about what his family will do to him, that he has forgotten how to relax and enjoy life. I want us to continue therapy, and I want him to come to terms with his childhood, and be able to let things go. I want him to be truly, genuinely happy again.
Okay, that sounded like he is miserable all the time, but that is not the case. He doesn't walk around miserable...he just spends too much time looking over his shoulder for things he can't control.
Anyway, that's my year end post. Not a look back, but a look forward. I know 2010 is going to be a wonderful year. I am going to make sure of it.

Stopping by to say Happy and Healthy 2010 to you and Your family. God bless us all.
Not that I'm an expert or anything, but giveaways definitely pull in readers (from what I have seen on other blogs). Responding to comments left for you is a biggie too :o) I use Vistaprint for our cards (we have a non-profit) and they have some great free cards for the cost of shipping only - it's definitely worth it. Good luck!
I was going to suggest Vista also. I have gotten some free one's also.
Now that the Holidays are over maybe we can all settle down. I have childhood issues also. Keeping busy seems to help me.
Have a wonderful New Year and may all your dreams come true.
PS I do most of my dropping on EC from my commenter's list. As someone leaves a comment on my blog I add them to the list.
Yea, I was going to write a year-end summary, but it was too damned depressing, so I went with the decade one (which had at least some highlights!).
It's good to look forward. I hope the new year is better for all of us!
A Happy New Year to you and family.
Excellent goals. 2010 is bound to be better than 2009, right? I did a year in books post, but I'm not doing a whole year in review (don't want to rehash it either), and I don't make resolutions anymore. So, happy new year! May 2010 bring you everything you want and more.
