2018 Goals!

So, every year, I make a list of "New Year's Resolutions." The definition of "Resolution" is a firm decision to do or not to do something. It also means the action of solving a problem, dispute or contentious matter. I don't feel that I have any problems in need of solving, but at the same time, although determined, I will not hate myself if I don't cross everything off on this list, but I will be trying my very best to hit all of the "goals" on my list for 2018.

This year, I really thought long and hard about my list...

1. Get in touch with past friends. I am a FB person all the way...I love the fact that I can see my friends and their families grow over time. I would like to get together sometime over the year for lunch with some friends from my past. I will be popping in to say "hello" on FB too!

2. Check into Fostering Animals. We have 4 cats of our own, but are really unable to have a dog. We make annual visits to the humane society and see grown cats in need of homes. I would love to be able to give these animals a loving place to stay until they can find a forever home.

3. Make 1 mini trip per quarter. We take 2 long vacations per year to Myrtle Beach and Emerald Isle, where my in-laws live, but are limited to those areas and we are explorers all the way! We love to experience new places and things to do and there are so many places with unique things to discover!! We made a trip to Butler this year (included Zelionople, Evans City, Cranberry, Portersville and Mars) for an overnight stay and it was one of the most fun trips we have ever taken! Sometimes you never know what you will find until you are there...for instance,

Would you have ever guessed that Butler has a Stealth Bomber sitting in the middle of a field on a country road? What is in it is even more amazing!! An incredible, hands on toy store!

How about the fact that Zelienople has a cool candy store that is famous for their triple chocolate dipped malt balls? Baldingers Foods from All Nations!

Evans City is the home of the filming of "Night of the Living Dead" That is me in a split screen with the movie clip. We loved finding all locations throughout the cemetery!

Don't get me started on the the huge snowman that serves shaved ice in the middle of nowhere and the city of Mars with a UFO planted right in the middle of town! 

Forget international travels, there is so much hidden just in the United States!

4. Hit Lifetime again. I have been back on Weight Watchers for the past year and seemed to hit a plateau that I just can't seem to pass. I was 7 lb away and the scale would not budge. Will I do it in 2018?

5. Finish "Love" Movie List and begin a new one. My husband and I have been working our way down the "Top 100 Love Movies on the Silver Screen." 

We began this list in September of 2013 and were determined to get it finished in 4 years, but it didn't happen. That is life popping in on ya! We have the last few that need to be watched and we will have graduated this list. We plan on coming up with another list after this one is completed. I think my hubby is ready for some comedies!

6. Write up my "wishes" I guess I always think I have everything I need, but come Christmas time, I always have people asking me for a list of items I "wish" to have. I am going to try my best to keep an ongoing list throughout the year for those who ask. 

7. Make more time for myself. Anyone who knows me, knows that I am full force into everything I do. If the goal is Presidents Club for Avon, I get there. If I have a certain amount of sales I want to hit for the Flea Market, I do it. Have a schedule to follow? I do it to a T! This year, I am going to carve some time in for me. Shut off work at a certain time and just focus on me....

That is all...7 goals for 2018!
