Set a goal... and score!

So, since I launched this little blog project you fell upon, thanks to TWiM (this week in mormons), I have added quite a bit of silly and heartfelt stuff.

I am also following advice received. to distinguish and set goals for this year and plans on how to attain them.  It is real hard.  To set the goals up was easy.  To actively thinking about them every day and taking action on attaining them is hard work.

I twittered on my twitter account about things that inspire me at the moment.  One of those is to really be aware of what I do with my time; how I choose to spend it; how I prioritise tasks and how I sometimes MUST forsake good things for even better ones.  NOW that is REAL HARD. 

I am now going after a Swedish drivers license, since the American is not valid here.  DANG! 
I am finishing my pre-qualifications to get a Swedish teaching degree.
I am working hard on becoming a better wife. 
I am working towards being able to go to the temple.  Last time I went was 6 years ago in Washington D.C..

So it all starts for me with 'Choose ye this day, whom ye will serve.' -Alma 30:8

For me one meaning of that is to remember who I am, and be kind to all.  Act with care, charity and with loving patience.  Keep my eyes on the prise.

I take great counsel in Elder Henry B. Eyring that warns us "There is a danger in the word 'someday' when what it means is 'not this day.' 

I'll let you know how it all pans out.

So here we are, 2012.

So here we are, 2012.

I decided to follow a great tip I heard over a podcast 'This Week in Mormons' episonde #50 from 2011-01-17.
Here was the tip:

One of the Talkhosts (believe it was Al Doan) on 'This Week in Mormons' has a relative who blogs on a regular basis.  As each year comes to an end, this person goes to an online bookbinding company  that pulls a copy of her blog -with pictures and all- and molds it into a hardcopy book format. 

For around 60 bucks, one can compile a year's worth of history, have it printed and bound into a hardcover book and receive it via mail for keepsake.

This I have to try!  Writing a journal is hard for me.  I procrastinate.

So here we go, 2012.
