Looking Back: 2010

Well, 2010 proved to have some successes and some unfulfilled goals. Like I've posted before, I like using yearly goals as guidelines.  We do it with finances: savings, giving and spending goals and it's worked well for the last 3 years so why not keep it up with other areas of my life?  Here's the deal, throughout the year I use the goal as a guideline.  I knew 10 races would be easier than a sweet a week.  I knew that 10 races would be easier than 20 books.  And as we can all see, I didn't quite make the sweet a week.  I actually failed miserably here at the end.  And as much as I want to use this pregnancy and hormones as an excuse I'm not going to.  I could have been stronger, much stronger.

In the near future I'm going to write about what I'd like 2011 to look like as far as "guidelines" go.  I know I want to keep the 20 books as a goal and we'll see what forms with the others.  My mind is a little nuts at the moment being 38 weeks pregnant.
