Someone on a message board I frequent posted about what do we do, amidst all the planning for our kids, to plan for ourselves and our goals and education. I loved that! As moms, we usually don't plan and try to fit ourselves in amongst the daily grind of life. As a wise college professor once told me, "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." If my education is put on the back burner and I'm not a life-long, motivated, active learner, how can I expect my kids to think it's important enough for them? I can't. They will follow my example. So, here are some goals for me:
Learn something new:
--start learning to play chords on the piano
--landscape my back garden
Continuing Education:
--get all my past-tense Spanish verbs down so I don't have to think so hard!
--continue reading about Russian History, start journaling
--learn more about herbs and natural remedies
Character development:
--work with our family on specific character traits every month with journaling, reading, and accountability to each other
I'm hoping to come up with a plan of action, so to speak, on how I will start to accomplish these things. I know that I need accountability, so here it is. I've put it out there for anyone to see. That will, hopefully, make me motivated to begin a plan of attack!
