Finally - Word for the Year and 2017 Goals

Completion is my word for 2017.

One definition of the word meant 'conclusion/fulfillment'. And I really liked that idea. Bringing things to a conclusion with a sense of fulfillment.

After all, I am great at starting things, but my follow through lacks a bit.

Then the fire. And I despaired. Because not only had we lost our house (until it's rebuilt), but I lost my routine, things I wanted to do. I was adrift.

But I realized "Completion" still fit, I just had to step back and readjust my plans somewhat.

So...

Using Hal Elrod's Level 10 Life, I have come up with some plans for this topsy-turby 2017 (thanks Cindy and Christine for brainstorming with me).

Family & Friends

• Be grateful we are all hale and hearty
• Monthly 'fun' nights with family (of course, as competitive as we are this might not be a great idea!)
• Monthly craft afternoons with friends
• Monthly potlucks with friends
• Movie Tuesdays to stay in touch with Savvy

Personal Growth & Development

• Plan and deliver workshops for the library
• Look at alternate venues for workshops
• Stick to a morning and evening routine
• Monthly goal setting
• 175 books read and at least 1 book review weekly
• Complete Bite Me! - my NaNoWriMo book
• "Work" my various journals

Health & Fitness

• Track what I eat
• 10,000 steps daily
• Yoga or cardio 4X week
• Plan menus
• Pare down the amount of sugar in my diet
• Meditate and mindfulness to reduce stress in my life

Finances

• Set an allowance monthly
• Menu planning and shopping from a grocery list
• No impulse spending
• Use what I have

Career/Business

• Workshops through the library
• Enter work every day with a positive attitude
• Establish writing contacts
• Attend Miscon for writing in May

Fun & Recreation

• Hikes!
• Craft days
• Explore Montana
• Miscon in May
• Movies on Tuesdays

Spirituality

• Following Rhomeny's Realm and her Pagan Planner for 2017
• Study and use my tarot cards more
• Give people the benefit of the doubt - be more open and accepting

Contributions & Giving

• Support bloggers who I enjoy and follow through Patreon
• Look at ways to give back to the community

Physical Environment 

• Try to remain as stress-free as possible about the whole rebuilding our home process
• Adapt to where I am now and work with it rather than against it

Yep - it's a big list and many of the items span more than one category. But I have to have something to aim for in 2017.
