New Year, New Goals

 Today starts a new year and many are making resolutions to change,  however I encourage my children to set goals to strive towards instead of hard resolutions that include high achieve/fail expectations. I teach  them that no matter what their goal(s) may be the best thing we can expect is to be better than we were the year before whether that be health, finances, relationships, career, education, or whatever other goals we have. Personally, my goal(s) for this new year is to focus on taking care of myself, my family and advancing my career. I will do this by taking steps to protect my peace, make changes to become healthier, help my children set and make strides towards their personal goals, and build my writing career. My daughter's goals are to become more organized, prepare for getting her driving permit/license, and get a job. My son's goals are to learn to skateboard better, become more organized, learn the electric guitar, and learn to control his emotions better. We as a family will work together to make strides toward these goals.
