2009 Goals

I just finished writing my goals for 2009. Wow! I have busy year ahead. I have divided the goals as Writing Goals –including keeping up this blog. HOME (Happy Open Meditative Environment) Goals, Business Goals, A Course in Miracles Goals, and Personal Goals. 

Every month I also write a list of monthly goals to check off as I accomplish them. Weekly and daily lists are on my palm pilot and pretty much coincides with my calendar schedule. My day begins around 6:30 and ends around 10:30. My most productive time is during the day. After dinner is usually a quiet leisure time. We often eat dinner late to accommodate our exercise time. I would love to hear how others plan their year, months, weeks and days. 

Of course remember: The quickest way to make God laugh-tell Him your plans!

I am always open to all of them changing in an instant!!

Have a great year, month, week, and day!!

The New Year Has Begun

Happy New Year. It is the second day of the year and I have managed to stay balanced, not by long sitting meditation or disciplined yoga, but by maintaining an awareness of my energy and state of mind. We still have out of town company and we are entertaining again tonight. I had a party yesterday and partied at my daughter’s house on New Year’s Eve. Tomorrow we are celebrating my son’s birthday. On Sunday when our family goes home after a busy holiday week, our nest will resume its state of emptiness and there will be no excuse for not taking quiet time.  One thing I have found very helpful is to keep our stereo playing peaceful and soothing music. That does not mean it can’t have a bit of a beat. I like to break out into a dance every once in awhile. Dancing has a way of balancing energy.

I hope you are all enjoying the dance of life as the New Year begins.
