New Month, New Goals

Who doesn't love a good challenge?  This month, I have accepted See Jane Write magazine's challenge to blog like crazy for the month of November.  Well, here goes nothing...

I can't believe it's already November.  This year has flown by so quickly.  When I think back to my list of goals for the year, I sadly have to admit that I didn't accomplish as much as I had hoped.  (I'm still trying to figure out why not, because I don't feel like I've "rested" very much. Hence the name, "Diva on the Run"!)  Nonetheless, I won't stop setting goals.  For that is one way that I'm sure to have something to work towards.  And, goal-setting is a great way to hold myself accountable and evaluate myself on a regular basis.

This month, I'm going to compose a list of things I plan to accomplish.  I'm going to keep my list short and sweet so that I feel more accomplished at the end of month and so that I don't get too overwhelmed.  So, here it goes.  Here's a list of things I plan to accomplish in the month of November:

• I will clean out my closet.  For real.  I'll get rid of the things that I haven't worn in over two years.  (Don't roll your eyes at me.  I'm sure you have some old stuff in your closet, too.)
• I'm going to update my den.  (I've been complaining about how uncomfortable my 10-year old couches are for about six months.  I guess I'm going to let these couches retire and replace them with something more modern.  It' really, really time for us to say goodbye to these.  Really.)
• I'm going to finish reading The Happiness Project. Then, I'm going to start a happiness project of my own.  
• I will contact 5 friends that I haven't spoken to in a while.  And, it won't be via text message.  Voice calls only.  

So, that's it.  Nothing too difficult, right?  One thing for each week of the month!  I can do this.  I will do this. Join me in making a realistic list of reachable goals for the month of November!
