I made an instagram goal to post a picture every day.
FAIL
I like the idea of insta better than actually instagramming. Will I attempt to try instagramming next year? You will just have to wait till tomorrow to find out!!
My book goal was 85 books
WIN
I read 128 books this year.
My movie goal was to see all the Oscar nominated films
WIN
While I did not see one of the Oscar nominated documentaries, I am taking the win for seeing everything else that was nominated
My goal was to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art once a week
WIN
While I did not go every week, I think I made it 49 weeks. I call that a win. Last year I was at gallery 160 in my quest of visiting galleries in numerical order. On my next trip I will be at Gallery 700
My goal was to blog every day
WIN
In fact, I have blogged over 500 straight days
My other goals:
- NY Times crossword- WIN
- Live Theater and Music- WIN
- More art- WIN
- Wander book and stationary stores- WIN
- Flower Pics- WIN
- Organize desk better- WIN
- Make every day count- WIN
Yay! Being honest- I think every win far out numbers not meeting the IG goal. My time on insta lasted all of one vacation plus a few months.

You are reminding me subtly that I need a new planner for next year: two, one for my home office and one for my pocketbook. I like your goals: attainable without outside input as in I really hope this other person or whatever calls…no ghosting there, only attainable!

Yay, you are back on my email feed again! I missed reading your blogs each morning. ( I have n idea what happened).
Bravo for so many accomplishments. You actually achieved most of your goals. That isnβt easy and says quite a lot about your character and determination! (You are a force to be reckoned with, lady)! I say you should be very proud of yourself. Most of us set a few goals. You not only set them you itemized them and put them into a virtual outline.
Honestly, I donβt read or buy self hep books, but Iβd buy yours. All youβd have to do is gather up your most successful or most unique blogs with questions concerning life betterment skills, empowerment, world views etc. whatever, and turn them into book form and sell it on Amazon. It could be free or have your proceeds go to the charity of your choice. WordPerfect has a book format and Amazon sells their own version of a published book format. So you could even self publish. But Iβm serious. Your thought provoking blogs require thinking, feeling, and actually force your readers to approach subjects from all angles. You donβt know all the answers. So that makes you like the rest of us and we can relate to your vulnerability. But, you continually work on yourself, body and mind and most of us can also relate to similar conflicts or struggles. So I personally think you could have a published hit on your hands! Just a possible goal you may want to think aboutβ¦.
BTW, When I was younger Iβd set a list of goals each year that I wanted to accomplish. Most of them I did, a few I did not. But, I tried. Well, Sort ofβ¦ I never lost my sweet toothβ¦ lol
Did I accomplish what I wanted in 2022? Well, my first goal was to beat cancer so thatβs a split answer But Iβd say a big YES and I Checking that goal off anyway. No, I didnβt beat cancer, Iβm back in treatment. But I did indeed survive another year! And that outweighs all other goals! So yes, I accomplished the most important goal on my list.
As so did all of your readers. For as long as we all have survived another year and can still get back up when we fallβ¦Wipe away tears after they fallβ¦As long as we can still be kind to one another, smile at our fellow human beings, have a warm safe roof over our heads, then Iβd say we have all have had a great year! Happy 2023 everyone! Peace and love in 2023.

I must have done something while on pain meds and I lost your blog. But I figured it out. Letβs just say, I survived surgery but it revealed my cancer is back and thriving. Soβ¦ Iβm back on chemo. One month I had a type of chemo that affected my heart so thatβs outβ¦ yesterday I had another treatment and we shall see how this chemo cocktail works. If it zaps the cancer cells than great!
But the positives about goals in 2022, I had my doc push back all chemo until after Chanukah and Christmas. So my entire gang was with me for the holidays and I wasnβt sick from chemo. It was terrific. It doesnβt get better than that! Happy NewYear! π«ΆβοΈ
