What do you want to accomplish/do this year?

I am not sure what category this should have been placed in, so I put it here.

Okay ladies ... it is a new year. But this post is not about resolutions or about dieting. That's taboo here. It's about you, your business, your loves, etc. What do you, as a wonderful Boomer Woman, want to accomplish this year? (Order of listing does not necessarily mean order of priority.) Just list a minimum of 5 things. I'll start:

1. I want to help others more. Whether through words or deeds.

2. I want to get my book into the hands of everyone that needs it. The main purpose of the book was to help others.

3. I want my book to be sponsored or granted by the government and/or groups.

4. I want to write columns, articles, appear on TV (without being in trouble) and talk on the radio.

5. I want to travel to Paris. I know they hate us, but the artist in me longs to experience Paris.

6. I want to get my second book in print. (I just have to write it ... minor details, but it will get done.)

7. I want to laugh more. JJ has already contributed much to that!

8. I want to spend more time with my family.

9. I want to be more mindful every day of my blessings. I am blessed!

Perhaps in seeing each other's list, we can assist, prod and, above all else, encourage each other.

Your turn!

Hey, I guess I lived with Mr. Anal too long. Could you make it an even 10 please? I can't stand it because there are only 9. hahah...okay, so it rubbed off on me. Sue me.

1. Get my book published and sell a bazillion copies.

2. Pay off my Credit Card bill (See No. 1).

3. Travel across the U.S. and meet all the boomer sistahs. THEN...do a BOOMER WOMEN SPEAK CALENDAR!

4. Go to Ireland. And not in my dreams. REALLY go to Ireland.

5. Sell more articles to the big girls..Woman's Day, "O," Woman's World, etc...

6. See my friends succeed with their dreams.

7. Loose the kazillion lbs I've gained.

8. Work full time writing.

9. Have someone tell me that I remind them of Erma...sigh.

AND....big finish

10. Hear my granddaughter call me Big Mamma

JJ

JJ how soon they forget. I compared you to Erma in writing no less, ions ago!!! Remember??? What, do you want it in blood too??? he he!! Be back to complete this post later.

Okay, just for your Erma -

10. Ditto your #1

One quick note on anal. I mentioned to my boyfriend, live-in, partner (oh, what do I call him at this age?) that he was being a little anal about something. Now, even though he has a Masters degree, he thought anal was a short term, slang word, for analytical. Oh my! Even thought it was a compliment. Bigger oh my! I proceeded to enlighten him on the true meaning of the term. I managed to do two things: Get my point across about him being anal on a subject, and, thank goodness, correct his misconception. To think he was going to compliment someone else by calling them very anal.

I once told an old boyfriend he was "anal" and later explained what it meant. When I called him that again, he said, "Does that mean you think I am an a--hole?"
I said, "Exactly!"

He was so funny I somehow endured dating him for quite a while.
