** UPDATE **  My final review of goals and accomplishments is posted here.  **

Here is my working list of goals for 2012 that I wrote out in January.  I will review and update this again after Labor Day weekend in September.

I do not expect to finish all these goals; rather, these are my ideas of the various things I’d like to accomplish if time, energy and finances permit.  This blog post talks about how I choose my goals and get things done on the list.

1. Read Jesus Calling and its Bible verses each day
2. Take more short trips
3. Declutter and organize the house
4. Improve my physical self
5. Continue to evolve my blog
6. Continue taking photos

9. Take a self portrait class
10. Write & publish an e-book
11. Participate in NaNoWriMo
12. Put together more photo albums

16. Print all computer journals
17. Scan handwritten journals (at least some of them)
