Non-goals for 2012

I normally don't set goals at the beginning of the year.

Okay, that's a lie.

I do...sort of, but I don't go nuts
nor beat myself up if I don't get to accomplish them.

 Okay, that's another lie.

However, I am much better now than I used to be at
forgiving myself when failure seems to stare me in the face.
The road to success can have patches of failure scattered all around.
The key is to just keep going.
I get that now, most of the time anyway. I think.

So instead of calling goals "goals",

I call them my "plans" for 2012.
Yes, the word "plan" seems to have a sense of continuity. I like it.

All right then...so this year, I plan to...

Here is to a new year, a new beginning, and renewed focus.

 

What's YOUR number one goal plan for this year?

Thank you for stopping by, loves!

This coming year...

I have plans for this coming year...

lots of plans...

Tengo planes para este año que viene...

muchos planes.

I will enjoy life.

I will do something that scares me.

Disfrutaré la vida.

Haré algo que me dá miedo.

I will find beautiful treasures for my new Etsy shop.

Encontraré tesoros hermosos para mi nuevo negocio en Etsy.

Hopefully, I will bring something beautiful from a trip to Europe.

Espero que pueda traer algunos de esos tesoros de Europa.

I will show my love to those close to my heart 

and will make new acquaintances to hold dear.

Mostraré mi amor a mis seres queridos

y haré nuevas amistades.

I will decorate my home so it represents Mr. A and I, 

our heritage, our love for our family, our travels.

Decoraré mi hogar para que nos represente a Mr. A y a mi,

nuestra historia, nuestro amor familiar y nuestros viajes.

I will enjoy life and treat myself as a queen.

I love who I am, I love where I come from.

I accept the challenges I have gone through 

and love what I have learned from them.

Disfrutaré la vida y me trataré como una reina.

Me gusta quien soy y de donde vengo.

Acepto los desafiós que he tenido y 

amo lo que he aprendido de ellos.

And I love you, my dear blog friends. 

You have made of this, my first year in blogland, a wonderful one.

Thank you, my loves, for your visits, your comments, your inspiration, your support.

Y las quiero a ustedes, mis amigos y amigas de este mundo blog.

Ustedes han hecho de éste, mi primer año en este mundo, uno maravilloso.
