Personally, the highlights of the year 2014 are more than that of the low points, I thank God for growth, good health and stability and for everyone i know (family, friends, colleagues, classmates, acquaintances, etc.), it has also been a good year for them as well in general. I look back and i'm extremely grateful, sometimes it's hard to believe its my life and i've come this far; even just by reading back on my old blogposts. I'm looking forward to a better 2015 with even more highlights and lessssss low points. I'm not the best at working with New Year Resolutions, instead To-do lists are more up my alley and are more effective for my ever procrastinating self.
My To-do list at the moment for the Year 2015 is as follows:
- Spiritual Growth
- To acquire new skills (Sewing, Bead making, Baking)
- Start Exercising
- Be Healthier
- Travel
- Finish up our house decor
- Save more (i have drawn up a budget for my family so this seems feasible)
- Procrastinate less *fingers crossed (so help me God)
- Blog more (*sigh i'll tryyyyy)
- Read more (i got a number of books already and plan to get some more)
- Acquire more property
- Be more creative
- Explore more business opportunities
I can tick-off and add to the List as required, it keeps me sane
I wish us all a great 2015, may our dreams come to life and the purpose of God for our lives; i pray for peace in our lives, cities & towns, countries and the world at large.
Happy New Year in advance!!! Stay safe.
