Goals

PROMPT May 26th

Make a list of your top five short term goals and a separate list of your top five long term goals. What steps will you take to achieve them?


This reminds me of the 'What did you do on your summer vacation?" assignment at school. What do you write about this? A short version came to me last night at midnight,

Short Term:
Wake up in the morning
Make the bed each day
Read the Bible each day
Walk each day
Write something each day

Long Term:
Do each of the Short Term goals for the rest of my life. I mean, like Robert Waltz said, at my age, what else is there? I don’t drink, so alcohol is out. I don’t do drugs, so that is out. I don't work at a real job anymore, so no climbing that ladder. Social goals? Try to be a nice person.

So I’ll just live my life with my husband the best I can. I’ll go to church as often as I can. I’ll try to write as much as I can. I’ll try to be the best person I can be. I’ll just try to live as long as I can.

There. That’s five. Done.
