Thanks, Sue, for the response. I know I do not write here often. After I spend my day writing for work, college and Madison's school stuff + daytimer and all the sticky notes on my desk....I just cannot seem to find time to write down my thoughts! lol But, indeed I am trying!
My brother did this several years ago - though he might not be aware, I try at the end of each year to list 100 goals for the next year. Most are short-term, some are long-term...some of them simply roll over to the next year. I have been able to accomplish several things the past few years since starting this.

Good blog Joann, That is a good start, maybe I need to do that, make me a list and read it every day. I have not posted much lately but maybe I will get back, now that I am feeling like myself again. Love you and hope we can become closer than we have in the past. One of my goals for this year.
