Discipline is good for you...

...right? Instead of resolutions this year I decided to set goals for myself. I set short term and long term goals and I'm working diligently to achieve them without seeing it as a failure if I don't. One of my goals is to read a nonfiction book each month. I finally finished January's with one week to spare! (I started it in mid-December) Now I need to start my February one and thought that since Feb. is short I should choose a short book. My choice, the 50 page "Short Guide to a Happy Life", by Anna Quinlan. (Is that cheating?)

Another goal is to take a dream vacation this year. I'm up in the air about this one. I really thought a cruise on the Music Boat 2010 would be great, but knew that I wouldn't enjoy it if I had to go by myself so as a second option I'm considering a trip to Italy with my aunt and cousin. This requires a passport and a BIG step out of my comfort zone. So even the 'fun' goals require decisions and follow through.

I'm also trying to enlarge my social networking skills off the computer. In an effort to do that I'm trying to invite people over ever so often. The tough part will be when I go outside of my family to do this and planning what to do to entertain said company. I have until the end of February to have my first 'party', anyone interested in coming to my house for games, movie, or just to borrow my sauna?
