This made me cry, and my very ambitious goals for December

I read a bit from my Google Reader this morning and this post made me cry. For real.

I think you'll also enjoy it, especially Claudia, Julia and Natalie.

It is long, though, so go grab a mug of tea and settle in :)

**************************************** 

Okey-dokey, can you believe we're 28 days away from 2012?

Be prepared for me to get more and more excited as the month progresses - I love the fresh slate that is a new year.

For December, these are my goals:

Personal

1. Exercise 8 times this month
2. Try and get really close to my reading goal for the year (have to read another 8 books!), failing which, read 5 books.
3. Get all Christmas cards done by 8th.
4. Get all my gifts done
5. Blog twice on friendship
6. Decorate the house - done (this was only done this morning)
   
7. Read camera manual
8. Figure out how to make a camera bag I was shown dead boring black camera bags for R600 plus. I told the guy, "there is NO way I'm paying that kind of money to be that boring :)" I had my gorgeous red bag with me so he could see. I've googled some crafty blogs and I have an idea and Lord knows, I have plenty of real bags that just need some padding. It may not be "professional" but it will be pretty :)
9. Keep praying about ministry next year
10. Go see two movies (I have tickets that my work gave me for Women's Day that expire 31 Dec) - any suggestions? I don't do Twilight and similar though...
    
11. Do 8 random acts of kindness 
    
12. Socials - work Christmas function, C's party, K & B for brunch, another K & B for lunch, maybe have one friend over for Christmas (we're still deciding)
13. Finish November photos
    
14. Do year in review page for November and December and print pics so I can finish my book
    
15. Make at least two different types of cards
16. Make travel journal for D, a friend at work, who flew to Thailand today - totally jealous! 
17. Two date nights with D

Business

1. Post 12 blogs in December and write 3 newsletters
2. Submit design brief 
3. Review changes from copywriter
4. Put book in correct format and order proof copy
5. Send to designer to format for Kindle
6. Delete one domain Transferred all files to current live website and deleted yesterday
7. Send thank-you cards to all 2011 coaching clients plus gifts to the ones who stayed more than 3 months
8. Declutter and organise external hard drive
9. Figure out how to keep busy just enough without working myself to the bone (that's the million dollar question, right?!)
   
10. Have Christmas sale
11. Set 2012 goals

Okay, even for me that looks a bit hectic but aim high and all that jazz :)

What are your goals (or intentions) for December?
