Out of the many I set the only one on track is my mileage goal and new travel opportunities. Although I did pay my credit card off and I should have the car paid off this year. I also have checked 1-2 items off the overall bucket list so I guess that's something :) Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03546209255949285406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-14634810161837809092016-07-21T22:04:29.416-05:002016-07-21T22:04:29.416-05:00I used to set 10-15 goals a year and do quarterly ...I used to set 10-15 goals a year and do quarterly check ins. Ever since my last major break up almost 3 years ago, my goals went from 10-15 a year to maybe just 1-3 a year. This year I had 3 travel goals and made 2 of them happen. I'm also trying to figure out this freelancing thing but that goal isn't a hard measurable one yet. It's basically "did you have to go into your savings yet?" yes or no goal.

This is what is so hard about long-term yearly goals: it's had to predict what might happen over the course of a year, like needing hip surgery! But you're doing SO WELL with all the goals you COULD control, so way to go, you!Stephanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01664500645286563334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-18742245374061743982016-07-21T10:31:26.531-05:002016-07-21T10:31:26.531-05:00So awesome!

You are rocking your goals and honestly, even if you only achieved the volunteer one this year that would be an incredible accomplishment in and of itself!! One of my goals was to write a sentence a day in a journal and I totally dropped the ball on that from April - July. The craziness of our move was just too overwhelming. But I'm getting back into it now and going to try to keep it up through to the end of the year!

Just in general. For giving back, for witnessing the difference, connecting with new people and etc. Glad to hear you are receiving many returns on your volunteering! <br /><br />Nice job on the book goals, too.

I know it's so disappointing that the health and fitness goals are out of your control and you would much rather have been able to do those than have hip surgery, but I also know you will eventually run again and that's awesome! Way to go on the other goals! I love the volunteer role you've decided on, that's so fantastic! It is like we won a jack pot by being born in the States, over the years I've come to understand this more and more!Charbellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12023222309412936172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-81628818405772185362016-07-20T07:38:20.983-05:002016-07-20T07:38:20.983-05:00You are doing awesome on your goals!

I can't even remember if I set goals a the beginning of the year ... the very beginning of the year is a bit of a blur as I was told in the first week of the year that I would probably be having a baby a month early! I did set some goals at the beginning of the summer though. I am doing okay. Exercise has been a bit of a challenge and I really need to get that figured out before I go back to work. My plantar fasciitis has flared back up and I have been trying to do lots and lots of stretching to help it. Right now a 2 mile walk has given me so much pain afterwards it doesn't even seem worth it. :( Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14988329739506603529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-12621568834422100112016-07-20T07:34:01.911-05:002016-07-20T07:34:01.911-05:00I started volunteering weekly with a cat rescue or...I started volunteering weekly with a cat rescue organization (in the past I only fundraised for them through my races). I've had to give it up while pregnant as I can't scoop litter, but I really loved giving back to a cause that is so close to my heart. I still get to stop in and visit with them, so that is at least something. All of my health/fitness goals went out the window this year as well. Honestly, I don't even remember half of my goals! There's always next year... ;) Emiliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10363593720274547255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-16935798276104553082016-07-20T07:33:54.882-05:002016-07-20T07:33:54.882-05:00I love that you are having a good experience with ...I love that you are having a good experience with your ESL volunteering.
