THE LIST OF INTENTIONS

© Scottie-ann Murphy

The old year ended; the New Year begun

Once again twelve months of new challenges

Adventures, mountains to concur and rivers to cross

Another year to accomplish goals, dreams

And hopes in our lives

We begin the year with good intentions

Plan accomplishments for the year

Make resolutions we promise to see through

A list is made on the first day of the year

Each item numbered one, two, three or more

Proudly we start our new routine on January first

Every day trying hard not to shirk our new aspirations

January, February, March even through April

Continuing with our mission to keep our new intentions

Hard as it may be, a goal may be forgotten

Or un-accomplished by mid-year;

Resolutions made at the start of the year

May not be completed by year’s end

But……we hope to have the chance to try

Again on the next January first

I decided to continue with the discussion of goals and intentions for the New Year.  I stated on January twenty-first two goals have been completed thus far.  As of the other day, I completed a third.

Reviewing my list, I find many are on-going projects to accomplish as well as on-going intentions for a better self.

One of my numbered items, I do have a few, to finally sign-up for a Facebook page.  I am not computer savvy so doing this quite a challenge for me, but I did it.

Unfortunately I am now spending a lot of time trying to connect with people from my past.  Doing this has now taken me from other aspirations I have on my ‘list of goals for 2013’.

As I re-read ‘the list’ today, I realized I needed to revise it by adding the following; limit time spent on Facebook and review list on the first of each month.

So far I am on track with my 2013 New Year’s goals.  Are you on track with yours?  Do you have to take a look at your list and make revisions or even make a goal list?  It is never too late to begin now; the year is only twenty-six days young you know.
