I must admit that I created this list for myself more than anyone else. Why? Because I felt as though I did not get a lot accomplished this year. I spent the first three and a half months of the year pacing around the house waiting for them to phone with a surgery date.
As we got into March, I was really getting antsy and decided to touch up my resume and look for a part-time job. The downside was knowing I was at the top of the surgical wait list and questioned the point of looking when I knew I would have to quit almost as soon as I got a job. Because of the length of time working and needing upwards of two months to recover from surgery, I knew medical leave from a new job would not be an option.

Because I have never been one to make “New Years Resolutions” and noticing that 2013 is approaching quite quickly, I have already started working on my list of what I would like to manifest in 2013. From the success I had in achieving almost all of the goals I set in the latter half of 2012, I will do the same for 2013 over the next few weeks.
Do you set New Years Resolutions? Do they work for you? Do you have a list of what you would like to accomplish in 2013? Feel free to share in the comment section of this post!
