Happy New Year 2017!

I always get excited about the new year, but for some reason for 2016 I just wasn't as prepared as I should have been.    I think because I was scrambling more, trying to spiral from the money issues I had I was trying to survive more then welcoming the new year.  I had a pretty good year in 2016 had it's ups and downs a great new budding relationship , and a year of figuring things out,

But this year I am ready! I'm going to make up my bucket list  and cross off things as I go . My daughter and I went to Barnes and Nobel yesterday got our new calendars and planners so we can plan plan plan....  Last year I tried to use a notebook as a journal, for me that just doesn't work I need an official book type of journal to record all of the things I intend to do on my bucket list  and actually remember how much I had while doing things as I check them off.

I have big hopes for this year, write down my list of goals not resolutions, seems as though resolutions are meant to be broken... my goals which I will write down in the front of my journal to remind me . My bucket list will be in there as well.



How do you plan for your exciting new year?    What kinds of things will you add to your bucket list and your goals?   we can all learn from each other.


I am taking down all of the Santa decorations that I have around my apartment, in their places I am adding beachy things......I'm thinking since my tree is not large and its artificial I may keep it up since I enjoy it being there with the lights go to a craft store and find hearts to hang on it... then shamrocks ..easter eggs  ,......star fish and shells ......  in the fall leaves and ring me back to Christmas again, whatcha think...


I am making my first spinach ..mushroom quiche of the new year..... paying my rent soon and early...dropping off books at the library early.....I'm going to try to pay things early when I can , save some money for emergencies and have fun this year...
