However, when life and its demands overtake my schedule, I do appreciate having one reminder to get back to business, even if it's just once a month. I'm sharing a short-term goal for December and I'd love any words of wisdom that you might have, to help me succeed. Merry Christmas and I hope the holidays are a time of refreshment and joy for you! http://www.dianeweidenbenner.com/iwsg-end-of-year-musings/Dihiwihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15246560909358107890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136420115688099157.post-11577203712321511552017-12-07T18:36:30.126-05:002017-12-07T18:36:30.126-05:00I do have a new thing planned for next year and I&...I do have a new thing planned for next year and I'm working on making it shiny.Susan Gourley/Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02669793865290876168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136420115688099157.post-11446504004489257522017-12-07T01:22:37.507-05:002017-12-07T01:22:37.507-05:00All good questions to ask myself.

I have finally got a sense of what 2018 writing goals are uppermost.

I love playing with the grandchildren and holding the new ones. Nothing tops that. Using my time wisely comes in second. After that, everything should fall into place.

Kicker is - I do just that - think about everything that did not work or worked out. It is a good thing to do but for me better the other way most of the time. <br /><br />Great post with thoughtful questions. Let's get out the construction tools and build us a road.
