Happy New Year and all that stuff
Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a very happy new year. Mine was good. Not nearly as much arguing as there has been in past years so that's good. Even if the mother-in-law kept asking me if the shirt she got me was big enough since she noticed I've gained a good bit of weight. Yes, she actually said that. More than once! Yeah, she says things like that all the time.
There's more sad news for the family of my friend that passed away a few weeks ago. Her father passed away two weeks after Annette from a heart attack. The only thing that could help to get them through the holiday is how they're together in heaven. I could not imagine what they might possibly be going through the last month with their loss.
My Grandma hasn't been so good the last two days while I was there. She needs help with everything and it just feels like she weighs next to nothing even though she eats a good bit each meal. It just breaks my heart watching this strong woman not be able to do hardly anything at all alone anymore after she has done everything she could to help everyone in her life for all of these years. She's ready to go. She misses Granddaddy terribly. I've wondered the last couple of days if she's hanging on just because she thinks maybe we're not ready for her to go. Like if she hangs on until she's sure in her heart that we'll be okay it might be better. I never thought I would ever do this but I am actually saying prayers to end the pain, suffering and to let her be with Granddaddy after all of these years. I know it will be anything but easy but watching her now is not easy either.
Okay, I'm all emotional again so I figure it is time to change the subject. I have goals for this year. And I wrote them down, put them in my other two livejournals and then decided I would share them here! So, here we go! :D
Yes, I'm writing them down as goals because I royally suck with resolutions. Obviously. Considering I have big plans in the beginning of the year and by the middle of January I've forgotten everything. *sigh* This. year I have signed up to write a million words. Yes, a million words written in 2014. So far, I've written about 30. Off to a zooming start huh? Just over 2700 words a day to hit a million which I know I can do. It's just a matter of me sitting down and getting in gear and doing it. Every. Single. Day. See, there's the kicker. Must write every single day no matter what.
I am also going to make sure I participate in FlashFriday every single week, even if I hate what I've written for the prompt. Cannot get better if I don't try, right? Right. Then there's the whole plan to complete bingo cards if we're still doing that over in NaNoLJers. I royally sucked in 2013 but actually, my ideas that I never wrote for those bingos will be written this year as part of my million words! :D YAY!
Well, I suppose that is all for now. Just wanted to get a quick post out there so I could post my goals and have them in black and white. Or whatever color they are on here! :)
Well, there we go. My goals. Not resolutions because they never seem to work out for me. I hope y'all are having a wonderful day today and have a great weekend! *waves*
Happy New Year to all!!
