Welcome 2009

It’s the start of a BRAND NEW YEAR! Time to get new goals listed and accomplished even though I have left-over goals from last year yet to be done. I don’t do ‘resolutions’ because I never get them done. So I decided a while back to set goals instead. What’s difference between ‘resolutions’ and ‘goals’? Not much except that I feel that the term ‘goals’ makes me feel more motivated to accomplish them as opposed to ‘resolutions’ that seem more passive and doomed to failure.

Goals I’ve Set & Achieved in 2008:
Written (and soon-to-be published) stories
Learned calligraphy
Gotten a job in Macau (but was unable to accept it because I had a baby)

Left-over Goals from 2008:
Falling in love with Macau (yes, I’ve to do this again)
Learning to put on make-up, especially for the wintry weather
Learning to speak Cantonese fluently

Goals for 2009 (in order of importance)
To be a CHEERFUL Stay-At-Home-Mum to my Chubby Cakes
To be a CHEERFUL Stay-At-Home-Wife to my husband
To be consistently blogging
To be consistently journaling and refining my stories

Here’s to a FABULOUS YEAR ahead!

Good News in Everyone

I was just trawling through the Net for inspirational devotions for mums when I found this quote. And I’m posting it to inspire you as well as remind myself to continue dreaming and dancing.

“Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news.
The good news is that you don’t know how great you can be!
How much you can love!
What you can accomplish!
And what your potential is.”
Anne Frank
