Goals, Goals, Goals

When my boys were little...and up through their growing up years we sat at the table in January and set goals. They HATED it!!! I kept a notebook with their goals at every age. The maturity shows up in the goals they aspired to attain. It always brings a smile to my face until I read the goals I set for myself. I still haven't reached them!!!
Terry had a goal for years that was to make six close friends to be his pallbearers! (He just makes ya wanta laugh!)

My biggest all time goal has been and probably always will be: Lose weight!
This year I was able to shed 25 lbs with Alli pills and thank God for it! I am now doing a combination of Alli and Weight Watchers. Keep your fingers crossed. I need to go another40 to 50 lbs!

I also set a goal of book selling. My ultimate goal is over 5000 books sold. My short-term goal was 500. YESTERDAY WE OFFICIALLY REACHED 500 COPIES OF NAN'S JOURNEY SOLD!
This morning I had an order for 5 more and also 2 from His Corner Bookstore at Community Worship Center sold. As of this minute we are at 507... 4493 to go!!!!
Terry set the next goal at 1000 so that I wouldn't get discouraged....so that leaves 493 to go for that one. Ha!!!

Nan's Journey is in at least 22 states (the ones that I am aware of anyway) and is sold around the world because of Tate Publishing distribution through Ingram Spring Arbor. I think a cool goal would be to have documented sales in all 50 states whatever countries it is available in.

Another seemingly unreachable goal is to GET OUT OF DEBT! Hope springs eternal...

Any interesting goals????
