Looking at my list, I was an utter failure. But I don't look at it like that. I think I was a "tad" bit overly ambitious. Many of the items are not bold faced because I didn't do them "all" the time or "every" time I said I would. That doesn't mean I didn't do them some of the time.
The goals I did complete were important to me, and I am very happy I completed them.
I do know, however, that my goals are going to be a bit different this year. And waaaaaaay paired down. I don't think I'll do a 100 list this year! I've already started giving it some thought as to what I'd like to accomplish this next year.
