My 2016, New Years Resolution List

by  • 

Hello and Happy New Year,

I don’t normally have so many resolutions, or do I post them for anyone and everyone to see.  My hope is that doing this will help me stick to my guns and complete them by 12/31/2016.

  1. Clear out the garage enough to fit one car to load/unload Robert, who has epilepsy and uses either a wheelchair or walker on a daily basis.
  2. Increase posting to PickYourPain.org and grow it more.
  3. Complete and become a, Certified Caregiving Consultant through http://www.caregiving.com.
  4. Get “leg” healed once and for all.
  5. Organize Mom’s side room and her shed.
  6. Take a class a month from http://www.universalclasses.com
  7. Move boxes we use the least of in the garage up into the attic.
  8. Decide on backyard landscaping and implement it. (Cover pergola with clear corrugated plastic, build seating around fire pit).
  9. Get front yard filled with drought (low water) plants and a drought tolerant ground cover.
  10. Build Christmas and Halloween decorations at a minimum of one a month.
  11. Organize and maintain office and build minimum three 5′ floating shelves.
  12. Start a walk/workout routine which will help with my chronic back pain and to help me maintain if not lose a few pounds.
  13. More to be added……….

I will provide updates on how I’m doing with these and will add more as I figure them out.  Wishing everyone a great new year.  Keep Blogging
