Thank you for the compliment. Incidentally, it’s only in the last 10 years that I developed the patience and discipline to stick with a project to the end. Before that I had loads of unfinished projects gathering dust. It took months but I finished them and decided I’d never fall into that trap again.

Wonderful advice for crafters and life in general.

As an aside I give you so much credit for sticking with your projects no matter how long they take to complete.

Hi, glad to have you on board.

You made a very good point about not setting specifics. I mean it’s great if we can reach them. But if for whatever reason we don’t reach them, a lot of the time we tend to beat ourselves up about it. It gets harder to try again because of the fear of failure. Eventually we just abandon our goals and then carry a load of guilt for not having achieved anything.

‘Making the journey the resolution.’ I like that. I bet that would make a nice addition to your Zazzle collection.

Wishing you a blessed 2011 and thanks again for stopping by.

Hi Zulma … I finally broke down and registered on your site so I can comment (not sure what’s taken so long)

I have some specific goals for this year and specific behaviors I’ve identified that need to change to accomplish them. But, I have let go of the need to lose a specific amount of weight or save a specific amount of money. Instead I’m making the journey the resolution and accepting that I will mess up along the way.

My hope is simply to end the year closer to my goals than I currently am.

I am hoping that this new attitude will allow me to pick myself up and dust myself off and get back on track more quickly (with more forgiveness and less blame) when I do fall short.

May 2011 be a year of blessings for you!!!!
