Thanx, Gail and Ann for your good wishes. My fall garden (experimental and just for family) is doing well, I think. Anyway, my fall plantings are showing leaves!

Hazel, part of what I love about my local farmers’ market is that I can pick up organic beef, veggies and plants there! The difference is taste is unbelievable!!!

You go, girl!

Hazel what a great goal and best wishes with it. I too suffer from arthritis and wish I could do more, much more!

For some years, I had a home business making custom clothing and doing alterations and repairs. Unfortunately, arthritis has pretty much slowed me down. I can’t get up and down as I did, and my hands cramp rather viciously when I’m doing close work.

But I have a new goal!

I now live with my daughter who has about 3 acres just outside a small town, and have resumed gardening, but this time not just for home use. It’s just a beginning, but I’ve begun donating organic seedlings to groups that sell them as money raisers. By next spring I intend to place a small ad in our local paper offering organic seedlings, hardened and ready for transplanting. I will also offer limited quantities of organic, homegrown produce.

I don’t know how this will turn out, but I’m looking foward to trying!

I agree about goals. I remember my first year setting goals for my online business (thanks for the mention ), my hubby tried to let me down easy as he didn’t want me disappointed. Afterall I was very ill most of the time (and still am). Funny thing though with written goals you tend to meet them. This year as I again set goals for our new selling venue, ecrater, he apologized for earilier doubt and was happy to congratulate me (us) when we hit one of those goals last month, several months earilier than I expected!

As to future goals, I just balanced my checkbooks and today is bill paying day. One of the things I will be writing is a big check for (and this has been a goal for a long time)to prepay for our propane for the winter. We figure the savings will be about $700 over the course of the winter if fuel prices do what they usually do, but paying that much money up front is scarey, but there is no way that tucking it in the bank to pay on a monthly basis will ever earn us in interest the $700 in savings. One of the reasons it is scarey is my hubby is self-employed, and our income is cobbled together from many small sources, so anything that means writing big checks without knowing how other bills down the road will be handled is hard.

I have found though that more I set money goals and manage to meet them, the easier it is the next time to meet goals for the same type thing.

Wishing everyone success!

My goal for the year is to find a way to re-landscape my yard without spending more than $200.

Thanks for your first year!

I have only one goal for the year and that is to find a job!

My goal is to finish up the little projects that need to be done in order to put our house on the market and hopefully have it sold within the next 12 months. This house is a ‘flip’ for us and after selling it, we’ll be able to pay off a much smaller, less energy-consuming house and live debt-free forEVAH!

Two of my most important financial goals are to finish paying off my car loan & eliminating my student loans, even though I’m still adding to those for the time being.

Thanks for the mention!
