It is one thing to say that you are going to do a thing and quite another to do it! On Sundays, I try to spend some time with my planner setting goals for the upcoming week. This process typically starts with a review of my 55 in 55 list and an updating of my accountability spreadsheet. After roughly seven weeks of tracking, I have noticed that a bit of a pattern is starting to emerge. It would appear that the things that I am most passionate about, like wine, are the ones in which I am making the most headway. Go figure! For example, over the holidays I had the opportunity to try eight new wines . . . at this pace, I will have completed that line on my list in less than six months!!

Other progress that I have made – I have managed to read a couple poems, discover a couple new singer/song writers that I like, stay in bed a couple of Sundays reading for at least 55 minutes, watch a couple sunrises (and sunsets), enjoy a couple of fires in the fireplace, write a couple of stories for publication, add a new crystal to my collection, and learn a few new Croatian words.
