It's now come down to the final last few days of the year and many of us have squandered our last resolutions. Well....I think I'll pick up and start all over again! :-) Maybe this year I'll be better at it. At least I have this Wisdom Journal to give me some pointers...Thanks! Bless you and yours and God Bless America! Merry Christmas to all! Thank you…great ideas…

As someone who was disabled suddenly and early on, I can tell you disability insurance may save your hide. Alas, I didn't have it at the time (I was a student, plus in total denial about my limits for several years) and I was *lucky* to have my case take only 18 months start to finish. I was told just getting a hearing could take 18 months. Also, I love the idea of paring back your new years resolutions overall. Many more might be accomplished if we were more realistic. Though I'd add that I really like Liz Pulliam Weston's books, too. Deal with Your Debt is the best primer, I think. I definitely agree that people need to think through their insurance.

Breaking them down is really important. Within a few weeks of starting my blog I had set a goal of 1000 visits per day. That seemed really big...and it was. The deadline was December 1, and I didn't make it. But now, Dec 21 I'm at 200 visits/day and I feel like the 1000 impossible goal is tangible. It's really the small steps that count though because to make it to 1000 I felt like my life was going to end. Will I make it by Jan 1...if I don't want to be with the family much during the vacation, yes. But that wouldn't be making "the journey being the reward" since you have to enjoy what you are doing along the way to be able to justify in your mind the final goal that you want to see happen. Keep up those daily blogs Ron, reading peoples' blogs this month has been a tremendous encouragement and has kept me in contact with some of my core values that I tend to forget about when I'm blitzing the building of my site and writing away.
