Finish Year is a term I copied from Jon Acuff, a Christian blogger who I follow regularly because he is both wise and hilarious! He suggested that we all challenge ourselves to make 2012 a year of finishing things, as opposed to starting new resolutions because let's face it, dreams are great and all, but unfinished dreams accomplish nothing. FINISHING changes your life, if not the world!
So, some friends and I sat down and made our Finish Lists for 2012 and I will share mine. In 2012, I will:
-FINISH my Master's Degree
-FINISH my Clinical Health Psychology Certification
-FINISH a book of index cards that I purchased two years ago for the purpose of filling it with Scripture verses that were meaningful to me. I started, and it's time I finish. But, in order to fill it with Scripture, guess what I have to read? That's right. Scripture. Double bonus on this one!
-FINISH at least one letter to my sponsored child, Karabo in Lesotho, each month.
-FINISH plans for a classification/storage system for my clients' photographs.
Today marks the end of Week 4, so it's time for an update! Here's how I did on each of my goals:
-Finish Master's Degree: I wasn't able to do any work on my thesis this week because my professor has not yet returned it to me with her revisions. I hope to get my second draft back soon so I can make progress on this one because I'm nervous that if I don't get it back soon, I might run out of time to graduate in May.
-Finish Health Psych Cert: Last week was the third week of class and I presented a training lesson to my class on using social stories as a teaching tool to help prevent sexual abuse to people with autism. One more thing off the list toward finishing this class. Feeling good about it, got lots of good feedback from classmates, and I'll get my grade this week.
-Finish Scripture Index Cards: I added one verse this week. Better than last week but I can do better.
-Finish a letter to Karabo: This is a monthly goal, which was completed last week. I am looking forward to writing him a Valentine's letter and telling him about Valentine's Day in America.
-Finish a storage/classification system for clients' photographs: This week, I saved $15 towards the purchase of an external hard drive for my clients' photos! Feeling good about this one! Hope to have the hard drive by May.
All in all, this was an OK week for my finish goals. .
How's it going for everyone else?
