My Least Favorite Goal by Lynn Lovegreen

 I don’t write traditional resolutions anymore, but I do give myself a personal watchword for the year. Last year’s was Time, as in think carefully about how I spend my time. This year, I’m thinking of Grace, as in a disposition to show kindness or compassion.And I make writing/career goals. This year, my least favorite goal is updating my website. I like my website (

2024 Resolutions

Goals for the new year by Paty Jager

Well, I'm off to a good start of 2024! I forgot today was the first Monday of the month. My day to post until I woke up and my calendar said I was up on RTG blog. I have always been a proponent of goals over resolutions.
