I've been thinking about things I did and did not accomplish this year and I was starting to get a little bummed. Last year (or rather earlier this year) in this post, I talked about how I wanted to apply for grad school, push my Etsy sales so that they were half of my yearly income (a very aggressive goal), loose weight, and find a place to show my photos. I didn't accomplish any of that. I also set a goal of reading 50 books this year and I only read 24!
But then I started thinking about the things I did accomplish this year . . .
- I got married and had a mainly handmade wedding (that was absolutely lovely and exactly what I wanted)
- P and I bought a house
- My bags are now not only available in my Etsy store but also in 2 stores! And they're selling!!
- I participated in more craft shows that ever this year and I even helped organize 2 of them
- I'm a leader in the most active Alabama Etsy team that just started in March of this year (and we have BIG plans for 2012)!
- I was the photographer for 2 weddings (both of which were beautiful and great learning experiences)
So while I didn't accomplish the specific things I thought I would, I still accomplished a lot and (I feel like) way more than I intended to. I've already started making plans for 2012 and I know its going to be an even better year!
How did your accomplishments in 2011 compare to the goals you set for yourself?
