CJ Harvey

My Big Goal: To get up at least 3 x a week on or before 7:30am – I am not a morning person! But, my man is and as we are doing a lot of traveling this year, it is imperative I get my butt out of bed earlier to get an early start to beat the crowds and have more time to see/do.

My Other Goals for 2018:

• Downsize – get rid of stuff we don’t need/use in the house, basement, garage and shed – donate, trash it or sell it – to pave the way to our goal of moving in 3-4 years to a smaller home to travel more. Yard work alone eats up 40% of our available time spring through fall.
