Goal Setting: Week of June 19, 2016

Even though it's been a couple weeks (once again) since I set goals, my goals are pretty much the same.  I have yet to accomplish much; we've been busy running errands and going to appointments and such things so life has been busy.  This week is still going to be busy, but hopefully I can squeeze out a couple of accomplishments.  We'll see how that goes.

And as I've come to this realization, I've also had to recognize that part of the reason I am not yet successful is because I've quit so many things.
