1. Give all praises and thanks be to God. This is always first and foremost. It is my hope that I truly live the life as a good Christian.
2. Be the good mother. Motherhood is a blessing that I do not take for granted. I was so very blessed to have had a good mother and I hope that I am a good mother.
3. Walking for fitness and wellness. I did my daily walking with my Garmin Vivofit fitness tracker. In most of the 52 weeks in 2016, I met the standard fitness goal of at least 30 minutes on most days of the week. Thanks be to God! I look forward to continuing this vigorous fitness goal.
4. Healthy meal plans. Freshly cooked veggies is the way to go. I enjoy the cooking / chefs shows and have learned how to cook veggies. Fennel, carrots, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, and green beans have been the stars in my kitchen!
5. Rest, relaxation in Las Vegas. I continue my strong enjoyment passion for fabulous Las Vegas.
6. Commitment to quality nursing education. I am a good teacher. I always wanted to be an RN and a teacher. Through the good and loving grace of God, I have been blessed to be a nurse educator for many years. I dedicate a lot of time to developing fine quality lesson plans.Hence, I proudly strut as the "Sage on the Stage", where my goal is for students to learn and be successful registered professional nurses.
7. Actively contribute to the ministry and outreach of FILC. I have a wonderful pastor. I am still so excited about being a deacon today was I was when first appointed and installed.
8. Commit to my personal local recreational activities. I have attended many solo events. I carefully review and select the right venue. 2016 was great and I plan to do more. If I waited for others, I would NEVER have any type of social life. I plan to do everything solo in 2017. I am not really up to the fiasco of planning for others. I just do me. And I am happy.
2017 Solo Plans: Chicago Auto Show, Loyola alumni events, Chicago Wine fest, other appropriate wine and craft beer events, theater and much much more!!!!
9. Continue my social media soapbox. I just love espousing my personal views on Facebook. But, I do this on my OWN Timeline and within my closed groups. Planet Janet is outrageous. Lots of good, tolerant members are there. I thank them for their membership. I will also continue to perform my reviews of retailers. Social media is an excellent venue to do this. But, I am very careful. I have my rules. My goal is to avoid giving poor reviews. A retailer has to be very lousy in order to get a poor review from me. I back up all of my truthful findings. I do not allow myself to be bribed. But. I believe in atonement. Actually, all of my reviews for 2016 were pretty good. I also read reviews and I avoid patronage to venues with poor reviews.
10. Remain supportive of my preferred charities. My accountant advised me to be supportive of my church 40 years go. I have been an obedient client for 40 years.
Happy New Year!!!!
