			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.ricehahn.com/images/post_pics/my_gold_watch.jpg" alt="" align="left" />Years ago I decided that once I sold my first book, I&#8217;d reward myself with a gold watch. Life had other ideas. For a number of reasons that I write about elsewhere, my budget realities because of some pesky health issues mean that my dream of that reward hasn&#8217;t yet happened.</p>
<p>So now that it&#8217;s official that Book #19 is a reality, I had my nephew pick up a gold compromise: the lovely gold box of Esther Price dark chocolate candy that you see pictured here. (I know. It&#8217;s a bad nutritional move to reward myself with food. Would you believe that it&#8217;s not the candy inside that I like but the lovely gold box?)</p>
<p>By the way, Book #19 &#8212; the one that I&#8217;m writing now, or am writing when I&#8217;m not working on this or another blog or procrastinating by zoning out to the occasional game of solitaire &#8212; is <em>The Everything Pressure Cooker Cookbook</em>.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve always believed in the <em>going the extra mile</em> work ethic. And, because of that belief, I continue to dream. And revise my goals. Granted, there are now many other things on my Someday List™ that rank higher than a gold watch, many of which are far more expensive than the watch will be when I get it.</p>
<p>But I will get it. Someday™. Somehow. After all, part of that whole <em>going the extra mile</em> work ethic means I also must have a goal setting philosophy that requires that when I dream, I dream big.</p>
