Patty, that's fantastic news about the gallery, it can only lead to bigger and better things, and must have given your confidence quite a boost. Well deserved too.
re: goals, I have long term goals but they're very vague, too vague to be much use to work towards. My way of getting to them is to forget them and set a lot of short term goals. All my work is about practicing right now, so I do series of small drawings and paintings, most of the series don't have a set time frame but they do have a set number, usually twenty for some reason:
twenty self portraits, twenty hand drawings, twenty eye drawings, twenty mouth drawings, ten (alright sometimes it's ten) still lifes of single objects, etc etc.
The nice thing about it is that as I get further through each series it gives me a push to get a bit further through, working towards the magic number. It also means I'm never stuck for what to draw or paint next!
It perhaps wouldn't work for everyone but it certainly works for me.
