Edited to add: perhaps there are a few of us out there who need a little motivation to stop, think, and clarify some of our goals. And I’m prepared to share if you are. :)
1) Think about your goals and how you plan to meet them. Baby steps people, baby steps!
2) If you’re willing, post your goals on your blog (or here in the comments below) sometime on Friday.
3) We’ll read each other’s goals and give each other a little helpful support.Anyone game?
This morning, instead of plopping myself in front of the computer right away to check emails and start work I decided to drink my coffee on the front stoop. It was nice, and I wondered why I wasn’t doing that every morning.
Oh yeah! Because I’m usually in my pyjamas!
The girls were watching Dora. The morning sun was shining on my face and I was loving it. It was my duty to absorb as much of it as I possibly could. The forecast is rainy and overcast for the long weekend. Thanks Ernesto!
I’m seriously considering getting a sunlamp. I would love a wall-mounted one so I can a face full of light as I work. Light from the monitor doesn’t count you know. I get so dreary and tired when the sun doesn’t shine. Really, I would be doing everyone a huge favour.
My mind is all over the place this morning. Might as well dump it here.
A heavy workday looms ahead of me. And a few things are weighing me down.
I had coffee with Dani some time ago. We talked about goals. I believe it’s important to have goals and try to meet them rather than trudge aimlessly through the mundane routines of daily life. I have met most of my old goals… they’re outlined on a list I wrote up after Sarah was born. It is still taped to the inside of my closet door, but it’s dated now. So my new goal is to revise my goals. Haha.
I have a couple of doozies on the new list, one in particular is overwhelming, and I don’t know how (or if, the big if) I’m going to achieve it.
I was talking to a friend at the playground yesterday. A lady who I don’t know too well personally but I like and admire very much. I talked to her about my goal. Her response: so why don’t you just do it?
I had a litany of answers, but they could be summed up in two words, or three, depending on whether you include the contraction or not:
I’m afraid.
So there you have it. I’m afraid. And if I continue to be afraid I will never meet this goal and I will eventually end up on my death bed regretting that I didn’t take the necessary steps to at least TRY to do what it is that I want to do.
I have to think about this some more. Back to work. For now.
