My no goal year.... (sort of)

I have decided not to set any goals for 2019.  Which doesn't mean I will be sitting on the couch watching HGTV it means smaller goals day by day and week by week.  I am focusing on staying in the moment more and a year is a long time and so so much can change.  WE did set some financial goals.  Lee and I sort of agree and sort of don't.

So I am going to focus on my health both physically and mentally and let things fall where they will fall. 

There are some home projects on my list as well as some books I want to read.  More then anything I want to let go and be more present. 

We are planning a trip to the beach.  There is a trip I will likely have to cancel that I wanted to go on.  But the summer is way to short and money doesn't grow on trees so I had to cut some where. 

My word for the year is "DO".  I am constantly second guessing myself and talking myself out of things.  This year I want to just do it.  If it doesn't work so be it.  But I have to at least step out of my comfort zone.

"DO OR DON'T THERE IS NO TRY"

This week was a Struggle

This has been a tough week. I worked some extra hours which were only five hour shifts but were still were time away from the kids. Kids are at their breaking point and wether or not they know it they need schedules and some stablness. School starts Tuesday and comments about how people hope my kids dont kill their teachers with COVID is neither helpful or accurate. Plus we had a budget meeting after months of no meetings. In which we found out that we had once again over spent in August. Which could have been stopped if we would have known earlier in the month. I sent $1500 to student loans. Andrew turned eight yesterday and I am so thankful for him. He is become such a deep thinker and asks these amazing questions that I don't always have the answers to. The meds have helped slow him down but he is still crazy Andrew. We upped the medications and it was like he was on speed. He couldn't sleep and was kind of zombie like. Then there has been a few moments wher

The one you feed...

A few weeks ago Lee text me this story.  One evening, an elderly cherokee brave told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. he said "my son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. one is evil. it is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. the other is good. it is joy, peace love, hope serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." the grandson though about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "which wolf wins?..." the old cherokee simply replied, "the one that you feed"  One I have heard 100 times but one that I needed at that moment although I didn't know it.  There have been several situations that have happened these past few weeks and I keep thinking of that story and I have to remind myself which wolf I am feeding.
