Where to begin...?

Hmmm... I'm not quite sure where to begin. I had the best of intentions before the new year began but they all fell to the wayside. :( The good news is, there's never been a better time than now and I hopefully only have UP to go.

Here's a quick thought that may be encouraging. When I visited Adam in L.A., there was a guy I talked to in the LONG line waiting to check my bag in. He was friendly and super successful in real estate and investments. He said something I really loved, are you ready??? Okay, here goes: "There is no future in the past." That's it. The great thing about setting goals is the feeling of accomplishment and being able to track progress. However, I think we can all agree by tracking our progress (or lack of it sometimes), we can get caught up in what we haven't accomplished and feel pretty crappy which can turn into a downward spiral.

Anyways, here are just a few goals I'm going to try and focus on over through the rest of February:
  • Focus my prayers on others instead of myself and my problems (I do that a lot.)
  • Surprise Adam whether it's putting away his laundry for him, offering a back rub, making a nice meal, etc.
  • Organize office and file loose papers
  • Read one chapter of Get Motivated every other day

Okay, there you have it. I'm not sure I want to reach higher for the moment since this is already a touching the ceiling kind of a stretch. :)

Thanks for contributing to this blog. You all inspire me.

Love ya!

  1. First of all - hooray! She's back!
    Second, you are SO right on the money with your quote and feelings about moving forward instead of focusing on failures.
    Third - great goals! I need to do more praying for others as well. Let me know what surprises you end up doing for Adam - I may have to copy :)
    Love ya sis!
