| 30 Day Blogging Challenge PROMPT May 1st Crazy as it may sound, we are now officially 1/3 of the way through 2019. Write about some of your goals and plans for the remainder of the year. What are you looking forward to? 2019 has moved at a break-neck pace for me so I am hardly surprised to find that May 1st marks the 1/3 til over mark. I have set up some goals for myself, but they are more lifestyle changes rather than things that I planned to do before the year is out. I have a few short terms ones though, like hit every day in this blog challenge...even the weekends which have been historically harder to do for me. I plan to ride out the last few events and commitments for my role of Treasurer in my daughter's PTO. I will wrap it all up in a bow and hand the role over to the new victim without seeming too gleeful or ecstatic as I actually feel inside. I am really looking forward to getting that monkey off my back after two LONG, LONG years of service. I have learned several key things from the experience...#1. If you step up to volunteer, no one else ever will. #2. The PTO will not gain you friends or influence so you must take from it only the gratitude of service and the knowledge that you have done your part. #3. Get out before your burn out. Seriously....because it will burn you out especially if you have other responsibilities, like a job, or kids, or a marriage or a pet or a plant! I also started Weight Watchers. It is time, so much so, to shrink my ass and get fitter. My 40-something year old body has been protesting loudly for too long. My goal is to get to an acceptable weight so that I can ride with my sister and my daughter this summer. I have too much respect for those horses to put myself on their backs at my current weight. I'm doing it with my little sister and I feel like that is key, having a partner in the long fight. My sister and I always have each other's backs - who better to keep me from driving off a cliff or eating a donut! So the remainder of this year for me seems to be largely about shedding things...weight, extra responsibilities and lame excuses for not doing the things I want to, and need to do. I am eager to see how my world looks and feels by year's end. |
