Some of these are repeats from last year, which is pretty self-explanatory I'm sure. But I'll explain anyway- I didn't accomplish them. ha :) Try try again! Also, some are repeats that I want to repeat- like flowers and garden! Coming up with 26 things is hard. Did you notice one of these things is having a baby? I decided that was a big enough item to go on the list :) Also, the 500 miles thing. When I say that, it sounds HUGE. When I think about it in detail, its really not that huge. Do you know how easy it is to walk a mile? Like way easy. I do a mile on the elliptical in about 10 minutes. So if you think of it that way, it's not that far fetched to think about me moving 500 miles. Also, I plan on walking a lot this summer, ALSO I plan on walking a lot with the baby in the bob. I love this list! I think some are super fun ones, some are super productive, some are super spiritual, and some are helping develop my talents. I mean, how much more well-rounded can I get?!
I'm excited!
PS- I still believe in blogging, I do. I like recording things other than pictures and small quick captions. I like expressing my thoughts. This is why I am trying the achievable goal of 52 blog posts, which is trying to be at least once a week. I want to keep this up. It's important to me and my sanity I think.
I'm glad you like blogging. It's has pretty much died as quickly as everyone started doing it. But I'm not gonna stop! It's my thang. I thought it was so funny you put "have a baby" as a goal because it's happening either way- but you are right- quite an acomplishment. It ways out all the rest :) You sound so happy and that makes me happy. I love you.
ReplyDeleteok i have to know this asap- sand and refinish table, do you mean your dining table? if so why? explain! I love the "have a baby" ha. great goals, you have always been great at making and achieving goals. the flowers- oh my gosh- why is it so hard to keep them alive? i did 2 pots and they're all dead except a few randoms, they DID not turn out how the store said they would. UGHHH. Thankgoodness I didn't go crazy and plant all over. But I WANT TO- I would love to have flowers all over but I just feel lik eit's impossible! love you!
ReplyDeleteI love #15, pretty much a guarantee that you'll accomplish that one so I think your off to a good start! And #25 is a must too, we love our ice cream maker - so many flavor combos to try!
ReplyDeleteI have read your blogs and caught up again. I love the 26 things or goals you have for your 26 years. I don't think I could do that anymore because I am too OLD and it would be more than I could get done, let alone think of that many. I think all of your chores are a lot of busy work. I used to bribe the kids with things like going to movies, picnics, shopping , etc if we could just get all of our work done. We always got a lot done that way. Also had a lot of fun. It is rewarding to get a lot done. I sometimes set the timer and work so many minutes, then do something I want to for so many. That works also. I love you and I am so happy for you doing all you do. You are amazing. Hugs love you
ReplyDeleteloved your goals!!! I also believe in blogging. I think when I got sick that I got out of the habit. I want to get back to it for all the reasons you said!
