Possible new Blog for Wednesdays...

We can share what we are working on or something that we want to work on.

Can be anything- skid, bio, SO, family, in law, friend related.

Something around the house.

Something about ourselves.

It might be a good forum to write down some things we would like to work on. I know when I write it out, I hold myself more accountable. Also to get some feedback and support.

So anyone have anything they want to share?

I'm just really working on the emotional aspects of being healthy. I have taken on a lot right now and have been feeling a little overwhelmed. Looking at my May and June Calendar, I don't have one weekend without commitments and I have 3 week nights in the two months without commitments. I'm just trying to take it all one step at a time and accomplish one thing before I start stressing over the next.

My calendar sounds a lot like yours! Even fun social events can be stressful when they're all the time and you have little downtime. One day at a time! Smile

Exactly! A lot of it is fun stuff, baby showers/wedding showers/graduations etc. It's just a lot and I have taken on a lot in planning some of them. Add four kids in sports along with just school ending/summer camps starting meh... overwhelming, good think I'm organized otherwise I would lose my mind

I'm working on trying not to become frustrated when SS15 says he'll do better in school, do better with his hygiene, do better with being honest...and then doesn't deliver. The past three years have taught me that he'll put forth the effort for exactly three days, then bomb. I'm trying not to be disappointed when he does, because I know it will happen. (Not that I ever let on to him that I expect him to fail.)

I'm working on NOT asking God to bring Karma down on BM even though she deserves it. IDK, I feel like it's bad Karma for me to ask that!

I'm working on sorting through issues I've had in past relationships so I stop getting these flashes of PTSD.

I'm working on improving my speed and endurance so I can really kick ass in my martial art and hopefully win gold medals in all events this fall.

I am working on letting go of fear. I have been stuck in an unhappy place as far as work goes for way too long. Responsibilities don't allow me to just up and quit, but I have decided to try and start doing what I enjoy. I love throwing parties. I have been told MANY times, by MANY people that I should do event planning. So....I decided to make some postcards, put them in a few local businesses in the area and see if I can get a gig or two to get my feet wet.

I am also working on getting rid of clutter. I am praying for warm weather soon so I can tackle some major messes in our garage and laundry room. Need a HUGE garage sale to unload some of this stuff we have accumulated.

I am working on acceptance. Accepting that things are what they are. Life is a rollercoaster, with twists and turns and highs and lows but nothing is sweeter than life itself. The alternative is not very appealing, so with that in mind, I am working on accepting that things may not always go the way I'd wish they would go, but I won't ever be defeated and the Universe can knock me down 7 times and I will get up 8.

Mairin - I drive everyone crazy too! I get very frenetic when hosting an event. Everything needs to be PERFECT and done WAY before guests start arriving. I make lists, beyond lists and more lists on top of that.
Even game night is a big deal.
I am making the cards up now on Vistaprint. Trying to get them to look very appealing & pretty.

I am working on my self esteem. Oddly being with DH and dealing with the skid b.s. has made me feel very insecure.

I am working on my inner peace. Just being Okay with how things are and work past the b.s.

I am working on eating healthier and not eating out so much.

I am working on re-organizing my house, and, looking into natural ways to deal w/stress ex. meditation. I am just reading about it so far, and got a tape but have not done it yet (have to get house set first). Also want to lose weight but not sure how to do that yet.

Love the idea of hearing what everyone is doing, goals, etc.!! Smile

I think this is an awesome idea!

I've been working on cleaning out each room of our house. Organizing it too. I can't believe how much crap I've unloaded! I'm also working on focusing on myself and less on Swamp Hole! Smile
