Find Maya and bring her home (read all 23 entries…)
It's been 13 months. 2 months ago

I don’t know when to give up this goal. Or when to move it down on my list. I feel guilty staring into her eyes in the photograph thinking I’ve abandoned trying to find her. I did so much but I feel like a bad person for not trying hard enough. Oh Maya, why didn’t you just get yourself found?



get in shape (read all 10 entries…)
Two years ago, this goal was met. 2 months ago

But I stopped all the running and weight lifting and hiking and now am terribly out of shape again. My weight is 15 pounds higher than it was 2 years ago and I feel yucky. Reading back over how happy I was to be working on this goal really makes me think. What happened to me? I am moving this goal to first place. Higher than finding Maya.

My son in college far far away... 2 months ago

My son will attend his classes.
He will wear a bike helmet.
He will do his homework.
He will avoid harmful substances.
He will have fun and make lifelong friends.
He will ski safely this winter.
He will make good decisions.
We will have a warm and loving reunion at Christmas.
