How I did it: I signed up for a 10K with a little less than two months to prepare. I'm not a strong runner, I occasionally run about 1-1.5 miles and that's it. After signing up, I did "baseline" run to see how far I could jog at a slow pace without stopping. I listened to upbeat music to keep myself going. Then, each time I ran, I made a goal to go a little further, as far as I could go, and then walk. I would run again when I felt that I ready. I… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Had previous years' W-2s, bank statements and pay statements filed away. Had an idea of what the house HAD to have (i.e. detached garage, more than 1 bathroom, etc.). Didn't consider houses that did not meet what HAD to be there. Looked at houses online to ask realtor about as well as the houses he showed. Moved quickly once a decision was made to put an offer on a house, and even though 3 were taken out from under me, kept the under… Read how I did it…
I recently read a book about centenarians and I have altered my goal of wanting to be a healthy, happy 100 years old to a healthy, happy 110 years old. How awesome would it be to live such a long, healthy, happy life?!
Each year, my city has a program they call A Night’s Welcome. This is a shelter program where homeless people travel weekly to different churches for shelter during the colder months. While I work very hard during this program, I want to spend more time truly affecting the heart and soul of those in the program. I want to lift their spirits and help them get out of the program and into a home.
I feel guilty about EVERYTHING it seems. When I’m at home, I feel guilty for being there unless I’m getting something “accomplished”. Then, depending on what it is, I feel guilty for spending time on that task instead of others. I also feel guilty when I tell someone no, that I don’t want to do something. Then, when I choose to do it, I feel guilty when someone else asks me to do something and I have to tell them I already have something to do. I feel guilty for not cleaning, if a library book is late, things that I buy that I don’t necessarily need, things that I get rid of that someone has given to me, etc. One of my goals is to study for a test and I feel guilty devoting time to that goal.
