create a vision board (read all 5 entries…)
Done 1 week ago

It seems like I can;t get to my homework unless my room is clean and tidy. Today, just when I started, I realized what a mess my bulletin board was. I also realized that there was so much junk on it and none of it was very inspiring so I turned my bulletin board into a vision board. Not a lot on there to tell you the truth, healthy body, nice furniture, house, travel, friends, food, skiing, biking, dancing, University, toastmasters, nice car, career aspirations and a list of 10 goals, pretty much all of those mentioned above. I find that when I solidify goals on a paper or even better a vision board, they tend to happen more quickly.

post secret 3 weeks ago

I read Post Secret every Sunday and no matter which day it is, I am left feeling, just feeling. I often read a secret that makes me smile and think of young love the way I remember it. Some days I remember the angst I felt as a teenager. Sometimes I feel the frustration of divorce, money troubles, self esteem issues, depression and even suicide. But the ones that make me feel the most are those by people who are hurting, who have nobody to turn to and those who are alone, or at least feel that way, like me, and I feel their pain. They often make me cry. I have thought so many times about sending in my secrets and then think that nobody would be interested in them. I might be wrong but I always assume I am right. That hurts just as much.

Being alone SUCKS!

Until the kids move out 4 weeks ago

this is a hopeless goal. That youngest one is not responsible enough to even put a her own dirty glass away, ever.
