This week was not the best

to say the least.

But yesterday and today – I did succeed to get some real writing done.

Hopefully – I can get a fresh start next week, and catch up on some of my backlog.



help mom get through this (read all 11 entries…)
We spent a lot of time during the summer

and did some touring together.

It deffinetly improved the relationship.

At the very least – it created a basis to build on.



meditate every day (read all 10 entries…)
back - a little...

I meditated Sunday – and again today (tuesday).

Today, I drifted asleep a little in the middle.

practice, practice, practice…



Make love outdoors in Nature (read all 5 entries…)
It takes 2 to tango

... and she’s not ready for this tango -

yet.



give her an orgasm (read all 8 entries…)
but then again

I realy don’t like the idea of going thru’ life without achieving this!!



give her an orgasm (read all 8 entries…)
I've actually thought of "parking" this goal....

on the one hand – we do have lots of fun, and she genuinly seems to enjoy it and look foward to it – she initiates at least as often as I do…

... and maybe giving up is just what is needed to acheive this goal?

Hell – it worked on the other goal !!



go out on "date nights" with my spouse on a regular basis (read all 8 entries…)
we went on a date

once.

in the summer.

that’s 3 months ago.

not realy “a regular basis”...

we should probably find time to go away w/out the kids before the baby comes – probably our last chance to do so for quite a while…



Add a new entry to each of my goals (read all 4 entries…)
Started this today

and I’m not even half-way there…

... but it is usefull in making some order in “where I’m at, and where I want to be”...



spend more time with my kids (read all 4 entries…)
I think I'm doing more of this

... but there never seems to enough time – deffinitly not enough for 1X1 with each…



avoid trifling conversation
Benjamin Franklin (from the 13 virtues):

“SILENCE: Speak not but what may benifit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation”.

Well said – and easier said than done…



judge a little less and forgive a little more
The world is soooo judgmental

I just want to balance back to the basic recognition of the value of each human being …



eat healthier (read all 8 entries…)
I quick the junk -

No coffee, no cola, no chocolate.

I have to also increase the fruit and vegtables.

Just got myself a Ornish book – only to discover he’s a bit extreme…

Still, good to have this on the list…



Read the Bible
Should do this more

I think I’ll combine this with the meditation!!

“meditative readings?”

Maybe start with the book of proverbs?



meditate every day (read all 10 entries…)
I really want to get back in to this

Need to make some “space” for my thoughts and feelings…

Maybe I should go back to “meditation for dummies”. As silly as this may sound – I’ve found inspiration there in the past…



pray every day (read all 4 entries…)
Doing much better at this

- the trick is to set a routine.

The wife is very supporting – she says it’s clear I’m better off on days that start with prayer.

The BIG one isn’t happening (yet), and the need for change – if only for the sake of change, is growing.
