...to shortyriz latest comment! Life in general gets me sooo distracted! “Life” as in “stuff” that just kills time, keeps the calendar moving, ya know what I mean? Right now I’m not focusing on feeling good about myself as much as I should. Whats the point in obtaining goal after goal if inner happiness is not there to truely enjoy it?! I just don’t want my life to be one big checklist…

Love and Peace to you ALL!

I now live in sunny California! I just got my internet hooked back up yesterday and after a month without internet (and only 2 30 minute or less spots of sneaking it from a public place), it feels dang good to be back.

I’ve really missed being active on 43Things. I love the school I went to and wouldn’t change a moment of it, but I was so busy on focusing on a few goals there that I never managed to really focus on myself. It’s time for that to change. Yes, I want to work extra hard and get all my stuff done and watch my career flourish, but I also want to read more and lose weight and have a life that I find relaxing and rewarding in more than just a career oriented way.

One of my goals is to become more active on 43Things and get reintouch with those of you that I’ve missed so much.

I think just being here, in this place that already feels so much like home has made me realize that I need to make me a priority again.

As the school term started for DD8yrs I have envied her laerning curve. This fall I mean to focus more on the simple things that make me happy- breakfast with family, getting to sleep early, a hot bathtub qith scented candles. I have been to overworked and slightly depressed, as the world´s economy seems to be sinking. But Then I watched the jungle book movie, and it was a real eye opener.
Funny how the team that had been dormat is active once again, thanks sisters, I hope we all do very well!!!!!!HAPPY SEPTEMBER

I had my old 43Things account so long and have come so far that it felt full of the past and the path that I’ve come to get here. And now while this sounds like a good thing full of strength and hope… it was just a reminder to me of all the struggles and bumps I’ve hit along the way. It felt more like a list started by someone else. I am the phoenix reborn from it’s ashes as the tattoo on my back illustrates. I started my last account from a different life.

As I’m getting ready to start a new life, with a new man, in a town, in a new career it somehow felt appropriate to me to reboot my account and start with a fresh list and fresh expectations… a seed that I can grow into something most spectacular than I had ever hoped for when I first started this account. I want a new dream to blossom forward.

Saying that, I didn’t want to disregard one of my favorite goals ever. Partially cause I consider you all my 43Things sisters and partially because even a new life filled with hope instead of darkness needs a solid support group to move forward with.

This is shortstack. I have returned.

I haven’t spent much time on 43T in way too long (over a year), and a bumpy year it has been. I have missed the comraderie I found here and the inspiration and encouragement that was shared. I hope to be an active member again and give back some good energy to everyone. :)

There has been much stagnation and pain in the last few months and many times I lost sight of what I really wanted in life as I was just trying to make it through the day. Now I deeply want to refocus on what I want and need (which I think is a common theme for many of us). And one thing 43T helped me to do was keep my goals at the forefront of my mind and make each day matter. So here goes…..

hey LB, thanks for touching base!

Right now trying to battle academic demons and keeping faith for true pure everlasting love (in the human flesh).

I’m focusing on living my life on purpose and really would like to get back to my more organized self….anxiety is kicking in…time for a change

xoxo & blessings to you All!!

I’d love some updates on how people are doing with this goal~!!

I’m working hard to figure out exactly what I want & what my best self really is. That’s a little vague I guess. Right now I am just trying to earn a few dollars, keep being creative & not do what I think others want me to do.

Love to the team.

Hi everyone!
So my progress this year is abit stalling.
The ending of 2008 was sooo promising and hopeful, there was a fluffy airy-ness of optimism in the air. Then January hit and everything turn into a complete and utter chaos. Or so it seems.

My intentions this year was to be in a loving, stable relationship, get into nursing clinicals, purchase my first car…and uh I think those were the main ones. So, manifestation took its course and late Dec./early Jan. I started talking to this nice guy. Mid Jan. came and he had be hospitalized (this selfish, callous person emerges out of me), my coworker/(I thought she considered me a friend), gave me used things as a secret santa gift, which completely disgusted me and overall was disappointed in her.

I dunno, as I rant about what these past months is like, I know I do have ALOT to be thankful for! I am thankful that even though ‘he’ got in an accident, he is doing alright, I’m thankful the weeding out of people in my life, ofcourse my family and my God given resilience.

I’m sick like a dog, due to stress and this weather in PA (which I’ll never get use to, being born and raised in the Caribbean). I feel like this is all one big test. Am I being picked on, and pruned to reveal a deeper beauty? It helps looking at life that way when trials come along. Its just sooo tempting to give up…but I’m a fighter, always have been. And besides, I’m curious to see what this particular road will lead to.

Maaany blessing to you all!
w/love <3

Dear team members I am so pruod to be here writing among you. All of your entries this year have been insightful for me. I have just done two year´s worth of paper organizing/shredding trashing and am feeling quite acomplushed. It has been a while y revised those papers and a lot hasd come into my mind about resolutions, lists, and contacts. Most projects I had to abandon due to the fact that my candidate for the presidency din´r win in Mexico. I am kind of envious and hopeful at the same time that the United States has a chance for BIG change. Anyway, I am going to rework the federal projects I had been working on to a small scale clinic, where I work, and make a change into the old bureocratic rutine. I really hope all goes well with you, CHEERS on all your goals, and may be 2009 a really good year for all of you, sincerely, Javiera aka catita72

Awesome idea about the list purge.

Nice way to bring in the new year, with a clear and updated vision of personal goals. I’ve been a member of 43things a while now and haven’t taken the time to really revamp my list. Hopefully doing so would give me the extra umph of encouragement to actually tackle to relative goals.

I hope everyone is having a blessed Holiday!
