Welcome !

Aim for the stars ...... one step at a time!

Journey 9:25 Update 10 am 10:20

I've been to the gym and done my 20 minutes of getting started.  Now for coffee!

I'm having a tough time mentally this morning, feeling scared and inadequate.  But I have my MITs and I'm going to start with #1 and assume that once I get started I'll feel better. 

Have a great week everyone!

Jo

Update 10 am:  I have a feeling I'm going to need to post frequently today, so I'll just edit this one for a while.  Finished MIT #1, bookending a 10 min. break.

10:20 back.  on to MIT #2 (the big one!)

Rick's Weekend Check Out

[DONE] Work with the Kids (chores)
[DONE] Pay URGENT past dues
[DONE] Mail Reports / Invoices
[NOPE] Check In Sunday - Make GROUP if at home

I had a hugely effective Saturday and a zero Sunday. After working hard yesterday I went out with a friend and over did it, and woke up late and missed the group. I told myself I wouldn't drink or smoke last night, and then I did both and feel like crap. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks about the void in my life without my best friend. IT SUCKS! I'll get back on the horse tomorrow and and earn back some much needed self esteem.

Recycler CI 8:25pm EST

Hi Pro Buddies!

I am so glad to be home!!!

While I overall enjoyed the family reunion, it is really good to finally be back home!!! This weekend was Way Too Busy! Sometimes I can pace things better, but Everything was This Weekend Only!!! Aie!

However, the little cousins seem to enjoy the gifts I brought them -- dolls for the girls and children's books for the boys. So that makes it worth it to me.

Tonight: finishing cooking Round 1 of vegetables from my dad's garden, answer e-mail. Try to "unwind" before bed ;)

Have a great night, everyone! :)

Thank you, gals & guys, for being here! :)

wow that was hard

i was wondering around not sure what to do. Nothing urgent. But a to-do list bursting at the seams.

so i picked one and just did it. It was like pulling teeth. I felt like i was going to die.

But, i can report, i did not die. Here i am. In fact, i am encouraged to have gotten something done. So much for trusting my feelings.

Now, i have to do it again...

...20 min reading this site and posting. NOW i will pick an MIT.

...40 min trying to juggle my MITs and family's. Continue trying, in faith, because i feel like it's hopeless...

Oh Clement! I do understand...

the bit about pulling teeth when trying to complete tasks......that is every bit of paper in THE BACKLOG.  The hopless feeling and trying in faith again and again and again....
Perhaps it is somethinfg to do with forward planning and setting priorities.....I seem to get myself in the same situation again and again and again....

Falcon CI Sunday

Hi pro buddies,

I haven't checked in in a while.  Hope everyone has been well, and having a great summer (for those of us in the northern hemisphere!) 

Today I need to:

  • Take a walk
  • Exercise
  • Clean kitchen floor
  • Tidy kitchen and living room for company
  • Clean bathroom
  • Get groceries
  • Make lunches for the week
  • Check to see if I need to do laundry
  • Call restaurant re hours
  • Review paperwork  

That ought to keep me busy enough.  Check in with you all later,

Falcon

Hi everyone. I've been out of town, combination of work and relaxation last week, and I received some amazing insights while away from my own epicenter. Having external structure in my life and work was really good. From now on I'm going to have to impose and rely upon something other than myself much more to do better. Perhaps we can kick some ideas around about about that later. In the meantime:
Today:
(X)morning things
spiritual time
household period
make phone calls
a. brother
b. JS
c. JK
d. SC
