I can't believe we are in August already! The time has just flown by! I keep meaning to blog, but then time gets away from me. I get to the end of another weekend and I still haven't managed to find the time. There always seems to be so much to do! I don't think I will ever be "done"! I am starting to come to terms with this though. I have come to realise that there is never going to be a day when everything is done, and that is not necessarily a bad thing. It just means that I am always trying to achieve more. I get to one goal, and no sooner have I done that then I set my sights on the next goal. I have learnt that it is a basic human need to progress, and if we are continuing to progress, then how can everything ever be done? What I need to work on is not beating myself up so much when it takes me longer to achieve a goal that I set out to achieve. I need to listen to Krista about rest. I need to make sure that I rest when I need it. I am getting better at it, but I can still improve. When I get down about things not happening as quickly as I would like, I remind myself of how far I have come. Five years ago, I would never have dreamed that I would be where I am today. I need to continue to do things as I have done up until now. One day at a time, one step at a time. It may be a long, slow slog. Sometimes I may go 2 steps forward and 1 step back, but as long as I keep going I CAN NOT fail! I have readjusted my mindset over the last week. I feel different already and I won't even be officially starting on the next part of my journey until Monday morning. Somebody told me the other day that I look different too, which confirmed to me that I have truly found that "enthusiasm" again that Krista mentioned in her second last post. I am refocused and know that by achieving my next goal, exciting things will happen which will begin the start of a whole new chapter for me. I still have a few chapters to go and I am so very excited to see how they unfold. I am so glad I found the time to blog today. I wasn't intending to. It wasn't on my to do list. It has been something I have been meaning to do for a while, but it hadn't crossed my mind to do it today until I sat down at the computer to do some business stuff. However, the very process of composing this post has helped me to affirm even more so that my mind is ready to get started. Exciting things are coming, and I promise to do my very best to keep you up to date! Shari
