New ideas, perhaps new goals. We shall see.
Over the last few months Justin and I have basically attempted to establish a sort of set of habits. We haven't been do as well as we'd like. However there are a few things that we have set goals for, and achieved them.
1. We have been walking almost 2 miles a day or more. Mind you that isn't EVERYDAY, but more often than ever before.(Mostly because we have to in order to be able to catch the bus)
2. We have been watching our money closely enough to be able to pay our bills on time. (This is a big one, something we haven't been able to do since we started dating, and something I myself have never been very good at.)
3. We have made strides in making friends. (I have made a few new friends, and Justin is getting a little better at talking to people at work and not feeling like he is constantly being judged.)
I myself I have begun to realize that one of the reasons why I am having so much trouble coming to terms with being so far away from my family. I believe that for most of my life I have concentrated most of my genuine efforts on taking care of and or being there for my family and friends. Being so far away from people that I care about has made me realize that maybe instead of paying so much attention to everyone else's needs I should start paying more attention to my needs. The things that I want the most out life. I think that I need to start setting goals for myself. I want to, and I know its going to be hard.But I think that maybe this is something that I need in order to be okay without the support system of everyone I've known for 15 plus years.
Goals that I want to achieve in the next month:
1. Write every day. Or try to. Stop just fucking thinking about it. And just do it.
2. Start trying new creative ventures. In other words: Sewing, playing the Ukulele that Megpie bought me, painting...
3. Keep cleaning the house when I get home. I try hard to make sure that I do that everyday, but maybe paying more attention to the way the house looks. I want our home to be just that a HOME.
4. Start exercising. Actually exercising and not just walking. Doing arm curls, maybe some yoga.
Those are some lofty goals up there.. Huh? *sigh* I have to start some where. Maybe with just number one.
:)
I will attempt to do that here. ;)
It's time for work now.
