By: Girlie Date: March 18, 2019, 12:57 pm --------------------------------------------------------- I'm feeling a little groovy - as in, I'm starting to feel like I'm finding my own groove. Whereas I've been on the search for something, I'm moving past that and I'm setting personal goals - lots of them - not to be overwhelming, but to give me a lot to focus on, because full plates are better than empty ones. So, with that being said, I'm recommitting to my long-term health and weight loss (I was doing well, but after my last pregnancy, any and all progress that I had made disappeared). I'm also looking forward to starting school and finishing my degree, getting my family's finances on track (SO CLOSE!!), getting my toddler potty-trained, and investing some more time and energy and money into MYSELF. I always put myself last, but I'm beginning to realize that the best way to raise strong women is to set the example for them. So, I plan on making an appointment to add some highlights to my hair and give myself a new cut, get a facial (never done this before, but my skin went nuts with my hormones last year and hasn't improved yet), get a manicure and to make these things regular to-dos for myself if I enjoy them. Also, I'm going to schedule other things I enjoy with my family - trips to the park, long walks, trips to the mountains, etc. We've fallen into such a rut that it's become a disruption if we have to go to Walmart to get extra formula on a Thursday - which is fine with a newborn, but my youngest is now 5 months, and this mama has gotten a terrible case of cabin fever! So, long story short, I'm going to start trying to live each day intentionally. Every day won't be perfect, but each day could be better, and that's what I'm after. :) #Post#: 27831-------------------------------------------------- Re: Excited about Life!

I too have set many of the same goals, but in my case, it's an empty nest :). No more excuses. #Post#: 35351-------------------------------------------------- Re: Excited about Life!
