Well, I promised Dread that I would list my goals for the new year and today I make a start at the list. With the exception of number 1, these are in no particular order. Number one is the path by which I can accomplish the other goals on my journey!
1. First and foremost...Turn off the TV! I have fallen into my husband's habit of having it on for the noise without really watching it, although I am planted in front of it. This is SUCH a waste of time! There is so much I could and would be doing, if I limited my TV viewing to the one or two shows I really want to see.
2. Pay more attention( play, cuddle, and just be with) to my cats. They are always there for me(sometimes whether I want them there or not!) The ask so little of me and I get so much from them...I need to have more quality time with them!
3. Get outside more...go to the park...take day trips to the surrounding parks and recs spots here and around Vegas. I spend entirely too much time inside and in order to be more involved with nature I need to be out actively being IN Nature.
4. Find a class of interest and take it...I am in a rut and I need to expand my comfort zone. Whether it is in an actual classroom, on line, or with a study group, I need to learn new things!
5. I am ready for further studies in Wicca and Paganism in general. I feel the need to pick up again and possibly find a teacher or a group so that I may gain more knowledge and experience. I need to develop the confidence in myself, that I have the power inside to change my life and myself. I believe other people have the power, I know some of my friends do...I have been told I have the power, but self doubt is an insidious unwanted guest. I need to learn totrust myself and look inside for the truth I seek.
6. Be more understanding of my husband and support him more as he follows through on school. (He has a grade point average after a year and a half of 3.75) I am proud of him but I worry soooo much about finances! I will attempt to not worry so much about money and be more enthusiastic about all he shares with me.
7. I will continue to cherish my friends! (This is the easiest!)
8. I will learn to cherish myself! (This is the hardest!)
Well, that is enough for now...my back is still hurting me and I can feel myself getting loopy from the meds I was given. So, there is the major list of goals.
I will be busy this year, especially now that Bell is back in my life. We had a 2 1/2 hour talk last night and it was as if we had never parted. I talked to her son and one daughter and my time sense is all messed up, becuase I still think of them as little children, like the last time I saw them. He has such a deep voice and his mothers skewed sense of humor, and she was just as loving and charming as I remember her as a little girl. I am still thrilled to tears and hopefully will get to see her in March! I can't wait to actually see her and hug her again...it's been too long.
Much love and Brightest Blessings,
