What do I want?

I've been on a path of thinking negatively again. I constantly think about what I DON'T want versus what I do. And, I constantly think about the things I CAN'T do anymore, or shouldn't, instead of what I can or should.

1. I want to be strong and healthy. Physically.

2. I want to travel.

3. I want to continue to excel in this career I never thought I would have, but somehow am pretty good at.

4. I want to one day complete my dream of being a personal trainer...even if it's just on the weekends...even if it's just being certified.

5. I want to meet new people, and develop meaningful relationships.

6. I want to go back to when Gabby was home every other weekend...instead of not being here any weekend.

7. I want to come home every other Friday, fix my daughter and me dinner. Watch a movie together and spend time with our kitties.

8. I want to pursue my brand of happiness.

9. I want to learn to speak Russian.

10. I want to go back to reading before bed instead of watching TV.

11. I want to find one person to enjoy the rest of my life with.

12. I want to have a nice clean car and apartment.

13. I want to own a home with my family.

14. I want to be closer to my parent's and my sister.

15. I want to have Sunday breakfasts and shopping with my sister.

16. I want to go out and have fun. Not bordom.

17. I want to be a good friend and be there for people. After I've made sure I'm a good friend to myself.

18. I want to be who I am ALL the time. Not hold back. And, not act out in ways I wouldn't normally.

19. I want to be completely self sufficient.

20. I want to continue to believe that not everything is black and white. There is color to the world, and everything and everyone has their nuances.

Knowing what I want is the beginning. And now, doing things to get those things is what I have to concentrate on. Not concentrate on things I can't do. Because I can still do whatever I want, as long as I'm still doing the other things that get me my ultimate goals. No more pissing around. Wasting my life. It's not who I am. It's not the way I was raised. It's never made me happy. I know exactly what makes me happy, so why I continue doing things that don't is beyond me. No over night changes of course. I know better than to think things happen fast and perfectly. I know what hard work is, and I know that people slip up. I know that even with life altering events that make you question your life, you won't change them the very next day. Sometimes you can, but it's hard to break habits. It's a lifetime pursuit. I've never taken the easy route...never wanted to until recently. I almost purposely take the hard road. The lessons you learn are so much more beneficial, and the rewards feel better.

I watched a really disturbing movie today. Karla. Creepy serial killers in the form of "Barbie and Ken". Based on a true story.

FYI

Just so you know...my computer is sitting here, on the floor, next to me...at my parent's house!!! Woo Hoo! I've taken the first step in getting it fixed...but alas, there it sits...I'm not the only slacker in the family! Also, I turn 30 in less than 20 days...

Happy Freakin' New Year

Written January 1, 2021, when I tried to start a Wordpress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. 2020 and I had a love/hate relationship. I hated seeing what was happening to others and the world. I dealt with my fair share of struggles, but mostly, I think I was the closest to contentment that I've ever been. 1. I LOVED working from home MOMO working from home 2. I felt closer to my family 3. I didn't mind the slower pace and less to do 4. I was able to have a better work/life balance 5. I felt more productive at home and at work 6. I did a couple of home projects - helped my parents landscape my front yard, gave my bedroom a makeover with my sister, and reorganized my pantry with her Before After Pantry Makeover Bedroom Makeover 7. I spent the best summer with my son and dogs at my sister'shouse - laughing, crying, painting rocks, getting to know my fur nieces and nephews (Wall-E, Maggie, Leeloo, and funny, little, Peyton who we lost in...
WTF? God, I feel great. I am a typical cancer (please refer back to this ). "At times you will seem to have the greatest love for life, yet at others you can be nothing but a self-pitying mess. You can be pleasant and cheerful, or you can be egotistical and vain." Yep, that's me! So, now comes the part where I have a great love of life. And isn't it sad that it stems from feeling secure that someone likes me? One final down...3 more to go! I can't wait for this semester to be over. It has been really hard. Really it was last Spring semester that was really hard, and almost killed me...and that semester seems to have put me in burnout mode for this past semester. But, next semester is new, and will probably kill me with how busy I'll be since I go back to work full-time in the Spring...but as much as I complain...I like being busy, busy, busy! Off to see Aaron the Beast in a couple of hours. Didn't have time to shave my legs this morning. ...
