Going into May very hopeful :)

 

Here it is, the first of May already.  It is hard for me to grasp that 2022 is already one third complete.  Where does the time go?  I feel sometimes like I blink and an entire month has flown by.  I suppose that is something that comes with age.  When I was a child it felt like time crept by.  Summer took forever to get here.  Now it goes by way to quickly and summer will be here before I know it.  Ah, well.

Well, here it is May and it's time to reevaluate as usual.  I have many hopes for myself this month.  There are lots of things that I want out of life.  Personal things that involve health and happiness.  I'm not going to spell it out right now because I am still looking into all of those things.  I want to eliminate the things in my life that do not bring me joy.  I want to eliminate those things and unintentionally make me feel badly about myself.  I want to take these one at a time and really look at them, explore them, and figure out the best way for me to deal with them.  My daily challenges have been  helpful but I am not holding myself accountable to them like I should.

This is not a bad situation to be in.  I have choices.  I have decisions to make.  There are so many things in my daily life that impact me that I am not really paying attention to and I need to start doing that.  My life will not improve in the way that I want it to if I keep my blinders on.  I recognize that, in some situations, blinders are a good tool for self care but every now and then I need to take them down and reassess their usefulness.  This is going to be one of those months!

I will continue to update these things through my "daily challenge" posts.  No doubt there will be lots of lists involved.  I do love a good list haha!  But it's time for me to really slow down and take my time.  We live in a society of instant gratification and I expect too much too soon.  When I think about how my life was 20, 30 years ago (and it amazes me that I can say that), I realize that the things that meant the most are the things that took time.  These are the things I had to work towards and wait on the results.  I need that kind of experience again.

I have the utmost confidence in myself that I can achieve my goals.  And I thank you ahead of time for your support!

That is all.
