2009

Having just completed another item on my "life list" by going to see U2 this past Saturday, I'm feeling somewhat inspired to keep going and achieving some other goals so I can cross them off the list! The hard part is deciding what's next.

Part of me thinks I should focus on the ones which are Supremely important to me...you know the ones that I would feel fantastic about having accomplished if I died tomorrow. Those, unfortunately, also seem to be the hardest to tackle either logistically, financially, or circumstantially right now.

Then the other part of me thinks I should build some momentum by knocking out some of the more easily attained goals.

Perhaps, I'll try a bit of a hybrid of both????

Ok, so it's September 18 today. I am going to give myself until the end of the year to accomplish three more items on my list. So by December 31, 2009 - and then I'll set a new goal for 2010. I'm not sure exactly which three I will do yet but I will let you know as I decide. I'm a little worried since I'll also likely be adding more to the list, so it kind of falls into that one step forward, two steps back scenario but I guess that's somewhat insignificant when you're LIVING! and creating moments!!!!

If anyone would like to join me in this quest to LIVE JUICY, please feel free to jump on the bandwagon!!!

This weekend I am on call and it's literally the only weekend Jessen has off from water polo tournaments until the end of October, so I am hopeful it will be low key. I could use the rest and need to recharge my batteries. I plan on doing some things around the house I've been neglecting and hopefully spending some time outside. Oktoberfest is happening downtown this weekend so it's possible we'll go check that out tomorrow. Sunday afternoon we are going to Ann's to watch the Bengals game, which I could really care less about football, but I'm making guacamole and intend to drink beers so if that's the excuse wrapper I have to put around it to do so, then so be it.

Tonight though, I think I will be pouring myself a big glass of wine, putting on my jammies and curling up in my favorite chair to finish "The Four Loves" by C.S. Lewis.

Or maybe I'll just watch Red Wings pre-season hockey.
