The List
Permalink  

I found a list yesterday that blew my mind.

I had written it around 1 year ago, and it was a list of the "most important" things that I wanted to achieve. Now everything on the list was something that, at the time, I thought was unobtainable. It was, for me, a pie in the sky "wish list". 

Check out what was on it.

Get my license. Check!!

Quit smoking or at least cut down. (I believe I have been smoke free for...wow, it must be 12 months in May. Wow!!!)

Re-enroll at uni and get degree. (Well, it's in progess).

Find paid work that is outside the house. (Check!)

Rejoin and start selling (for a cosmetic etc company I sell for). Check, actually had a meeting about this yesterday and am organising to do a free fundraiser at my daughter's school, great way to introduce myself to the school community and also cross off the next item on the list...

"get some real live friends".

Now thats inspiring, to realise that somehow in this crazy exhausting emotionally horrific year I actualy accomplished everything on my "impossible" list and went further and did the thing I thought I could never do....moved on without ABF.

Time for a new list I guess!!! I think I'll keep that one though, what a great well timed reminder to remind me to be brave, have faith and just keep doing the next right thing.

Cool.
