Accomplishments 1-4

A blog buddy is posting all of her accomplishments daily. Whew! I"m tired just reading it! She has had some ups and downs in the past few years and (like me) has put off dealing with the stuff that accumulates when life is hurtling along and all you can do is run to keep up. She's cleaning and it's inspiring.

In the same vein, but seemingly unrelated, our pastor preached a wonderful sermon today. It too is about life changes that can have an accomplishment attached. I have to get out of my comfort zone...learn to talk to people I don't normally have conversations with. Now that will seem completely impossible to my eldest child --- that there are people I don't know and that I've not already had a conversation with them. HA. He insists that we're one of the last families out of church each week. It's true, I love to talk w/ friends there...but that's NOT what the pastor was emphasizing. SO....

One of my goals to accomplish this week is to talk to someone (not from church) that I do not already know. There. It's in the blog and I have to try.

But back to my blog buddy's list of accomplishments. She's listing her accomplishments, no matter how small. So here goes:

#1) I did NOT nap today. I know Sunday's are good for afternoon naps, but I had stuff to do and I stayed away from the bed.
#2) my youngest child had to make a poster for school. We got it done with time to spare!
#3) I am caught up on laundry. In fact...I did some laundry that had been set aside as the "when I have time and no OTHER laundry" pile. I got two things in that pile taken care of this weekend.
#4) I have taken my injectable medication for almost a week now REGULARLY and that is a TRUE accomplishment.

My goal for this week is 4 more items. Don't know what they will be, but I just want to do a few things that will make me feel like I'm changing for the better.

You go girl! I am proud of you. I wonder who you will talk to? My youngest says I will talk to anyone. Can't wait to find out.
