Welcome 2012


I'm not big on New Year's Resolutions.  Mostly because I never, ever keep them.  This year I've decided to have goals.  And to help me out with this, I've joined a challenge over at Ben Does Life.  It's 12 weeks long and I'm a little scared.

The first week's challenge is this:

~ Write down five quantifiable goals for yourself. (This includes knowing where you're starting)
~ on Monday, do as many push ups as you can.
~ Beginners 120 minutes of exercise this week. Intermediate/Advanced add 30 minutes to your current weekly total.
~ Identify your biggest excuse and write it down.  Then write down ways to eliminate the excuse.
~ Each night before bed, write down four things you did well that day.

WHEW!! When I first read it, I thought "No big deal, I've got this".  Then I started thinking about it.  Five Quantifiable goals? Yikes!! Four things I did WELL?  Ah gee. 

I guess that's what makes it a challenge!!

Happy New Year!

  1. I saw this challenge but only at the last minute. Didn't sign up but I think it is a great idea!

  2. That sounds like a great challenge! And, I like how it's all about evaluating what's going on in your life instead of making "resolutions"! Good luck!!

  3. Hi there, I've just noticed that you are one of my followers but I've never visited you! I'm glad I did ... I am 46 years old and have always dreamed of being able to run (okay, I'll accept a slow jog). I'll now follow along on your journey and hopefully garner some inspiration! Good luck!

COMMENTS CLOSED!!! I'll be back later with a new post to share the winners :) Thanks to all who entered!! ONE WORLD-ONE HEART I'm proud to announce my One world-One heart giveaway!! This is my first year and I think it's way cool! A Whimsical Bohemian is the hostess for this amazing event and I "pirated" the follwing paragraph of info about the event from her: "The original idea behind this giveaway event was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way. 2007 had roughly 85-90 participants and many connections were made because of it......friendships that are still going strong.We had a strong showing the first year for sure, and then in 2008 we had just about tripled that number.This is more than wanting to win something.......that is only the means.....

Dreams...

I have lots of dreams.  They include everything from sheep to road bikes to my dog actually listening to me... I also LOVE to take pictures.  I mean LOVE .  Sometimes I go weeks without taking a single picture. Weird right?  Why not do something I feel that passionately about, everyday? Here are some of my most recent pictures: I live in Wisconsin and feel blessed that there are so many beautiful things for me to take pictures of.  When you're obsessed with barns and farm animals like I am, they're but a country road away! I'm going to slowly try to find myself again.  For the hundredth time.  I am sorry if that is all I write about here on this blog now, but hey - blogs are journals of a sort.  They just happen to be public ;)  Trish
