First goal for the year is to drop 250 lbs this an overall long term goal of the year. On a shorter side of this goal i will do weekly goals toward my overall goal I think this will help me not feel overwhelmed by my over all goal.  This weeks goal is to go to gym 3 times and do some stretching every night this week.

Second goal of the year is to save and pay for my wedding. Which we are hoping for the November 1st date. We will be making a decision by the end of January. I am also setting a bi-weekly goal of saving money from my account of min of $50. Of course I will be setting other goals and may mostly likely increase this monetary goal.

Third goal is to get my CCNA cert finished again I will have weekly goals.  To start is to read 2 chapters a week from my books.

Last goal of this year is to work on my photography! I am setting a goal of 35 photos a week to start out with and then edit them to 5 published on my website.

Wish me luck!

1. My first goal I have this year is to take better care of myself.  I am terrible at this. I would more time taking care of everyone else but myself. I need to do this. I am getting old enough where it starting to take a toll. I need to exercise more. I need to eat healthier ( I don’t mean that eat a lot of crap. I just mean I eat too much). I need to write more about my frustration and life.

2. I need to blog more! This kind of goes with 1 but this goal is practicing to write more. I have always been afraid of writing since I was told that I suck at it. You know what, the only way I can get better is to practice. I am committing to posting to the blog once a week.  I don’t know what subject I will talk about I will just write what is on my mind at the time.

3. Taking more photos, I need to practice this also. I love photography and I would like to do more of this art. I don’t really have an excuse now since I have nice point and shoot camera. This way I can try and collect some ideas and also share my life with everyone.

4.  Get out more.

5. Continue to work with PCA and ASC community. It has been such a wonderful experience to explore and grow spiritually.

6. Reconnect to friends. I miss my best friend Allison. We haven’t been talking or hanging out much for the past few years. I really miss that.

I am going to stop here since it is getting late, but I will keep updated on these goal and most likely add more done the road.

Thursday night last week was the introduction night for Mens PCA at Starhouse. It was informative night for what the program entails and about myself. I know I have a lot of things I need to workout spiritual and physical. I knew this program could have possibilities of helping my way on my spiritual path. I know no longer have any doubts it would. I want the join this program badly but I don’t know if I will be able to at least this year.

I have done a lot of reflecting about the process I went through on Thursday of last week. During the summer after I left high school I ended finding myself taking a path of spiritual discovery on my own. It was not a surprising since I had hit a milestone in my life of leaving high school behind. One seems to reflect where you have been and ask where are are going during this time. I was not raised in any religious way but of path of discovery of my own path. Granted I had been given the basic of tools by my family and friends but the discovery, how I used those tools and choices were my own. Now I head toward another mile-stone in life, my 30th birthday. As much I want to and need to do Mens PCA I must wait one more year. I have though taken something from the intro night to help get to the program next year.

Yay! Spring is here! The time the earth wakes up from her winter nap. It’s the rebirth of Tress and Plants in the warm sun light.

What have I done on this day….work! I need to get out more an take photos. I am craving this. I also need to work on my health also. I know these two things can be combined!

Many times on during this time of rebirth I often think about new things to do, things I was to get done. Like my bloging habit I lose it somewhere. I need to be better.

Another thing I have been in deep thoughts about is my goals in photography. Allison went to a talk last week about setting gallery showing and the business of being an artist. So it brought up the question of what my goal level was. It’s something that needed to be asked. Something I needed to think about; something that I will continue to think about.

What are my thoughts on this at this time? I have been thinking about for this for the past 5 days. My Goal is to be serious enough for a high end gallery. I don’t know about museum level. I think that is something I would have to die first for it to happen, but I think high quality end is something that can be achieved.

Spirituality is very importing to me. There are so many forms of it. This is the area I want my photography to focus on. “Pagan” Spirituality, I know this could only mean a starting point. At least I understand and except it as a possibility.

All I really know today is that Spring is HERE!!!
