Game over

We all set goals, both long term and short term. For a lot of we try our best to accomplish things with in a year.

What did I do this year? Sometimes it feels like I haven't done anything much. Left over from the family script that needs a re-write. Looking back, I did do things this year. I raised chickens and pups. I have two great girl dogs that are healthy and happy. They are playing in the back yard with the adult dogs right now, and I can have quite to work in the home office.

I have lost about 20 lbs I didn't need this year. In 12 weeks I spent concentrating on my diet and exercise routine. In that time my clothes have gotten quite a bit looser and I have more energy. All the dancing I did helped out with it. In all I have had tons of dance performances. It has helped keep me on track and help push me to work harder and grow as a dancer/performer. I didn't dance these last few months, and if I had scheduled a dance I would not have been able to do a reading this last Sunday. In Hollywood a friend hosts a reading, I put my name in the hat and was the last to read. While dancing is great, writing is my life's work and it felt so great to focus on that.

To that end, I had three articles come out this last year. I took a look at them again today. Its amazing, I don't think about it everyday and sometimes I forget to be happy about that. Of course I worked hard this year at the shop and I helped out my friends with eggs.

This blog is not just to show off and give myself a pat on the back. We all want to feel that we are not wasting time and just letting the years pass. I had a landmark birthday and it didn't feel that great. Sure I still get carded, I just am not where I thought I would be at this age. It helps if I can think of the good things I did, and not what didn't happen.

I still have many other goal to work towards, the game is not over!

20lbs, that is so great and your doing it the right way by making life-style changes so that you'll never see those 20 lbs again. Keep up the good work we are all so proud of you!!!
