My biggest goal

We've all heard of 5 year plans and 10 year plans. And maybe you have even planned one yourself. I know I did. I had a couple goals in my plan; go to college, graduate college, meet the man of my dreams, get married, have a baby. All rather normal goals but also very important goals to me. And I was blessed to have met each goal. I could say, "with flying colors," too. But I won't because...

Here's the problem: I forgot to plan my next 5, 10 years. I must have gotten caught up in loving where I was in each moment. Focusing so deeply on making good grades and achieving a desired GPA, falling in love and planning a wedding, being as healthy as possible for the growing baby inside of me, anticipating my babies long waited arrival and now carrying for her the very best I can.

Which, honestly, I think there is nothing wrong with any of these things because I've learned so much about myself, relationships, love, sacrafice and so many more things.

The biggest question I'm so puzzled by is: where do I go now? What do I do now? I guess I have a few goals in mind. However, I'm not sure they feel as grandiso as my first set of goals. Maybe you can tell me.

My goals:

Everyday: be a good, understanding, loving mother and wife.
Write a blog entry and find time to relax.

Every week: put some money away for savings. Take atleast 1 day off.

Every month: Well, this month is to pack boxes, donate things and organize. (Yeah, were moving again.)

And the biggest goal I've set for myself, so far, is to create revenue from my writing. Maybe that's my 2-5 year plan. I'm confident in this decision, all though I know it is going to take time and effort. Which excites me. Taking the time and effort, to invest myself to make it happen! I know people have their opinions about becoming successful from a hobby. But...BUT, people have done it and people do it every day. And I want to be one of those people. I will be one of those people.

So, there it is. As long as I don't let my fears stand in my way I can do this!

Keep loving.
