Don't get me wrong, it's nice not to have to deal with snow and especially ice, but I do miss the white stuff!
It's now the second week of the new year. Have you taken time to consider what you would like to focus on in the upcoming year, or six months, or month? A bit of planning will help you. Some folks do not like to write down plans. I am not one of them. I think that writing plans down briefly, maybe in lists, helps me focus on what I want/need in order to achieve what I want to.
If you feel no need to write down plans, I hope that you will still make a mental list so that by the end of the year, or whatever time frame you have in mind, you will achieve what is important to you.
There's a new question for the week: What are your expectations? It's kind of an open-ended question and you can think about it any way that appeals to you. Right now, I am thinking long term and what my expectations for the next several months. Nope, not the year. I know that those expectations will change.
So what is my main expectation right now? Well, mainly to start organizing for a longer stay here at the current resident. At first, the length of stay was only 6 months, but now it looks like 18 months is more in line with changes expected from other members.
I really don't want to have everything packed up as it is now. But again, I don't think that we need to unpack everything. The trick is to figure out where things are and then perhaps repack. And there are things still packed up from my studio that I really would like to have available.
It's kind of a daunting task, so I have planned several small steps because if I take it all in at once, I will be overwhelmed. So this week, I will unpack three boxes that are stored in my old studio and decide what to do with the contents. I figure if I take small chunks out of the big picture, I can get it done.
So when you think about your expectations, think in small steps even if the expectation is a large one!
That's all for today...
There's also a new thought posted. By the way, if you are reading on a mobile device, you will not see the word for the month, question for the week or thought for the day unless you change to web version (normally at the bottom of the post.)
