Birthday Aspirations: Goals for my Thirty-Fifth Year
It's my birthday and I've come up with some things I will aspire to in my 35th year.
The last few years I was pretty stagnant in the whole goal department. My biggest goal was to simply survive my husband's two year tour overseas. Now that my family is once again together I feel much more at peace, and in a way I feel like I've experienced a rebirth. It's like I've been a shadow of myself these last two years and the Nicole I know and love is finally coming back into the light.These last few months have brought fourth many new changes and challenges and I want to take advantage of all the opportunities and experiences that will come my way, but I've also set fourth a few goals for myself for my 35th year.
- Write every day. I've gotten out of the habit of writing daily. This is a travesty I will eliminate completely this year.
- I want to achieve the goal of self publishing something -my goal right now is a short story -but that could turn into a novella if all goes well.
- I have wanted to try Yoga for years. This year I will begin exploring yoga. I think it will really help me to focus and calm down a bit in certain aspects of my life where I tend to be "high-strung".
- I want to learn a new skill. I'm leaning towards the Piano.
- I am an incredibly shy person. As an adult I had to force myself to be outgoing and I've found that my shyness is rearing its head in a HUGE way. I need to put myself out there and really make some new friends.
- Finally, I plan on volunteering some of my time. I've already made arrangements to be a Sunday school teacher in the Fall and I think that will be a great avenue for me.
