    You are so young to have this already figured out. Yea God!

    It's been just in the past year that I've realized my role as a mom has changed dramatically.
    Since I've been a mom since I was 20 this really threw me for a loop.
    I'm looking at this time as an opportunity for more. I do long to leave a legacy, one of encouragement and joy...and hope.
    But I'm 47 and still foggy some days on what I want to be when I grow up...
    oh and now that I know you were a proof reader I need to issue an apology...for my bad grammer, mis-spellings...run on sentances...and careless use of dots... :)
    I'm amazed you come back to my blog! Thank you!!!
    love today~

    I've loved this post since the first time I read it... and I've read it many times : ) I also observed it happens to line up right next to your be intentional button... hmmm, happy coincidence perhaps?

    What I especially admire is that instead of being led by illness and letting that define you, you DECIDED to live your life according to who you were going to be, regardless of disability. Thank you for setting a very powerful example for all of us!

    #6 - Yes this is something that I must try to do. I've been feeling sorry for myself as of late, so I need to go back and read, reread, and reread again... all your posts. Maybe sooner or later...your "spirit" sill rub off on me!
    Thank you for being Intentional In All Things!

    I LOVE your list of goals. It shows what an awesome level minded person you are. Glad to see and know people like you. You're what gives this dingy old world a sparkle.

    Thank you for sharing your list of goals and for being such a powerful example for each of us. Blessings. Susan

    You can definitely check off 6 - spreading joy, which how I feel after reading your blog.

    When our lives change so do our goals, except the important ones, faith and showing kindness towards everyone we meet.

    You have all the important goals covered.



  • gitz · 11 months ago
    You know peeps, I'm just glad after I ramble you all are able to follow it and it means something to you. The fact that you all get it makes coming here every day both worth it and exciting.

    @Robin: I'm not proofing your blog; just absorbing all the fun and joy from it :)

    "to love what i have and not yearn for what a lack"

    Love that!! Thank you.

    I hope I can start with number six--in a good way. (This will mean undoing some of my bad habits)

    You are a deep thinker. I always love reading your posts. I don't think I've ever left your pages without gaining something. Thank you.

  • Louise Knight · 11 months ago
    Thank you for your openness. You never fail to touch me.

    I've decided to go with the word BE.

    Your number 3. And some comments others have made around this during the last week.

    The good and the bad...

    As I read your goals, I was moved and inspired. I realized that THOSE are the types of things I should resolve for my own life. And then I realized that as much as I know this to be true, I'm not yet at a place where I can really embrace those things over lose weight, floss every day, do this, do that, etc.

    Honesty hurts sometimes...

    Inspiration is still good. I'm going to come back to this often.

    On another, lighter note: I love proofreading, too. I guess that makes me odd...but I'm okay with that. :)

    I used to love proofing, too (for the newspaper). I couldn't proof today without a crash refresher course. Sad. I know.

    I really like your goals. They are definitely worthy of attention. I have to say that you come across as a person who really lives them.
