Try not to be alarmed by one of my most recent goals

Goal #1: to start kayaking/ buy a kayak ( which is foreseeable.)

Goal #2: Learn about handguns, including shooting, cleaning, anatomy, and be able to shoot a target.

New Productions

and drama free.

Thankful for Marykate this week and always.

JENNA makes me smile and I'm proud of her graduating BMA

With summer, also comes new adventures. Meeting new people is part of life.

...because forward progress is important.

• caught a snake
• started a new book
• spent family time
• helped my aunt clean up her house in secret
• befriended the sun
• Met a lady down the street and helped her conduct a class and chilled with the ponies and horses. pulled my brain to remember how to tack and all the basic equipment. These horses were so incredibly tolerant of EVERYTHING. She has 36 all together (of course not all of them are so tolerant..it's cute)

The importance of helping others teaches me to give my time up for something productive. Helping someone else can teach or re-teach me something important.

Although frightening sometimes to step out of my comfort zone, it makes me a more well rounded person. Typically, controlled situations don't scare me. something as simple as catching a snake, isn't something I normally do. Because the snake wasnt in a controlled environment I cannot control it as easily either. Doing little things can teach me to let go, because I cannot control everything.

Spending time with most any of my family, and communicating with them in a mature way. I am setting my boundries with them and how I am treated. How refreshing!

I think it is important to keep past learned skills in practice too- like diving into the barn and helping out there. For the first visit, we felt out what I do and do not know, and I was not afraid to say, I am uncomfortable doing this because I do know how exactly how it should be done, but I'm willing to be taught!

okay.. tired. breakfast date with my auntie in the morning.
