REEEEEEE-Start

GOALS

    I have been setting here for nearly 1/2 hour trying to get my ‘muse’ to write this blog. Here goes.

    I made some “Goals’ at the beginning of the year. As expected, I failed. ;) Well, not completely. The point though is this, I'm ready to take shot # 2 at it. Let go through it.

       There are a lot more frowns than smiles. The good news is that i have a very important smiley face. – That's besides ‘Job’. You see, for some reason, “Job” makes a huge difference. When i don't have money/job – i do nothing. I'm serious! I feel bad, i don't go out, i don't want to be social, i don't do my homework like i should. I completely shut down.  I found a scripture today that reminded me of this.

“And the spirit and the body are the soul of man.” – D&C 88:15

     Meaning that the two are inseparably connected. That whenever your body is sick, your mind is affected. When your mind is uneasy, so is your body. For example, my mind is stressed about money, so i lose the desire to form that habits that i need to accomplish my goals. 

     So, why the ReStart? I actually have a small income… i know – crazy right? . The idea is that I am going to open up a checking/savings account at Wells Fargo and start setting aside money. Here is the break down:

70% budgeted daily expenses and the other 30% is broken evenly into tithing, short term savings, and long term savings. Now… if i could only actually get the check, we may be going somewhere with this;)

Short Story

I have been snowboarding a lot lately. A few days ago, i was going up the lift and some how got put on a lift with 2 other girls. The three of us start going up and i start flirting… well, then they take off their ski masks and one is about 30 and the other a little older… defiantly was a long ride up after that…. ;)
