Motivational Meaderings--Accomplishments

Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.
Author Unknown


It doesn't matter what I have tried to do in my life, I had at some point to make a decision to try it.

I'm sitting here today thinking of all the things I've tried and some I've accomplished.

When I was younger, I wanted to be a writer. I guess that since I'm posting here, I have (somewhat) accomplished that. I am writing on a (somewhat) regular basis. One day, I still hope to write a book, I just haven't made the decision for the correct topic yet.

When I was in high school, I decided to become a teacher. I accomplished that. I taught in high schools for four years. I still teach, at a daycare. I made that decision and accomplished it.

Everyone who has ever done anything, has decided to do it.

I'm not saying that the decision was conscious. It could have been that they just decided NOT to do something else and the accomplishment was from that decision. 

For example, I have a couple friends who are trying to stop smoking. I'm sure they have tried several times in their lives. Right now, they made the decision NOT to smoke. They are accomplishing that... one day at a time.

I've been talking about decision a lot lately; I know. It's just what's on my mind. I'm making some. I need to make some.

I made the decision this morning to list some items on eBay. I'll be doing more of that this evening too, and probably tomorrow, and the next day.... I have a lot of stuff (mostly my old clothes) to get rid of.

I have made the decision to get back into my crafting business too.  I'm going to be putting some of my stuff that I'm making on here. (Now that I have put it out there, I will do it.... no pressure...right?)


My accomplishment goal is to be able to find something I can do to work at home. I, like many others, am tired of working for other people. I'm tired of them telling me what to do and when to do it. So... I have made the decision to try to make my business grow.  (I haven't decided how to do that, yet.... any suggestions??)


So.... here are my questions today:

1. Do you have suggestions for how to grow my crafting business?
2. What accomplishment have you gotten?  What decisions did you have to make to accomplish it?

Weight Update!!

Last week, I didn't weigh myself because I was sick! Plus, I didn't really eat anything much at all last week. I did, however, register for Weight Watchers online. So I did spend time reading up and learning about the program. Today, I got on the scale. Two weeks ago, I weighed 402. Today, I weigh 390! In two weeks, I have lost another 12 lbs. That makes a total of 26 lbs. so far! I'm excited! Yeah, if you look at the previous post about my weight, it says that I started at 412. Yeah... I looked at the paper wrong. I started at 416. I lost 4 lbs the first week. I lost 4 lbs the second week. I lost 6 lbs the third week. Then I didn't weigh in last week. I weighed in today at 12 lbs down! I can tell it mostly in my pants. I HATE for my pants to be baggy, so I buy them to fit! Yesterday, I wore my black dress pants to church and I had to keep pulling them up. I'm going shopping next Sunday with my mom! I'm so happy! Next Sunday is my bday! So.....

Still Learning

Ok...so I'm always learning something new. However, recently, I have seriously been thinking about something. I want to learn to sew. My mom has a sewing machine I can use any time I want to. Of course, if I really learn to sew, I'd want my own sewing machine! ;) Anyways, I have been checking into classes. I have only found one place in my town that does classes. They offer a 4 week class for $115. That's not bad for a class. But, I'm afraid I wouldn't learn in 4 weeks and I'd need to take the class again! lol Anyways, I'm still looking into it. I'd love to learn. I will one day. However, I've seen some REALLY cute things that I'd love to sew for Chasity to wear! :) Until next time........

NC Weather

Image
In the state of NC, we rarely get that BIG SNOW. They used to be more common.  We used to get one huge snow a year.  Now, we are lucky if we get one every 2-3 years.    However, schools are cancelled, delayed, or let out early for weather all the time here.  We haven’t heard anything today about our schools, but we shall see.    It’s all about waiting to see what happens.  Sometimes, I think that God is sitting up there showing us HIS sense of humor.  He lets the weather people tell us whatever they want to tell us.  Then HE decides to have some fun with the weather.  (That’s just my 2 cents!)   Countdown Updates: 0 days until I pick up cookies!  TODAY is the day! They are still calling for “weather,” but they are pushing back the start time to later today. My scheduled pick up time is 6pm. So, we shall see.  It should be fine. Tony is going to drive me there so I’m not having to do it alone.  Then ...
