I've Sorely Overestimated My Ability...

One thing I have learned these last 7 months is that I've sorely overestimated my ability to 'press on'. Resolution #3- Lighten up, Press On, Let it go, No Worries, I've got this. - Yeah, something like that.  I had a catchy phrase at one point and can't remember it.  I'm staring at the book I bought two months ago, "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff", and that's the only phrase that comes to my mind now.  So let's address that.  The book... haven't even read one line.  Skimming through it though, leads me to believe it will be perfect for me. You know how some people just have self destructive tendencies.  Yes, I'm one of them.  I'm Jane from the movie '27 Dresses'.  I have a hard time saying no to people.  I want to please everyone and will go to any lengths possible to do so.  Usually to my own detriment. I love people and I love to make them happy but I'm constantly concerned I'm not doing enough or I'm doi

Resolution #2- Get involved as much as I can with Camp Daniel and the booster club. Camp Daniel is a camp for people with disabilities. It's a place where people with disabilities can spend a week of fun and get to hear the message that God loves them and has amazing plans for their lives. Everyone who goes to Camp has their lives changed. It's an incredible place. Right now Camp is being held at Lake Helen until the grounds at Camp Daniel are completed. Money needs to be raised in order for that to happen. That is how the booster club was formed. Tony has asked me to be in charge and we've had two successful banquets. This year I'm able to go to a couple days, each of the 4 weeks of camp to get others involved. I will be there the entire 4th week. This morning I head to one of my favorite places in the world. 

My First Resolution

At the beginning of the year, like so many people, I came up with a list of resolutions.  At the top of the list, was to create a blog so I could document my success and failures.  Well it is now July 9th and I'm just getting to it.  You decide...failure??  Well it is still 2013 and no time like the present to start.  I'm hoping to have fun writing about my accomplishments and lack there of.  Starting 6 months after I should, kind of defines my personality.  I'm a bit of a procrastinator.  Changing that is NOT actually one of my resolutions this year.   So, here we go blog world.  I'm going to give you a try. Resolution #1-Starts right now
