I think Kenny Chesney is trying to tell me something . . .
Two mornings in a row, the song, "Live A Little," has come on the radio as I have been speeding to work, a little on the late side. It's got me to thinking (always a dangerous thing, I know).
Well, it is now summer, and more specifically, the very first summer after I successfully graduated from college (I got the email confirming that I checked all the little boxes off!) I want to make it one of the best summer's of my life! Something memorable!
So, as Kenny keeps reminding me, "I need to live a little, have some fun, take some time, waste it on number one." I realize this might sound a little rich coming from a girl who's been to England, Paris, Vegas, etc. . . and yet, now that I'm home from school, everything has kind of . . . stopped. I don't know if that is quite the right word. But, it isn't that I've lost all sight of any goals I have. I still have my list for summer. But, with work being so time consuming (that's retail for you) I've been having trouble finding the motivation to do anything except get up for work.
I think my hint may have taken hold now, however. So, as a living testament to my summer plans: here it is, Blog-style.
Goals:
--Start running again and run in the Harvest Home 5K.
--Start riding again so that I can compete in Horse Shows again (I miss it)
--Write my heart out every chance I can . . . (basically on breaks at work)
--Save money for many things . . . car, travel, books, movies, travel, car . . . apartment eventually
--Spend more time outside (see points one and two as well as just in general)
--Stop sleeping so much and get a move on in life!!!!!!!
Basically these are my goals. I've been feeling a bit stressed lately and I think this is why. I haven't really been able to nail it down until now. Goals, a new direction, something to work towards. I also think, in addition to Mr. Chesney, reading the book Dancing Lessons by Cheryl Burke (the Dancing With the Stars dancer), has helped inspire my motivation again. You CAN accomplish your dreams no matter what, if you work hard at it. This is very important. Of course I knew this already, I just needed a timely reminder.
While this might include waking up well before work time . . . as in sunrise time-ish . . . I can do it! How can I be so sure??? Well, I've done it before. Last summer to be exact. Granted I did go back to sleep after waking up at six, but if I can wake up, then I can most definately keep myself up (especially since I had to work to fall back to sleep anyways).
So, hopefully by/at the end of the summer, one of these blogs will be about how great this summer was (which I'm sure it will be! we have some fun adventures lined up). The list of goals will hopefully be accomplished.
Alright, it's officially posted now (which means I have to stick to it).
Summer . . . .
aaaaaannnnnnnndddddddd . . . . . . . . . GO!!!!
