Goals

Some know.. Some don’t..I’ve been through a fairly bumpy roller coaster ride over the past three years.. Frankly, since about 2001..but A LOT has happened in just the last 3 years..
Due to this “ride” I’m setting some goals for myself as I now move up and onward. There are a variety of them but 3 main ones to co-inside with the 3 years and my love of odd numbers =)

1. Learn
From mistakes..because frankly I believe that is why we make them as human beings to learn from them.
From the nonmistakes..because not everything I do is a mistake. I’ve done some good things in this ol’life of mine and I can learn from those as well
And Just learning.. I crave knowledge and I love it. I believe you never stop growing so you can really never stop learning..it makes you better.

2. Heal
The woman who wrote one of my most favorite books in the world is Margaret Mitchell. She once said, “I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken - and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.”
So when I say heal.. I don’t actually mean picking up pieces and gluing them back together or getting over something or someone. Healing goes hand in hand with learning.. The scars from life are what make us stronger, build character, get us to where we are going. I own my scars, no one can take them away from me. But scars, imply healing.. there was a wound there but it has gotten better.. what’s left is there to remind you of what happened.

3. Rebuild
This one should take the rest of my life.. and I am perfectly ok with this. Every day is a building block, and while we are not guaranteed a tomorrow, if and when I get mine I plan on doing what I can with it. So, rebuilding..my relationship with God, my family, my friends.. that’s the plan..
