i have set a goal to build up my savings,,, and to spend more quality time with my family and friends,,,,, it was going good,, till this last month, when i had unexpected medical expenses and switched jobs and so had a delay in pay,
i have alot of good things in life, relationships etc,, but i am not always financially responsible, i work hard, yet i spend in ways that i have decided do not meet my needs,,,,,, for instance, money for convenience foods instead of saving it for a trip to the beach
but also, i have to balance this with the rest of my life,,,,, in my old job, i often worked day and night,,,, it was meeting my money goal, yet i would go days sometimes without seeing my family, enjoying life,,,, being outside, playing with the dog etc
as to the lengths i will go,,,,,, the first step was changing jobs, it was a hard and scary decision to make,,,, with my new job, i often leave for work at 2 or 3 am, and dont get home till 5 or 6 pm,,,, but i am making more money per hour, and home at night and weekends, but my salary is actually less due to no overtime, less hours etc, so i have to cut corners in other places. Its hard, after sometimes a 12 or 14 hour day,, or longer, to come home, pass up the fast food and takeout places,,,,,, spend time with my family, cook dinner,,, etc,,, knowing i have about 7 or 8 hours till i have to be up for work again,,,,,,, but i am doing it,,,,,

I want to finish my CD & sell it. Keep writing songs and performing. Paint more, show my work more & sell more paintings. Do more landscaping, expand my garden, have stone steps at the front, build steps and a patio at the back. Perhaps finish my basement.
I'd like to lose 10 lbs, to exercise more, be more fit and toned. I want to start hiking again and doing yoga.
I want to spend more time with my boyfriend. To continue to learn about each other and nurture the relationship.
On a more intangible level, I'd also like to be more positive, to stop comparing myself to others, to be happy with who I am...
I guess I better get busy & start working on these things! Only 7 months to go!
