I've not been at work the past few days and have been sorting through a variety of paperwork dating back over a period of 7 years. This made me feel that life is just passing me by and I'm just spinning the wheels. I'm stuck in a rut and feel like I'm going nowhere fast.
Amongst some of the said mentioned paperwork was a notebook that i bought in February 2006. Inside the front cover I've written "My book of happiness and goals". The first page i introduce the purpose of the book, that I'm going to write a list of all the goals and dreams that i have for the future and write a mini diary. I have 3 pages listing all of the things that i want to do with my life, and i have 2 pages describing how i felt when i found out i was pregnant with my son. That's it. (See first paragraph).
Sorry for rambling but this is going somewhere (I think!)
So this is it, the reason why I suddenly felt the urge to star keeping a blog, I need to prove to myself (and maybe to my kids in years to come) that I am human, that i have hopes and dreams, and that no matter what happens when life throws you lemons it's time to make lemon drizzle cake - yum!
As I've said I'm writing this for me, if anyone else wants to read it they're welcome along but don't expect any literary masterpieces, English was never my best subject I'm a geek till the end!
I think that explains my reasoning, now to get down to the nitty gritty. Out of that 3 page list of dreams written five and a half years ago what have I achieved?
- Buy a House - we moved in the beginning of July 2006
- Have Children - I have an amazing 4 yr old son and a gorgeous 20 month old daughter
- Visit Ireland - spent 2 weeks travelling all over Ireland in May 2006
- Work on-call - started on call in July 2006
- Clear catalogue balance - August 2011 - took a long time but that's a story for another post.
