Good Morning World! Okay I am doing
this. These words that I am about
to write, have been floating around in my mind are going to end up on this page
by the time the day is done. It is
9:39am... I will let you know when the last word it written.
My
world is on the cusp of change. My husband and I have THREE payments left on my
student loans. T-Minus Six weeks
until freedom! With this accomplishment a new world opens up. Since I graduated I have not stopped
living as a student. We scrimp and
save and put all extra money towards this debt. We have lived a very streamlined life; no internet, no tv,
new clothes - what are those? I
have strictly held to the techniques Dave Ramsey’s Finanical Peace University
teaches. I highly recommend it.
Anyways
onto the freedom! With the accomplishment of being debt free in our grasp we
are now imagining new goals! It is funny all of the things on my list, they
remind me of my goals as a child that I never quite got to.
1.
Learn how to take better photos.
2. Get
better at writing.
3. Learn
about graphic design.
This
coincides with my desire to take better photos. Combining colors and weaving them with text and lighting is
a thought that peaks my interest. This is one of those things I will never do
really well, but it is something that I know I can do better.
4. Read more books.
I
don’t mean to just devour books, gobbling up the lettered images. I mean taking my time and trying to
understand the multiple layers intricately written into each chapter. If you knew
me in public school and I asked you to sponsor me for the MS Read-A-Thon then
you will also know that I averaged reading 50 books that week. (no one ever
sponsored me a perbook rate lol)
5. Get back to my piano.
Whew so that is it! Five things... that doesn’t seam like much. However I have a
feeling that this post was the easiest post of this adventure. Next thing on the to do list? Figure
out how I am going to accomplish all of this. Some of them it is simply
managing my time better to sit my butt down at the piano bench. Others I am not
quite sure how to begin. Any
suggestions are welcome.
My goal (what another one?) to keep me on track
with my five objectives is to post each week, relating to something. I hope that I can be that disciplined. I often have the words floating in my
brain but getting them down is another issue.
Enough for today. Type you later!
P.S.
I am typing this last word at 3:06 PM… Three days after starting.
