Is it already the end of Week 1?

The good news is, I have actually done one of the assignments from Week 1 every day this week – that is, the list of 5 successes in a day. Things like “I polished a couple of forks.” Yes, when the tines get dark, they need silver polish; so I polished 2 forks. Not bad. Nothing to do with music but it’s the little things we finish that count. How about 15 minutes in the garden. That, too, looks small but is a big deal.
Now onto the bigger challenges for me – the book is open to, and has been open to, page 19 – setting goals. many goals. With those dreaded “BY WHENs”. What about setting deadlines really gets me so upset? I have no problem with (well, not as much of a problem with) creating the goal. But I get this nauseating feeling in the pit of my stomach at just the thought of adding a BY WHEN to the goal – it immobilizes me. I don’t think I can ‘outsource’ my goals. They are not exactly tasks. So perhaps, I will just bookmark this page, write a goal or two, without the dreaded BY WHEN and then move on to Week 2.
Okay. That feels much better. ONWARD!
