2026 Week #2 - Weekly Goal Sharing! (Monday 01/05/25 - Sunday 01/11/26)
I welcome anyone to commit to a goal here today.
But importantly, talk about getting it done..... or why it didn't happen yet.
To praise each other for our efforts and wins.
While supporting each other through trials and setbacks.
And to continue trying and not give up.
Remember:
Every Goal should be considered "Worthy".
Never belittle your achievements and be proud of yourself for your daily accomplishments!
Whether they be Complex or Simple.
Getting out of bed is a good day..... Good job I say!
Share your goals today, for support and encouragement.

Have you ever had an epiphany that made things clearer, better, for you.
If so, Please share it with us, if you'd like to.
I had one this week.
The repetitiveness of just trying to make ends meet and keeping things done has turned into a real drudgery. But I thought I was doing good by keeping up the good fight. The truth was, that most things were very discouraging and I approached them with dread and dismay.
My epiphany was that these tasks are never going to end and I have to do them for the rest of my life. Instead of approaching them discouragement and dread and being dismayed, I decided to change my way of thinking.
I now approach these things with intent, purpose and with fervor.
Same tasks, Better results.... Feeling much better.
@IsayUncle Nice ^-^ 💖
@BlueDarkAurora

@isayuncle It's a new week! I have a really busy week this week (which makes me anxious). I have to go out of town for a medical follow-up appointment. Looking forward to it, but not looking forward to the drive ... My goal is mainly to get through the week. I have some work to do that I cannot do right now but need to get done by Friday. I need to follow up with my client, and work on a contract. I also plan to spend 15 to 30 minutes decluttering my bedroom (This is usually what I do when I'm procrastinating) and 15 to 30 minutes on mail later in the day. I think I will set a timer.
@reservedOwl321
A new week it is. Try not to be anxious, you got this.
I hope your drive and your follow up go well. And that you make it through the rest of the week without a lot of anxiety confusion.
May things go pretty smooth this week, and if they don't, you hunker down, and push through it cause, you can😁.
I'm crawling back into the working world. Ugg. I haven't had any money coming in for a few weeks during the holiday season The cold weather is here and the trucks ain't working and blah blah blah. Time to get back on the horse. I'll be posting less as I get busier, But I'll be keeping an eye on you, so don't get too slack..... 😂
Do well with ur client work. and other chores. remember, little is BIG!
Thanks for looking out for me 😂 I'm sorry you have to go back to a drudgery . I'm glad I had a break, but I am pretty happy to be back at work and into my routine after surgery. And the larger paycheck will be nice. I am just happy to be able to work at all.
I did complete the tasks above except I'm still working on the task I need to complete by Friday. We'll see. I'm not sure if I will choose to do that or be able to sleep this evening because I'm a little short on sleep right now. I had my surgery follow up today. After what they did I should be in a little less pain I hope!
I am probably not going to be posting a lot this month either or next because I tend to be pretty busy especially at the beginning of the month. It has been a really crazy week, but I have no outside appointments tomorrow so far, so I'm planning on getting some work done at work.
Now I need to look into urge surfing.
@reservedOwl321
You sure baited that hook nicely. Right now I have to go look up urge surfing and then I'll come back in respond to the rest of your post. 🤣
@reservedOwl321
Urge Surfing.... That's awesome, thanks for mentioning it. IT FITS, "hand in glove", with exactly what i'm trying to master, changing dread and dispair into intent, purpose and fervor. Another tool for the toolbox of living better. 😀. tanks for looking out for me too! 😉.
Oh, that's really great About completing your tasks. And you still have time to finish up that little bit you didn't get done.
I can understand how it feels good to get back to work, good for you. I hope the less pain is it a reality. It's hard to go through the day with constant pain either here or there and sometimes everywhere. Less Pain is a very welcome guest.
I know I'll miss your input when you can't make it, but I'm the same way. When I'm not working a lot I'd like stay on here get and give encouragement. But when I'm working, Sometimes it gets put in the back seat. But that's OK, Its never out of sight or out of mind and it's always nice to know it's here to help the balance of things sometimes.
Have a great day tomorrow.
So my rent payment finally processed but the app that lets me split the payment still shows it as unpaid. Today is the last day I can use the app without having to pay legal fees (again). Still processing on the deposit from the retirement account. They're experiencing higher call volumes and internet traffic than normal per the notice on their website and when I talked to them on the 29th, they said it could take up to ten days to figure out what went wrong. No email on the $4k contest. My luck is horrible which is precisely why I don't actually gamble.
Got almost $50 again on the games which I will have to use to pay my phone bill when it becomes available. The $50, not the phone bill. Doing some little puzzle games on the one with all the ads. The return rate on that one is less and I have to watch the same ten ads over and over again (sometimes it's what seems like an endless loop--just waiting until I can close the stupid thing) but they claim you can get up to $100 if you complete a hundred tasks. I'm almost at 25. A quarter of the way done and if I get anything, it'll probably be like .15 but it's something. I don't really mind the games, I just don't like all the ads but I know there's no such thing as a free lunch.
Speaking of lunch, I was going to get a couple things at the store but can't now because there were bills which didn't go through until now. I know, I need to get as many outstanding balances paid off as I can. I'd like to do that a lot but I think it would only happen if I could work three jobs at the same time which isn't possible. At least with the games, I can do them while I work. And right now, there's no work to do. I will be behind soon enough so I'm not really complaining about nothing to do.
I do know that I will have to move on this year. It's not really an immediate goal--since I still have to finish my schooling and get certified in things I have no certification in but I don't think it would be wise to go through all that I have to go through at work for another year. I don't care how much money I get because it's not worth the constant strain.
Aand I had to wait at least an hour in the wind because apparently something happened because both buses were extremely late. I never even saw the bus for the street I was on and my connection did a detour. Fortunately it turned back onto its street before my stop. It was either an accident or police action. Those are the only times they do detours.
@Enthenia
Oh My Goodness.... Poor Girl.... 🥹.... So Sorry for you. 💐
@IsayUncle it's just an incident that is typical in my life. I felt bad for the people who wanted to take the other bus or the ones who were on the bus I was and wanted to take the other bus because I have no idea when it showed up. And the ones who were on the bus would have had to walk a mile up to the cross street if they had gotten of where I did (no one else got off though).
Um, I need to check the retirement account although I'm pretty sure of what it will say. Pending.
Sometimes I wish I could start with a clean slate on pretty much everything. Job, obligations, finances, etc.
@Enthenia
For sure!
Sadly, the only thing we can change, is how we deal with all the things we cannot change. 😕
@IsayUncle I tried looking at suggestions for extra income. Most of them I can't do. There was one which did sound good but you'd have to have a good chunk of money to do money market funds and EFT investments. But, how does one get that good chunk of money? That's never really addressed.
And then a lot of the other options called for people more outgoing than I am or skills that I don't have. The skills I do seem to have don't appear to be of any real use and then there's the time factor especially with the job and the fact that I have to use up most of my free time just to stay ahead there.
New reports came in. I looked at the one that caused all the trouble last month. Looked exactly like all the others. Then I looked at the one from December. Not the same. Column names are different and some columns are missing. There is a tab for raw data. It looks like what someone did last month was make a duplicate tab of the raw data, remove certain columns, copy my entries, and then delete the tab that was formatted differently.
But still my fault because I'm not a supervisor...
So now they tell me that it's because I use the high contrast setting that I missed them. I've used high contrast for years and it's only recently that I was "missing" names. And, if I filtered the list to blank entries, wouldn't those names have shown up? Because they were blank entries.
I can't use high contrast at work now which means it's going to hurt my eyes more and I'll get headaches but whatever.
I'm going to try to get as many names out of the way before they come in. And, the faster I can work through that list, the quicker I can get my settings back to normal.
@Enthenia
Hi Enthenia. We haven't heard too much from you the latter part of this week? I'd ask if you're doing OK but I'm afraid that might be a loaded question. 😏☺️ But I really do hope you're doing OK.
@IsayUncle my apologies. Quite a few things happened in the latter part of the week. My parents came for a visit. They weren't able to come last year because my father was recovering from the quintuple bypass surgury. Thursday my father walked with us to the dog area and then he went down the street to get a pizza. On the way back he noticed a diner across the street and decided to take me and my mother there. The dog panicked when I left her behind. We were only gone an hour but the dog was so relieved when I got back.
Friday they stopped by and let the dog out of her crate while I was at work (my mom had a key to the door) and my dad picked me up from work while my mom stayed behind to talk with my brother. They had picked him up along the way. I was told the dog stayed close to my mom the enitre time. I think she remembers that my brother brought her to me and she mistrusts him because of that. She doesn't want to be taken anywhere again. But, she also was wary of my dad (and most animals get along with him) so it might be a gender thing. She was very happy to see me when I got home though.
Saturday they took us to a park. The dog had fun running around. She played with a couple dogs. She doesn't normally do that at home because she's too focused on her ball or her flying ring. It wasn't too crowded either. I was concerned about that because I wasn't sure how she'd take a crowded dog park. Then my parents went to see one of my sisters and then they prepared to go home. Not sure about the second sister. Her birthday was the 9th and I was going to send her a message on FB but I got super tired like I tend to get and fell asleep. It was after midnight when I opened my eyes.
So I waited until the 10th and found that she no longer had a FB profile. Or at least the one she had given me was no longer there. I left her a SMS message but have not heard anything back. My parents didn't say anything and I'm not going to pry. She's the problem child and I had enough stress dealing with her when my mom used to live here.
On the financial side, still waiting for the acknowledgement of termination from my old job. Got other places wanting their money. I was at least able to get some cat food with my dad's help and found that a transfer I had started to get my bank account at least close to positive didn't go through so I did half and half. Half to my bank and half to another account so I was at least able to get groceries for the week. Still no notice about winning any contests.
Holding in there at work. Have one thing due today that I need to write up and then I have to finish up the monthly assignments even though those were just assigned last week.
@Enthenia
Wow u had a lot going on! And do i dare say ... good or at least, ok
I'm really get glad that you had, what sounds like, a quality visit from your parents. They must l*ve you very much.
I wish your finance was better but glad you job was tolerable.
@IsayUncle I agree, every goal should be considered worthy it will help us accomplish it
@yubirna
😀👍For sure, and thanks!
FLIPPING THE SWITCH..... In the brain.... "be conscious and aware".
Feeling; "dread and dispair" (Change this to) "Intent and fervor"
Feeling; "I must procrastinate" (Change this to) "5 - 10 min. meditation and 5 minute start task"
5 steps, to get past "task dread", "chore dispair" and total discouragement.
THINK: In a timely manner: "be conscious and aware"
THINK: In a timely manner: "Do task with Intent and fervor"
ACTION: In a timely manner: "5 - 10 min. meditation and 5 minute start task"
THINK: In a timely manner: "Do task with Intent and fervor"
THINK: In a timely manner: "be conscious and aware"
And then the magic happens.
(FEELING GOOD 😊)
