Weekly sharing of Goals! Week #24 2024 (Monday 06/10/24 - Sunday 06/16/24)
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.

Rest, regeneration and self-care.
It is okay, and it is needed. If we don't allow ourselves to find ways to rest, regenerate and to have self-care, we can't give what we need to give, whether to others or ourselves.
I have 2 goals this week.
1st, this week I plan to be kind to me, doing self-care, journaling and taking down time.
2nd, to rework my outline for a new class I'm writing on Parenting, Attachment & Trauma. It's a parenting class, but it's going to be for parents who have experienced abuse (whether as a child or adult) or sexual assault, incorporating how to care for yourself while parenting your children. I've looked high and low and haven't found one. The initial outline stretches it to 20 weeks. I want to bring it down to 16 weeks max, though I would prefer 12 weeks. I think if I did a 2 hour class instead of a 1.5 hour class, that would be doable to get it to 12 weeks. I just need to rethink what topics would flow well together and not be too overwhelming together.
Here's to a great week for everyone. We can do this - we can accomplish what we need or what we want, one step at a time, even if the steps take several weeks!
@KristenHR
I hope you had a good week for yourself and your self care. You deserve it for sure! 😀.
You sure got yourself an ambitious project for your parenting and trauma class. Sadly there is so much abuse out there that has to be navigated as we get older and then have to do parenting too. That's an ambitious topic to approach and I get the feeling you are gonna tackle it with all your heart!
It's good that you found a topic in need of a lot more accessible explaining and understanding. I hope you managed a good outline this week. I think this is gonna be an amazing topic for you and thank you so much for trying to help all these people out. That is wonderful 💗
@IsayUncle
Thanks!
Still need to get the second assignment done. Left early from work Friday to go to the polls. Got nothing accomplished over the weekend (aside from cleaning) because I had to keep the pup entertained inside. Too hot for her to play outside.
@Enthenia
You can do it. It's good that you took care of your cleaning, the little/big things have to be done too. It is too bad it's too hot to get outside much, but hopefully you do well on your studies this week.😊
@IsayUncle I know. I just don't like being sidetracked. And with this class, I don't have the time to deviate from the schedule. It's just hard to find that extra time at work what with being swamped and dealing with changing technological hoops we have to jump through. One program we have to use for reports now has to be accessed through the VPN (which slows everything down) when I didn't have to use it the last time.
And, I am expected to do fifty things at the same time and be completely accurate on everything. And I have to agree with everything even when I don't.
I got some of the recommended reading done for the second assignment. The paper I downloaded unfortunately does not have the second portion completed so I can't use it as a reference. I'll try and see if there's another one that I can use but now I have to entertain someone.
@Enthenia
Hey, how'd you make out this week? I'm sorry I wasn't here to give you more support because it sounds like you have a lot on your plate. Almost overwhelming.🙁.
I hope you did well. You have proven, time and time again that you have diligence and perseverance and it seems like this week you needed both of those to push through. I'm confident that you did it but I'm sure it wasn't easy and there's probably more to do. The added heat and then changing up the VPN stuff and probably other stuff combined made things convoluted for you this week. You do your best to get those things sorted you will be back on track soon!
I've also had a load of stuff going on this week so it seems we both are pushing through.
Now that it's Saturday, how'd you make out with things?
@Enthenia
Cleaning and entertaining the pup is a good deal. My sis has a puppy and it keeps her busy!
@KristenHR well the temperature has been twenty degrees over what is ideal for her and she needs at least 90 minutes of activity a day to keep her from getting destructive. During the week when I work, the afternoons/evenings are the only time she can work that energy off.
If I take her out, it's only after six and it's for about ten minutes. Any longer and she gets to breathing hard.
Because of that, I don't have much time for anything else.
@Enthenia
She sounds like she is bursting at the seams with energy! Too bad you don't have a creek where you can let her run in the water to keep her cool while she runs up and down the stream.
It sounds like your work is super swamped and classes on top? Wow. I don't envy you. Sometimes I feel like it's that crazy here, but I don't have to work my cat out for 90 minutes to wear her down. Just 20 at bedtime while she plays fetch with a paper wad. She does think she is a dog. lol
@KristenHR yes it was much quieter with just the cat up until last July. But, the pup was a present that I wasn't expecting from family. She's not as crazy as she was last year but I definitely have to keep her entertained. She's a herding dog so she has a strong desire to keep busy.
@Enthenia
Oh wow. Sounds like a beautiful pup. Big pup! Thanks for sharing. I'd love to see a picture of her if you wanted to share. My cat is my profile pic.
@KristenHR 
She's actually a miniature Australian Shepherd. I don't think I could handle a full-sized version!
The example I had saved had the second part filled in. I just didn't realize it. I have the second part filled in on my paper now but I'm going to refine it a bit more before I submit it.
Just submitted it and it was five days before my target date. Making charts will be next. Will have to do those at home when the dog is asleep...
@Enthenia
WOW... 5 days before target date! 
Even your dog is happy! 😃
@IsayUncle I have a grade but I haven't looked at it yet. I'm going to try to work on the next assignment tomorrow.
