Weekly sharing of Goals! Week #25 2024 (Monday 06/17/24 - Sunday 06/23/24)
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.

You can do it!
@IsayUncle
I am currently working on my dissertation to finish my PhD. I am at a crossroads, though, because I started back in school to finish my doctorate because of a job I had that would promote me once I finished my degree. The same week I finished my coursework, and only had the dissertation left, I was let go. So now I am struggling to work on the dissertation. Do I really need it anymore?
That being said, I need to finish writing two different parts of what is called a Prospectus: social problem and relevant gap in knowledge and must do that this week.
@lightTree6221
Hi, thanks for shareing. You have a lot of big stuff going on. Whenever there's a big shift or change in the landscape, it takes a little bit of time to rebalance and re-navigate.
In regards to your dissertation, only you know the value of finishing it up. But sometimes we feel better when we clean up the projects we've been working very hard on, Clearing our mind to move forward.
Either way, stay at it because it sounds like you have a lot of forward momentum and that is awesome. You'll get it worked out. Let us know how it goes.😉.
This week's topic is inspired by my personal reflection and situation.
I have been trying hard and have been working hard. Things are going well but the better they go, the more tangled up I get with extra commitments and obligations. Unexpected deterrence's such as emergencies or breakdowns or other things have a way of turning a smooth flow into a bit of a tangled mess.
This is my goal this week..... To try (and try) to get my things untangled. I have four or five customers to schedule effectively and quickly. Plus tons of paperwork and still try to maintain my core balance which is getting out of control. Plus promised favors to be done.
I would love to stay home and get sorted today but I do have a job to go to, so maybe I'll pull on that string a little bit and then come home early and pull on that string a little bit.
@IsayUncle
I believe you can do it - one thread or knot at a time. I wish everything went smoothly in untangling, but unfortunately, sometimes it doesn't. Here's to the smoothest day possible, and the greatest untangling of knots and kinks to be had is coming your way this week!
You've got this.
@KristenHR
Thank you. 😀
@IsayUncle you can do this ❤ it will all turn out ok ❤ helps to untangle you
@Tinywhisper11
I believe it, when u coming over?😁. And thank you!
@IsayUncle that sounds like so much! But just keep working that one thread and eventually you'll get there. In similar situations I try to tell myself it's ok if I can't do it all or it do as well as I'd like.
@SkateComet93
Thank you so much, still-a-tugging! 🤣
I looked at the instructions for the third assignment. Wish they didn't copy and paste from previous classes. It said to do a diagram for my food service software but the previous instructions said to choose anything.
Anyways, the instructions were vague so I'm going to see if there are any real examples of graphs and charts that I can use to create mine when the dog is asleep.
(Here's another snap of her. Took it over the weekend after we came back from playing with her frisbee.)
I actually looked at the grade for the second assignment. Screwed that one up too. Have to redo it. This class is going to kill my overall G.P.A.
And, I can't do the next assignment until I fix the previous one.
Reviewing some articles but they are only giving me broad overviews or pitching their own products so it's not really helpful.
@Enthenia
OH Boy...... I know you're on a timeline for your courses. It's hard to slow down and regroup when you are being pressurized. But you can do this sweetie. You're smart enough to figure it out so don't let fear and frustration waste up your brain space. You got this.
Rethink - redo, a solution will present itself. I can understand your frustration about your GPA but you're already in the deep water so you need to swim like heck. Regroup, Deep breath... Slow down.
Love that picture... A smiling dog. what a beauty. Does she catch and return the frisbees? That's an incredibly good exercise for her! 😛 (panting haha)
@IsayUncle it's just been one of "those" days today. I found a White paper that may be helpful. Have only read a couple of paragraphs.
It's just I have such a small window to do everything every day. And I can't exactly do much at home aside from throwing balls and toys.
@Enthenia
😕Yea, I understand. (((Hugs))).
@IsayUncle I think my original subject was too broad. I found an interesting concept in the white paper I found so I will try to base the assignment off of it. If it works, I can use it for the rest of the assignments.
Completely redid the first paragraph. Reworded the other two paragraphs. Will look over it once more before I submit it again. Hopefully it will be right this time.
@Enthenia
OK, good, goood, gooood! Hope it works too. Winner winner, chicken dinner. 
@IsayUncle Tonight it's salmon.
Resubmitted the second part but had to do the first part over since I narrowed the focus down. Only get three chances per assignment so I'm hoping it's right this time.
@Enthenia
Wheeew! Kind of nerve racking! 😕😨. You're a fighter though so you got this. 
@IsayUncle I think once you do three attempts, you take the average of the three. Don't usually need to use all three tries so I'm not sure. I'm ready for this class to be done but I still have 7 assignments to do...
@Enthenia
For sure! 😓
😁🤣@Enthenia
nom nom, yum yum
@IsayUncle well she has a Hartz boomerang thing that squeaks. It's not quite like the frisbees but she started tearing those. I would get her the nylon ones and she was good at catching them until she decided that tearing them apart was more fun.
She can catch the boomerang but she usually catches it on the rebound because she can squeak it that way. She doesn't bring it back (not a retriever)but she does place it and then I have to get it. She's a herding dog.
@Enthenia
It's just great that you got her running to chase stuff. That's good to use up a lot of energy. A lot better than just walking around the park or something like that. Plus she probably has a lot of fun. 😄. and you too maybe. 😉 (when you're not too tired 😕)
@IsayUncle I learned quite a few months back that she can burn off more energy playing with her toys than me taking her on a mile long walk and to do that with the weather, we'd have to get up at four in the morning on weekends.
And she has more fun with her toys.
@Enthenia
You can do it. and such a beautiful baby! Love the pic
@KristenHR She is a handful for her size. Next month will make a year that I've had her.
I'm going to look at the instructions for assignment 3 again. Actually somewhat caught up at work. Not sure how. Actually I have things to do but I have to wait for my access to a site gets fixed...
I wasn't able to look at the assignment information at work. The few tasks I had left to be extremely tedious. I didn't finish everything and it's all due Monday...
Hi @cloudySummer. Always nice to see you hanging out. 😃
I'm going to try to untangle two bunches of twine this morning and then another during the day.
@IsayUncle I finished it this morning, finally😁
@Tinywhisper11
I LOVE IT!
@IsayUncle ❤😁 thankyou ❤
How's your untangling going??
@Tinywhisper11
Un-Tangling without mangling while jangling, finangling, and angling.... to an endgame hopefully! hahaha. doing ok!😁
@IsayUncle 😮😮😮😮omg! I didn't realise you were doctor Seuss😮😮 can I have your autograph?? I have paper. If you could just sign here on the dotted line please😁
@Tinywhisper11
In the bud I'd nip it, to find pencil with a tippet, I'd gladly sign autograph if you could grip it! Love you!💖
@IsayUncle thankyou doctor Seuss for signing on the line 😁
Whispers quietly so he doesn't hear "hehe! He signed the cheque 🤑 I'm rich"
Thank you ❤😁
Im going to really work on being consistent this week with my mental health apps which theyre usually something i go through at night but if i forget and get too tired i skip and then i dont feel as good mentally the next morning
the apps i use right now are: i am (affirmations), 7cups(this one!), and daylio (a mood tracker)
@yellowSummer8722
That's great! Do that and stick with it, You can do it.
There's a good quote that I like but don't remember exactly but it's about "there's nothing wrong with repeating a good thing"..... aw heck, i gotta go find it.
“There is no harm in repeating a good thing.” Plato
So. I say.... Great Goal!
@yellowSummer8722
P.S.
ALSO, Thanks for shareing the sites. I'm going tp look those up too. 😃
@yellowSummer8722
How's it going?
@IsayUncle
I am currently working on a job training and building rapport with workmates. I'm also trying to practice positivity and gratitude to avoid as much harmful and unnecessary stress as I could.
@fireflyyv
Oh My Goodness.... Those are fantastic goals. It sounds like you really have a structured plan to fit those goals into your general/permanent attitude and life purpose. Thanks for sharing and you surely will become a benefit to those around you. 🤗😊
@IsayUncle
Thank you so much for your kind words ☺️
@IsayUncle In the living room and the kitchen and the bathroom and take the trash out
@tidyPenny2337y meant to type clean was using voice to text
@tidyPenny2337y
All righty..... did you manage it? that was a lot.😬
@tidyPenny2337y
How'd you do?
@KristenHRslow and steady 1/2 kitchen and 1/4 living room
@tidyPenny2337y
Way to go!
@IsayUncle I'm sad, I'm trying not to spiral into deep depression like I did this time last year. But I'm struggling to keep it together, so my goal for the weekend is to try really really hard to keep a routine going and not spiral
@Tinywhisper11
Is that what you have been struggling with when you've been talking about being ill lately? 😢
@IsayUncle yeah😞 but don't worry I'll be ok ❤
@Tinywhisper11 my sons birthday at the end of next month, I always get really sad around this time of my, it sort of triggers lots of things. Last year I went downhill really fast and was realllllyyyy struggling. I don't want to do that this year. So I have to try really hard
@Tinywhisper11
Mmmmmm, That is so understandable. Such profound sadness needs a reaction by nature. Bring All of your beauty to the forefront of your mind. Absorb, observe and see the ugly sadness for what it is. Quiet time does not need to be depression time but of course that is going to happen. Hold it at bay and give it no steam!
You have grown and become beautiful in so many ways, so now, it is your time to let those things overpower the ugliness just by a little itsy bitsy tiny bit so you don't spiral..... OK? Keep trying, don't give in.
I will worry if I want to. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! But I am also so amazingly proud of you. 🤩😁🤗
@IsayUncle ok you can worry, if I can worry about you! Deal? I'm determined to do everything so I won't spiral, poetry has been really helping. But I will never give up ❤❤ I'm only beautiful cause of people like you ❤ I love you ❤
@Tinywhisper11
NO, you are beautiful because you inspire people like me to eat lipstick and mascara pie.
@IsayUncle 😂😂 yes you eat your make-up pie😂😂😂 I'm still determined, I'm still fighting ❤
@Tinywhisper11
There was some wonderful convrsations on Joshua's thread. They were so nice to read!
What did you do today? I worked all day playing in the dirt with my backhoe. Somebody wants me to dig out the hillside so they could put in a root cellar. I am so freaking tired right now and you are already in bed sleeping so I think I'm gonna copycat you.
What do you got on your agenda for tomorrow?
@IsayUncle bleed you, I hope you slept well ❤ first thing on my agenda, is to say hello in your new weekly post 😁 gives you a virtual massarge to ease your aching body🙂
