Blog Dare ~ Goals for Spring

Today, I joined up with Bloggy Moms and the Blog Dare Challenge.  The idea is for them to offer a prompt for every day of this year (366 days since it's a Leap Year).  Today's prompt asked what our goals for Spring are. Here are mine.

1. Get the enrollment started for school.
2. Find a job, either through the school, or on my own, working with animals.
3. Get us in a better financial situation for when we move this summer.
4. Go through all the boxes and bags packed up in the attic, building and on the back porch so that we know what we have, and what we don't have, for the move.
5. Decide on the area we will move to. (Close to Man-Hide's job, close to the school I will be attending, or close to the shelter where we volunteer)
6. Continue on the medications I've started taking and work on improving myself even more.

This is the short list.  I'm sure if I had more time, I could think of more, but the day has gotten away from me and now it's time to get ready for work.  I'll be back tomorrow though with my answer for the prompt "What I never leave behind on a road trip."

Until next time...love, light and happiness!

Back To Basics

I think a lot of women reach a point in their lives, after the children are grown and off living their own lives, when they take a look around and go “WTF? Is this really my life??”

Well I’ve hit that place.

I’ve been married twice (this time for 16 years), raised a daughter, and done absolutely nothing with my life for myself.

It seems like my whole life has been lived for others. First, for my parents, then for my daughter and two husbands.

Recently, I realized that as I close in on 40, I’m still living my life for others.

My husband now is one of the few people in my life that even comes close to knowing the real me. He’s always known my true dreams. The only thing I ever really wanted to do.

Recently, he’s started pushing me to go after that dream. To pursue my passion. Gotta love him for that.

I guess by now, you’re wondering what my passion is, right?

Animals.

I’ve always been an animal lover. While my friends were dreaming of being astronauts, doctors, presidents, I was dreaming of being a vet.

Unfortunately, the closest college for that is in another state, and we’re not willing to relocate, but 2 of the local technical colleges offer courses to be a vet tech, and that’s good enough for me.

I haven’t enrolled yet since I’m sorting out a few other complications in my life first (like getting our own place again), but I’m hoping to be in the fall classes this year.

Animals will be something I talk about a lot on here. My own (when I get my own place again where I can have them), other people’s, rescues.

School will also be a hot-topic once I get in classes, I’m sure.

I’ll also talk about my past, my husband whom I love endlessly, my daughter, my family and my current dead-end job.

I’m sure I’ll participate in a few memes as well and I might even share some recipes.

All of the things that define who I am, who I’m becoming. All the moments that are redefining my life.

Love, light and happiness…until next time.
