Entry: Goals Update Tuesday, January 22, 2008



I'm not doing so well on some of my goals.  Namely updating this blog at least once a week.  I'm getting there though.  Getting into a habit takes time and planning.  Every time I get off track I just have to remember to focus again and get back on track. 
Some of my goals are proving easier to accomplish.  I have started my first knitting class and with it my first sweater.  So far I have only had to rip it out once.  The class is nice because it means I don't have to figure everything out for myself.  If I have a question, I can just ask the teacher.  That is a new experience for me. 
I've also been working hard to finish at least one of my unfinished projects this month.  With only a week and a half to go in the month it is a hurry.  Keeping the focus is hard.  December seems like a long ways away.  I still haven't made the bulletin boards yet.  I could have done it this last weekend, but I was having a hard time doing anything.  My biggest obstacle is myself.  I've been dealing with depression most of my life.  Its hard to get much done when just surviving takes so much out of you.  This last year I dealt with a few mild bouts, but nothing major.  I think this year I'm going to have to face it and get some help.  The last few weeks I have been fighting a major crash.  It tends to take my focus off of my goals.  That in turn gets me down more because it the goals look that much further away.  It is a difficult spiral.  This time I am fighting that.  I want to stay focused on my goals and get there sooner rather than later.
