GOALS

When I took this first picture of the grand children I had a goal of doing it every year but that did not happen  I remember the day Sandra and I took the children to Sears to have this picture taken..  The other picture is of me with my grandmother who I do not remember and that is too bad.  I remember when she died and how very sad my mom was.

Dad and  am pleased that Leah (who is in this picture with Stephen and Oliver) is now in Kamloops staying with her dad and going back to school.  I am praying that she will continue to heal from the pain of her two car accidents as well as emotional problems that she has had to face.

Stephan has a good job but is out of town a lot which is tough for Shawna as they plan for marriage and children.  Oliver, I believe, has moved to Clinton and has a good job with the oil company as well.

I will mention the ones not in the picture.
Tasha lives in Vancouver has one son and is a bus driver.

Theresa and Mickie are married and have two children, Ben and Morgan.  Theresa is fulfilling her goal as a photographer. 

Mary and Michael John were the next to be married and appear to be settling down in Kirchner and are reaching new goals all the time.

Cameron and Shandel married and happily living in Edmonton.  Shandel is an awesome  yogi instructor and Cam works with his dad.

Chris is still single and has a goal I think to find a new girlfriend.  I am praying that his health will improve.

Tyler, Brittany and Hobie live down-under.  They now have new brothers and sisters, Ashley,Jessie, Mathew and Jasmine.  Six children keep Ken and Melina busy as well as both working.

Kim has moved to the Grand Cayman to follow her bliss.  Carol, her mom now works there too and is married to Panteli.

My goal in writing was to say my goals and ask others what are your goals.  I did not mean to write about all this.  But now it is done.

My goals are to enjoy life by walking and reading, spending time with friends and family
I believe that energy comes from my faith and my desire to continue to grow in knowledge and understanding.
I want to be both optimistic but realistic about my health and physical energy.
I am trying to declutter and keep life simple.
I will keep taking my pictures and doing my blog as long as it gives me a sense of purpose and  pleasure.Enjoy life by putting energy into staying positive and helping others.

My goals seem to be to continue to do what I am doing, taking a more critical view of religion but not a judgmental stance. 
Keep a sense of humor and learn from my mistakes.
Appreciate what I have, a wonderful husband and loving family.
Marriage and bringing up children is very hard, exhausting and demanding.
Dad and  I have to continue to work at it.
Definitely to pray more and worry less.
Some goals you reach but others you do not obtain but it is still good to make plans and have goals!

What are your goals
