Just living is not enough....I want sunshine....
And freedom!
I wanted to share with you this statement I came across when I was shopping in Fat Face recently. They really have some lovely phrases on their price tags & paper bags. It makes for a very positive shopping experience. Mind you, their half price sales make it pretty enjoyable too!
With the summer quickly scurrying past, it made me remember something I learnt in my late teenage years. Life is not a dress rehearsal. It really is a journey to be savoured every step of the way. We get caught up in the hum drum of daily work & chores & it's so easy to forget just how precious every moment is. We worry about tomorrow & dwell on yesterdays problems..all the while missing the special moments happening right before our very eyes. I say 'we'...I'm sure that we are all very aware of these things anyway & certainly don't need me to remind you...I am just putting this out there..it is good for my soul you see!
So I have some goals to achieve (without looking too far ahead!)...
***********************
~ Since christmas I have lost a stone, but I want to lose another 10 lbs before Christmas, to reach my goal weight of 8st 7 lbs ~
~ I am going to have laser eye surgery so I can lose my glasses forever! ~
~ I want to give the children more attention, before they grow up & I feel I've missed it all ~
~ I want to do more homemaking, knitting, baking, growing veg ~
Last of all, I want my husband & I to continue having the wonderful relationship we have, but even better as there is certainly room for improvement !!
**********************
Wish me luck & meanwhile...what are your dreams & goals for the next 6 months ??
I'd love to hear them !! xXx

Great post. It's made me stop and think. Not that I wasn't aware before that I needed to, but it's given me a much-needed reminder. Thank you! xx
I know exactly what you mean - I feel we've been given a second chance at life & when I'm better I'm not going to waste a second!
An inspiring post - hope you're all well xx
Thank you lovelies!

i want to do a burlesque show before the end of the year!
This is such an inspiring post. Today I was just thinking how Summer was almost over which made me a little sad. Thanks for reminding me to live in the sunshine :)
Lovely post.
I would like to have a healthy baby who doesn't appear as early as the last one but can't do much about that.
I'd quite like to spend some quality time with hubby but work means he wont be about much until May 2011.
I guess I need to drum up some plans and get them in action before the end of the year. lol

coo, nothing as exciting as a burlesque show - you go girl! Ahem, my goals are to make my business keep growing, spend more time doing things with the children (hard to blend those two aims sometimes), laugh loads, spend more 'us' time with Davey (hard to blend those two sometimes too!) and to make more things for the house - sewing, knitting, cooking. Golly, I am wiped now! By the way, poor Castle Beach is not looking quite so gorgeous as in the pics o n my blog, more sort of rain washed...sigh x
