This prompt feels really daunting at the moment. Maybe it's because I don't sit down and make a list of goals for myself anymore. Perhaps that makes this prompt all the more necessary. I think this will be a fairly short and sweet one.
Abide - everything rises and falls on abiding. If I don't have a regular rhythm of sitting with the Lord, it makes it pretty tough to walk out His will.
Keep Gus alive and thriving - it seems to be that parenting a 6-month old really is about keeping him alive more so than anything else. Of course I can help him reach milestones for development, but that's pretty much all my job entails as a mom currently.
Lose the last 10 pounds of baby weight - this is hard to admit, but I gained 50 pounds while pregnant. That's a small child! And Gus only accounted for 6 of those pounds. The last three months were the hardest because my whole body was constantly swollen and the ligaments doing the heavy lifting were failing, so moving around was difficult. In short, the pelvic floor does not get near enough focus like it needs to from an exercise standpoint.
Serve my husband selflessly - I can serve my husband pretty easily, but it's the extra helping of guilt that I like to serve with it that takes away from the selfless piece of this puzzle. I want to do things for him and I am trying to do a better job of having a happy heart in those moments.
Water relationships - this is an exceptionally tough goal for me. I can be a real recluse and I generally enjoy it. However, I've found that I need more human interaction than the few hours at night with Kennedy. I started going to a bible study on Tuesday mornings with a couple of friends - a little more sporadically than I'd like - but I've found myself really looking forward to getting out of the house and seeing new people.
At one point in life, I decided it was a goal of mine to learn how to jump. I made some headway on that goal and maybe one day I can get back to it.
