:) Hello to all of you who will be supporting and encouraging me this month as I meet life's challenges and continue my journey to health and fitness. This is a path best followed with others.

:) The name of the thread is "Women Ages 50+" but all women are welcome. We talk about all sorts of things that impact our personal wellness journeys.

:) Please sign your post with a name or nickname and a location either specific or general to make things more personal and easier to remember.

:) Don't forget to bookmark the thread so you can find it again.

The reason most people fail instead of succeed is that they trade what they want the MOST for what they want at the MOMENT.
<3 Barbie in NW WA

My theme for 2022 is "continue"

    Barbie, thank you for another month!
    Rebecca, I'm so glad that your surgery went well and hope that you have a speedy recovery!
    Katla, I'm so happy that you will be moving so much closer to your hubby! It will be so nice for you to go visit whenever you want instead of having to rely on others to get you there.
    Tracey, so sweet that your grandson is reading to your granddaughter!

    Our three year old granddaughter has started calling me gramma! Well, gamma, but I'll take it! lol I've been mommy, mama, baba and a few others that I can't remember, but when I was leaving after getting them home today, she said "bye gamma!"
    Our grandson and I played a couple of board games today, sorry and trouble. It was fun! He was half watching the tv and I had to keep reminding him when it was his turn, but that's okay. He was sort of sad when I told him I was taking them with me, but I said I would bring them back. The problem with leaving stuff there is that it gets lost, or parts of it get lost. If it's in my car then all the bits will be there when we want to play again!

    My fingers don't seem to want to cooperate tonite, so I think I'll bid you all a good night. It's about that time anyway, need to get my rest in order to contain the three year old again tomorrow! lol
    Hugs for those needing them, congrats to those celebrating and welcome to the newbies!

    Thank you so much Barbie for your steadfast service . I have been in this thread for over ten years! :o It is a very big part of my life and I often dream about one or other of you. Last night I dreamt about Tracey! :D
    DH is still jealous of you all and still thinks some of you must be axe murderers in disguise.

    Lunch today with G. I will be meeting her at Brighton Station. Then we will walk down to the fish restaurant. She might not catch the earlier train because she has a hair appointment, but she will let me know. Either way, she won't be late, but I would like to get there as early as possible for the best table. Oh well.

    Must wash my own hair!

    Lots of Amazon coming today, including the last of the small foodie presents for my son etc, and another thermal, long-sleeved top for me. I'm wearing them 24/7. Lovely!

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    I posted this in January 2022 with the following comment:

    I was struck by the phrase "joy in the waiting" as I feel like most of my life since March 2018 has been waiting. And I'm not known for my patience.

    And I continue to wait.

    But while waiting, a lot has happened this year.


    2022 Goals
    My 2022 goals are a continuation of my 2021 goals.

    Upcoming Appointments
    Education/Career
    Medical
    House
    Office
    Computer
    Garden
    Spiritual
    Fitness/Sports
    Cycling
    Audax Tasmania
    Recreation


    House > Office > Computer become more specific as they go along. I have a number of thing which need to be done in the house (sleeping room, dining room, etc.) but most importantly the home office needs a whole lot of work. And along with that I need to organise the drives on my computer into a better filing system.

    The goal is to have an organised and decluttered house.

    Fitness/Sports > Cycling > Audax Tasmania also become more specific as they go along. There are a number of fitness/sport things I'd like to try, with a focus on cycling, and a large part of my cycling endeavours includes my volunteer work with Audax Tasmania ... and maybe even riding some events again myself!

    The goal it to improve my fitness level.

    Garden is a very small category because that's my husband's domain but I'd like to finish weeding the place and get some flowers and other plants going to choke out the weeds.

    The goal is to have a relaxing and functional area outside for reading, exercise and socialising.

    Medical is mostly my husband's appointments, which I also need to attend because I'm his ears and cognition.

    The goal is to keep him as healthy as he can be.

    Education/Career ... little things like becoming really good at SQL, brushing up on VB, and learning data analysis software.

    The goal is to expand my skillset.


    I've got a new year to work with ... I've got a list of things to chip away at. If I just finish organising the sleeping room. If I just finish the weeding. If I only make a start at organising the files on my computer. If I just start working on things, I've made progress. :)

    At some point this month, I'll likely comment on the progress made on my goals.

    Thank you for our new thread Barbie!
    Welcome December. I can't believe how quickly you've arrived!
    Wish I had some list to follow and post like last month. That was just wonderful. Thank you to whomever shared that. Off to work in my cave. Have a great Thursday.

    Love and Blessings, Carla, in MN
