Happy Saturday!!
I have learned that each day of the month is important! In effect, they all count. Just as each calorie or step does.
SO, what are YOUR DREAMS?
What did you want to do when you “grew up”?
What were your interests in 6th to 8th grade? Did you lose sight of them? Why not begin now?!!
What will you do to maximize the use of these next 8️⃣ days to make your dreams come true?
Consider this:
Spending just 10 minutes a day on something you love will total 1-1/2 work weeks a year from now. (More than many of us get as vacation days.)
30 minutes daily = a month of work days yearly
An hour a day: 2 work months
What are your dreams?
A hobby
a novel
a physical goal
social gatherings/make new friends/see old friends
learn a new skill for a new type of job
learn a new language for a dream vacation
surfing
flower arranging
— the possibilities are endless!
What can you do TODAY to get closer to achieving what makes your heart sing?
What will you accomplish in the next 8 days!! Every day counts!! Let us know what lights you up!!
WHY this topic?
Creating the life we always dreamed of becomes part of our Big Why! Motivates us to practice habits & track the things that help us to be healthy — so we have the energy & the health to do what we always dreamed of!!

Plant positive thoughts and nurture them to fruition.
I am in the fortunate position that I am living the dreams I had in my youth.
DH and I worked and planned this all our married life.
Tomorrow we celebrate our 55th wedding anniversary.
We hope to celebrate many more.
Poetry is my passion, creation is one of the my pleasures in my life.
💫✨🌟 May you have a Stellar Saturday 🌟✨💫8 -

@MadisonMolly2017 and @terririchardson112 wat a beautiful profound topic. Love ur poem to bits and also love how u and dh hve chosen to live ur life!!! Hubby and i are hving daily conversations about this as we were both in high pressure stressfull careers that made us so unhappy! I since extended my maternity leave and he quit his job a few weeks ago so we are now living off our savings until he does some soul searching to discover wat he wants to do next. I still hve 8 mths before i go back to work so i will then also hve decisions to make. Doing something u dislike is soul crushing and im so intrigued to hear how others stay happy, content and fufilled in life. Mine atm are weekly massages, a good tv show or podcast, making my bub laugh, drives around our beautiful beach suburb and actively meeting new friends as all my friends live 2.5 hours away. Xo4

Not today but LOTS of exercise. Back to normal on the 27th4
-
Normally Saturdays would be a rest day for recovery but considering how my overall workout load has shifted downward with no running I don't think a total rest day is required or wise right now. I took a nice, long, leisurely walk this morning observing the change from sights and sounds of night time on the trails to those of morning before the kids got up.

Dreams growing upI was blessed to grow up to do what I always wanted to be when I grew up, quite fringe geek for 6th-8th graders in the early 80s, making computers work for people. From hardware, networking, software and databases to get the task done, I've done a great deal of it. I'm still in that field, but things are not quite as satisfying as they once were. At this point I suppose I basically just compose data streams together for folks as a living. I still prefer building new things from scratch, but I'm not a visionary with the next great tech idea in my mind, so I'm not making anything. It's all been done at this point, it seems!
Future...left blank for now. Lots going on and not sure how to prepare any more than just getting to each new day and new challenges.2 -

@MadisonMolly2017 when I was in 6th grade, I had the most important teacher of my life, Mr Rhoades. He would read books aloud; challenged us to read and to write creatively.
One time he asks to write something to our future adult selves-to-be. I wrote a letter to me that asked that I not let die the child-side of then-me and to become someone that my 6th grade self would enjoy being with.
That has been an important encouragement to me as an adult. I love to laugh with others and to be an encouragement to them.
Thanks for asking!

Big day on the farm! Mighty hot too!

Tracking: good
Calories: under my limit but a delicious day too5 -
Yes, yes, and yes, though exercise was limited.
Heading off for a few days of vacation in the morning, driving to Oregon. Not sure how I will do there, but will try. I am way over on pass days already, so no WC, no matter what.4 -
Did I exercise 20 minutes? Yes, went canoeing with my husband for 2.5 hours
Did I eat within my calories? Yes
Did I track everything? Yes
Freggie servings - 2
Topic today is very thought provoking. My husband and I drove out to the mountains for our canoe trip today and we talked a lot about the future and some things we may want to do differently.
I too like @donna25trinity mentioned find my career and work life extremely stressful and "soul crushing" can be how it feels at times. Then at other times, I am simply just thankful for the lifestyle it affords me. But then I get caught up in a bit of a loop...
Anyway, am I living my dream career wise? No. But I don't know what that dream is. I have no suggestion for what could be better, and in a lot of ways like I said I have a lot to be thankful for, so I've just made peace with that. I have a wonderful husband and a great life and our focus is just on how we are changing our lifestyles to get the most out of the time we have together.6 -

Hey All,
I guess I asked a big question…
I decided I wanted to become really adept/facile at drawing botanicals with an original style in ink over time.
My husband & I are developing a gardening joint hobby & I realized that gives me an excellent place to practice different plants/leaves/flowers over time!
I drew parts of our 25-30 year jade plant this evening with three different types of pens. Not great, but I’ll get there. More than half the battle is really seeing it.
I am going to spend 10 minutes a day drawing plants in my yard this week.
