Pretty excited...

So in current news, I think I had the best Christmas ever while at home for the past week and a half. Not to say that it didn't have it's rough spots, but I don't think I have ever seen that much of my family altogether that much, if that makes any sense. I def had some good times with my mom and sisters.
I am excited to be back home and in need of some personal growth/work.
Fun surprise: my friend Nathaniel (from summer camp) stopped by on New Years Eve, quite unexpectedly, we talked for awhile and it was good convo. We ended up talking about relationships and he had said, "Why have a good relationship when you can have a great one?" I thought that was insightful, but more to come later on that one. But, I definitely got some good stuff out of it. Made me think.
Anyhow, these past few mornings I have been reading a book on Time Management so that I can be better at using my time, hence the title. Today it mentioned goals and how we should consistently ask ourselves if what we are doing or pursuing is helping or hindering us to meeting our goals. That, to me, was quite profound. So I made a list of short term goals, just for January through May and I am quite satisfied with them. I am excited to make an "execution" list on how to accomplish them. It really made me appreciate goals and how important they are, because than you know what you are striving for. I've been having a hard time getting motivated to even get out of bed, but now that I have more defined goals, I think I will be much more motivated and hopefully God will bless them. So, I have been more conscious of what I am doing and more aware of when I am wasting time. We only get so much and only God knows the specifics. So...! But I am excited about growth in that area.
Plus I have been really blessed with a good response with my support raising so far. I hope to get more monthly, but special gifts are always welcomed, eh? God is good.
Well, it's been good and I must actually get some work done. But I'll keep you posted, goals, schools, etc. Let me know what's up, eh?
