Gathering #17

Whats in a name?

So I am kinda a nerd and love to read my horoscope or find out what is significant about my birthday. Today I found out what my name stands for.

Does it sound like me?

Kimmy

You are smart and curious

You are a seeker of knowledge and you have learned many things in your life.

You are also a keeper of knowledge- meaning you don't spill secrets or gossip.

People sometimes think you are snobby of aloof but you're just to deep in your thoughts to pay attention to them.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot is a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way!

You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're to busy having fun to care.

Gathering #16

It's the little things in life that keep me moving forward.

So far this week has been GREAT!!! And it is the little things that have made it wonderful.

So you may ask yourself how do I have a week as great as Kimmy's well here are the steps

Step 1: I did not have to work on Monday or Tuesday

Step 2: Took my family to The Roof Monday night. We had a wonderful time!

Step 3: Everyone else had to work on Tuesday, I had a house to myself, sat in a chair and read all day long.

Step 4: Found out that my brother is coming home from Africa on MARCH 18!!!

Step 5: Worked out so hard that I came home completely ready for a shower and bed (realizing that I can work out that hard is what makes me the happiest. Thank you Torri!)

Step 6: Realized that I really am the happiest when I spend time with my family.

So ultimately it is Wednesday and this week has already been great.

I think if it gets any better I might just have to cry!

Gathering #15

With all the fog that has rolled in and out of the valley the last little bit it makes me think about what fogs my life. I love fog but it does create some problems. There are some things that fog up my life. I don't ever want to face them, but then there are times that I need to. So just to name a few things that fog up my life. I am selfish. I am usually only thinking about my self, and what I want. I am lazy, I do not like to work.

These are some things that I want to work on. So this week. I am going to work as hard as I can on not thinking of only myself, and of stepping up to what needs to be done and not just waiting for someone else to do it.

Maybe my life will be less foggy if I can work on these 2 weaknesses.

What fogs your life?

Gathering #14

Why do we think that it is fun to work out? I am not sure that I always think through these brillant ideas that flash through my mind.

I like sitting on the couch with a bowl of popcorn and chocolate.

I like drinking my soda pop.

I like thinking that I am OK with the fact that I can eat whatever I want and NEVER work out and nothing will happen.

And then over the holiday season we watched home videos. I don't privilege the world that often of seeing me in a swimming suit. But when you are in Hawaii you kinda need to be in a suit. I DID NOT like what I saw. So I started thinking that I could work out tune up my body and that it would be no big deal. Well I was wrong. I truly hit it hard last night. My trainer kicked my butt within the first 10 min of class and I still had 50 to go. So I made it through class and home and thought nothing of it until this morning. I like being able to move. I can't. Sitting down is a major chore.

Am I crazy?

I feel like I am.

Yesterday I almost died, today I can not move.

I will be OK, until tomorrow.

When I get to do it all over again.

Gathering #13

As 2010 has begun we all take some time to think about what we want to do differently in the New Year. How we are going to better our lives. At work on New Years Eve everyone talked about their resolutions. I told them that I don't make resolutions because by the 5th of January I would have broken my resolutions. But they did get me thinking. So this weekend I thought about what I wanted out of life. I want to be happy. I want to do things that make me happy. I want to spend time with my family. I want to travel and see the world. I want to get in better shape. I want to read more.
So still no resolutions for me. Maybe just some things to think about. I can accomplish my goals to make my life happier. I have added some things to my blog to help me become happier.

#1 I love to read. I have added my reading list. Lets see how many books I can read this year.

#2 I love to travel. I have put my count down of days until I go to Hawaii

#3 I am hoping to write more things that happen in my life, maybe keep me more focused.

Maybe this will help me be more happy. Maybe this will be the way to keep me focused on what really matters. I don't know we will have to wait and see.
