WrightVentures: Goals can change

So, the thing with goals is that they can change and adapt, right?

When I set my goal of blogging every day, I knew it would be difficult, however, I didn't know that I would lose so much sleep over it! The daily blog usually is the last thing I do before heading to bed...thus, this require me to think, find/post pictures, and deal with any technical issues that I may/always have. So, even if I am ready for bed at 9:30 (which is never the case), blogging would keep me up until at least 10.

Don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed this new venture - it helps me reflect, allows me to focus on the positives of my day, and I know many (ok, maybe 4 or 5) people count on me to update!

So, I am not abandoning my goal of blogging each day - this is still the ultimate goal. However, I need to add the disclaimer that my sleep is more important at this stage of my crazy life then spending an extra 1/2 hour every night type-type-typing.

At first, I was disappointed in myself for having to back track on my New Year's goal. However, I am confident now that attempting to blog each day is still a lofty goal that I will do my best to attain. Really, this disappointment was coming down to my fear of failing at anything. So, my new goal is also helping me to have more grace for myself and to realize that my days are full and that I have a lot of other important things going on...blogging falls down the list of priorities. And this is OK. It is ok for me to go to bed without blogging. This does not make me a failure. This makes me a human.

So, I will do my best to continue to blog each day, but I make no promises :)

And so, tonight, I leave you with this picture...
