At the beginning of April I decided to participate in the ultimate blog challenge of 30 posts in 30 days because I like competing with myself and because I felt like I was lazy about getting posts up. I completed a lot of blog starts but not so many finishes and I felt like I wanted to finish some.
I ended up with 26/30 posts (counting this one.) Not so bad. There was a moment last week where I thought “I’m not going to make my goal, I better do a bunch a quick posts.” Then I thought, “why?” The 30 out of 30 was a goal I made up for myself. (It was a should but since shoulds are all made up there is no reason not to change it.) I have had an exceptionally busy two weeks and I decided balance and down time were more important than completing some random blog posts.
I believe this is something for all of us to remember. First, goals are flexible. Yes, it is great to reach a goal but it is about the journey not the destination. Many goals are not meet at all cost goals. Two, taking care of ourselves and finding balance is more important than reaching an arbitrary goal.
Thank you to everyone who read my musings this past month. My hope is I am energized and will post regularly!
Happy May Day Tomorrow.
