One of my goals for 2017 is to read and write more, and I don't mean read or write things required for my job. I want to read and write for pleasure. Another goal for 2017, which is also most people's goal, is to exercise more. I have found a way to combine two of my three goals. I had a book on my kindle that I downloaded last summer, hoping to read poolside while the kids swam. Didn't happen. As a member of audible.com, I get one free audio book per month. It just so happened that they had the audio version of the book I already had downloaded. I have never really enjoyed audio books, as I get distracted easily. Last week I decided to try to listen/read my book while walking on the treadmill. It was awesome. I walked/listened/read for an hour while Rylan was at wrestling practice. Problem...solved!
Now on to my goal to write more. As most people know, I like to post on Facebook about my kids, my job, my vacations, my little side business, and anything on my mind. So, technically, I'm already writing. I decided that this blog would be a good way for me to write about things all in one place, and not always on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. I don't know exactly what I will blog about, maybe just musings that I have or inspirational things that have happened to me.
Even if nobody reads my blog at all, it will be a way to get the thoughts out of my head. I am constantly "drafting" things in my head before I post anywhere online. Often, I start a post and it's just too much for social media. This will be my place for my thoughts.
Happy New Year and here's to reaching goals in 2017!!
