getting out of this rut!

at least mentally getting out of this rut, since I can't physically. I got some great advice from sister, Susan. This is just my practice run right now. I'm supposed to take this time to figure out who I am as a person, what I want for my future, and how do I accomplish that. also, I have to remind myself and thank God for all that I DO have. we have our own apartment now! neither of us are living with our parents anymore!

next I have to start planning goals for myself. short term goals that slowly build towards my long term goal. so, I decided that for my first short term goal: I will have $500 in my savings account by December 31, 2011! it will be extremely difficult for me to accomplish, except that it IS very attainable if I work for it and make my budget more strict with no more irresponsible spending! so that is a goal that I have set for myself so far!

so, here goes nothin! :)
