Day 8 - Short term goals for this month and why

After injuring my knee and ankle a few months ago, and being sick with asthma last month, my gym routine has gone completely out the window.  My first goal is to get back into routine (gym 4-5 mornings a week).

I'd like to get another paper finished towards my optical dispensing certificate.  The course closes for the year in November.  I haven't been so motivated to get the study done this year, but if I don't complete (and pass) 4 papers this year, I have to pay back the course costs.  If that doesn't motivate me to get my A into G, I'm not sure what will!

My final short term goal for this month, would be to complete this blog challenge.  The reason I've never blogged before was that I don't feel like I've got anything interesting to say, and that I'm not a natural or skilled writer.  But, if this challenge has taught me anything, it's not really about that at all.  I'm learning more about myself as I ponder each topic.  I'm probing deeper into my thoughts and feelings, and evaluating why I feel/view/react the way I do.  I challenge you to do #30daysofme too!

Day 7 - A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you

This post doesn't call for many words, but to choose only one picture was just too hard.  Someone who has had an enormous impact on me would be my brother David.  The pics below are of him!

 

Day 6 - Favorite super hero and why ..... ah, hang on, change of theme

I've been stuck on this post for days!  I was never really one for super heroes.  After googling and going through countless names and images, I still couldn't settle on one.  For this reason, I've changed today's topic!  Haha Take that!!!

So here goes:  "Two truths and a lie" - you can be the judge of which is which!

a)  I woke up during surgery on my right knee
b)  I started violin lessons when I was seven
c)  My photo was once on the front page of the NZ Herald
