45 things

I turned 44 on June 18.  An uneventful day.  Lilia had a doctor appointment and I met my padres for lunch at our favorite birthday place....Puerta Vallarta.

Another year older.  Getting close to another hump.

This past year, at times I've felt that I have no purpose.  Well, I know I'm a mom, that's a given.  I provide for my children.  Home, food, love.  But days, months, years, go by and the 24 hour routine does not change.

And I forget about me.  What I want.  What's important to me.  I have no resentment to my choices or my family.  But I'm working to be more purposeful in what I do.

So I'm trying a new approach.  The summer list.  And my list of 45 things I want to do before my 45th birthday.  I did get the idea from Meg.  Who also inspires me.

So here it is.  My list.  Don't laugh.  It's long.  I created in while in a staff meeting (shhh!)  Changed it up a bit.  But it's in ink now.  I'm happy with it.

And at nearly a month gone by, I need to get busy.  Because I don't think washing windows, window tracks and screens (today's project) was on my list :)

Night.
