Ah things I've already started to get farther along accomplishing. This year I dedicated most of my time from August - thanksgiving caring for 3 rescued starved stallions we were finally able to get to the horse rescue facility after the owner finally legally gave them up....before that I was recovering from major oral surgery.....so this year:

I talked to a man the other day who put me in touch with someone who digs post holes for the 108 huge massive fence posts I bought last January. Another step toward working on my farm....& getting my horse here from California & onto my own farm....my life long dream.

Getting my horse here is another expensive goal....2100 miles away, transportation cost starts at $1500.

I will also be helping to place one of our stallions into a home as he has chronic leg problems along with cribbing. He can only be a companion horse....something I could use if I had my horse here already.....our women's horse group is also getting involved with getting laws passed to protect our equines from abuse. Ky the horse capital of the world has no laws protecting the horses from abuse....so that as a group is one of our goals to work on.

Getting my divorce finalized...after leaving him 8 years ago. He has no desire to make a marriage work but has no desire to get a divorce....said once that a divorce would make him look like a failure....so what did my leaving him & never coming back make him look like everything comes down to my paying for everything because he is so financially irresponsible....will be glad to get that finalized but takes more money & I save up cash for EVERYTHING I do.

I like Blue bird's goal of reading the Bible through....along with more serious Bible studies that focus on God's word. I'm just trying to catch up on books I bought to read. It's hard to have a specific goal as I'm a slow reader.

One other goal I have this year is to give more time to my crafts. I bought some canvases to paint on & want to get back into beading & do the knitting I have beautiful yarn for. It all takes time.

Forgot also...enjoying my wonderful ballroom dancing lessons & want to do more of the extra activities many go to from my class....it has become like a family also.

I have so many activities I'm involved with & each group is like family to me....I need to balance & still be able to enjoy it all

Working on fixing up my house which is a chore....but bit at a time I'm getting to the things I bought to do. It's not easy being the only one living here with no money to hire things done...DIY is my life but I enjoy it.

Above all this..making sure I don't get so wrapped up in me that I don't take time to spend with the most valued friends I've ever had in my life. I truly love my life after all those years of struggling....there is life after 54....& it's better than I ever imagined it could be
