music speaks what the soul feels #92 complete!

Well I can proudly say I learned how to download music for my ipod and found songs that get me moving and grooving!

I however have discovered I suffer from music bi-polar disorder. I never knew that I had as wide of a range in music love as I do, which is a good thing but it makes my play list a bit strange to say the least, lol.

May 2009 arthritis walk

March or April 2009 MS walk

Need to contact Arkansas Chapter for ovarian cancer http://www.ovarian.org/

Still would like to find one for cerebral palsy/epilepsy, and possibly breast cancer or another charity. I also need to find a run to do.

The next thing on my list....

I've completed a few things so need to do a quick update. It feels good to be moving forward when alot of my life seems to be sitting still or going backwards.


#10 is marked off the list as I sent Corey, my parents, my girls and ever their step-sibblings some just because treats! They all loved everything and made getting the mail a bit more pleasant then the normal bills we all tend to get to many of, lol.

#66 is also off my list! I decided enough of the frumpy look all the time and bought some makeup. I lost all of mine in TX some how/some where and haven't worn any for close to a year...or more. It felt nice to look how I feel inside.

#91 is one down and 32 more to go (and half of one of those is done). I just finished "The Next Thing on My List". It is a fun and very easy book to read. Becki loaned it to me just as I was writting my list for this project, very fitting for my life and this journey.

Changes...

As always my life is about change so now is no different. As many of you know I am going through a difficult time and some major changes are on the horizon because of this some of my goals will be changing....
but that's how life goes and how we grow!
From this I will become a bigger and better person, stronger and happier!
Life is a journey and it's all about accepting the ride you are given.


I have meet a few of my goals, and will update those in a few... just wanted there to be no shock when a goal is suddenly different from before.
