Week 2

Well, it's officially week 2 of the new year. So far, I haven't lived up to my hopes for 2010, have you?

It's easy to blame the cold I had last week or the terrible back pains, but this morning I feel fine. Okay, so I'm a little bit tired from staying up too late reading Stephen King's newest book, Under the Dome, last night on my new Sony reader... but that's not really an excuse. This morning is the beginning of my 2010 in some ways since I was feeling ill most of last week.

So what are my daily goals?

• Write 2,000 words a day on "Pandemic" until the first draft is complete. (I'm basically committing the cardinal sin of writing today and pretty much tossing out the 30k words I've written on it so far and starting over. Ouch, but necessary.)
• Jazzercise, walk the dog, ride the stationary bike at least 10 minutes a day
• Work on my wedding website for at least an hour a day.

Three basic daily goals. Sounds so easy and so simple. At almost 33 years old, I should be able to do anything I set my mind to, but somehow that's been difficult for me the past several years. So much confidence lost. But it's never too late, is it? It's never too late to start working towards your goals again and to start becoming the person you wish you had the courage to be.
