First of all, my apologies for not updating last week. With Pop Pop still hospitalized, many things have been pushed to the back burner, and last week, this blog was one of them.
Today marks the end of Week 10 of FinishYear! FinishYear is a term I'm using from Jon Acuff, a Christian blogger whom I follow regularly because he is both wise and hilarious! He suggested that we all challenge ourselves to make 2012 a year of finishing things, as opposed to starting new resolutions because let's face it, dreams are great and all, but unfinished dreams accomplish nothing. FINISHING changes your life, if not the world!
So, we're ten weeks in, and here's how I'm doing on the goals I designated for FinishYear.
-Finish Master's Degree: Over the course of the last two weeks, I've made up my presentation for my defense. I should have started practicing it and making up notes by now, but again, things have taken a backseat with my grandfather in the hospital. We are hopeful he will transition to rehabilitation this week and then I will have more time to work on this, because he will be in State College, as opposed to here in Hershey.
-Finish Health Psych Cert: This week was the ninth week of class, but we did not meet because it was Spring Break. YAY! Six more weeks to go. However, I completed the third element of our second discussion forum online last night and selected a prevention program to review for my Program Plan paper. I plan to print out the 65 page review today or tomorrow and begin digging through the material this week.
-Finish Scripture Index Cards: Again, really slacking on this one. I've been spending a lot of time reading my Bible, just not writing down verses because I'm getting stuck on the idea that I have to wait for a verse to really jump out at me before I write it in my little book for keeping. Wondering if I'm approaching this one the wrong way. Not sure, but I may need to re-evaluate this goal.
-Finish a letter to Karabo: This is a monthly goal, and I sent Karabo's birthday card. I hope he gets it in time, his birthday is in early April. I also got at Easter card in the mail from World Vision and plan to send that out to him this week, as Easter is also in early April this year.
-Finish a storage/classification system for clients' photographs: This week, I put another $12 in my envelope of savings for an external hard drive. I'm about halfway there!
In the end, it was an alright week for me. Honestly, these goals haven't been my priority this week. Spending time with Pop Pop and Gram in the hospital on a daily basis while they're this close has been my top priority, so some of these took a backseat, and to tell the truth, I'm OK with that. It's Finish YEAR, not Finish Month or Finish Season, so I'm not worried.
How's it going for you?
