Tales for Tuesday: Starting and Finishing

So I really do want to get back into my everyday - or at least my Monday through Friday blogging.  I have been getting bogged down with the everyday stuff.  So I haven't made time to blog.  And also with the bogging down - I need to sit down, pause, think, clear my head and write for a little while.  I think that it will be good for me.  And my mind.

So my Goals for this year.  I'm not going to abandon them this year.  The "first quarter" of the year was Start It.  I wanted to start some of those things that I was just putting off for one reason or another.  And the "second quarter," which we are already into, is to Finish It.  That stuff that I started, I want it to actually get done!  I still have lots of work to do in the house.  That nagging stuff.  Like those paint cans.  Still sitting there waiting for me.
I HAVE done..
...some reading - finishing the books that I was in the middle of and even starting some other ones.  It's not where I really want it to be, but I'm working on it.  Running - I ran a 5K in March.  It was so much fun; I do look forward to running another one, soon... I am glad to be back out running.  I ran in high school and loved it.  It's a little harder now, being older and most times running with a stroller.  But it's still that hard work fun that I loved before!
And the corners of clutter in every room.  I've attacked several of them.  One being the baby's outgrown clothes.  I've made "three" piles.  Donate, give to my friend (which has actually already been given!) and save for me.  I'm still trying to figure out HOW I'm going to save them (i.e. quilt, frame, special box).  But it's a reasonable amount that can be stored until I figure it out.  I have gotten my guitar out, managed to tune it somewhat and play a few chords.  Boy, I don't remember much.  I would like to fix that!  So my goal for the next few months is to finish all this stuff that I started.  Or wanted to start.  And just get it done once and for all.  This is stuff that's just been put off and put off.  And the time is now.  I'm tired of looking at it, thinking about it.  And I'm about to have someone that's going to be into everything.  So everything needs to have a place - at least for my sanity - if at all possible.
