Not Giving up
Its the time of year, new years resolutions have been made and people may be deciding what to give up this year.
After what I can only describe as a disappointing 2017 with very few if any of my goals achieved I have decided to
NEVER GIVE UP
My ultimate stroke goal was originally to "get back to normal" aka Full Freaking Circle (I am also an obsessed Gilmore Girls fan). I am never going to achieve full freaking circle but I am okay with that as that going back to normal would entail going back. I am only interested in moving forward. I have decided though in order to keep getting better I really do need to keep full freaking circle in mind.
My life since my stroke has been goal after goal after goal. I have a feeling it is always going to have to be that way in order for me just to survive and have a fairly normal life.
My ultimate big goal was and is to complete a run to raise money for the Stroke and Physiotherapy ward that looked after me so well back in 2014. How do you thank people who help you walk again? I will be forever indebted to each and every person who helped to look after me during this time. Nothing was ever too much trouble. I could only walk with the aid of a stick last time I saw most of them. It is so important to me that I get to complete this run one day. I still have a weak left side and have still not got the strength that side to run....yet.
I have decided to sign up for a run this year (not the ultimate run) but its all about those baby steps. This will hopefully give me the kick I need to exercise harder and get that strength up. Even if I can't run on the day it will give me an idea of how it feels etc and how far off that goal I am.
Be Financially Independent -All I will say regarding this is I hope I am in a far better place at the end of the year than I am now. Sit back and watch me do this.
I want to be healthy but I also want to cook or bake something that I really fancy at least once a week using only recipes that I already have in cookbooks at home.
Read every book on my "to read" shelf that I have not got around to picking up yet.
Once a week watch a movie that is mentioned in Gilmore Girls
In a ideal world there wold be plenty of travel involved in this year but realistically - Visit as many different beaches as I can ( Luckily I live in Pembrokeshire so there are many close by)
Come on Jojo (My name is Jo by the way,Thank you for stopping by.) you can do this!!!
