missed goals

Today is my birthday. And I missed a major life goal. I had intended to retire by this time in my life at least 1 week out of each month. I have had some things that I'd hoped for that did not materialize. But nevertheless, I continue on. I will move toward that goal and hopefully soon be able to not work so many hours, nor have so many stressful things on my mind.

I've been here in the place before and thought that I'd learned my lesson and would never get so consumed again. But my business has consumed me and sometimes the responsibilities and pressures and stress seem unbearable. I will . . . by the grace of God . . .very soon . . . unchain myself from so much. I will get back to a place of life being more simple with fewer decisions and responsibilities to take my attention.

I have other priorities now and I want all the time I can have to pursue those.

I continue on.

As I have told my children, if you don't have a destination in mind, any road will take you to no where. I set the goal in front of me and continue on.
