New Month, New Start...April Fools!

So....sometimes, life happens.  And sometimes, it happens a lot.  March was not as "productive" as I had hoped.  I was sick, hubs was sick, Spring Break was here, one thing, another thing...Doesn't that always seem to happen when you are really going along smoothly and getting things done? Here I was, last week, all ready to write a post about your goals and how sometimes life gets in your way and then....Life REALLY got in my way. I mean, one of those situations that takes over your life and consumes everything about it.  You know, when all hell breaks loose.  Appointments were cancelled, dinners weren't cooked, I didn't know what day it was...I am not even functioning properly, much less meeting my monthly goals.

Well...what can I say?  Sometimes life DOES happen.  And sometimes things happen that get you really off track of your goals and where you were going.  Ever been in the car and you have a detour and you wonder, how am I ever going to get back on the road I was on, none of this looks right? What should you do?

You can keep driving and hope the road looks familiar to you soon.  Or sometimes you might have to pull the car over and regroup.  At least, I hope that works, because that's what we did this weekend.  I slept a lot.  I cleaned my house a lot (this makes me feel like I have control over my life, I have learned this about myself!), I tried to relax and basically tried to get all of Team Holmes back on the same page.  My granny used to say "Sometimes you gotta pull yourself up by your boot straps". Granny, I am trying, Girl.

And here you thought I was gonna lecture you on meeting your annual goals.  Honey, I am having my own problems over here!  But...I reread my own goals this weekend.  I remembered where it is I wanted to be going before my detour and I spent some time thinking of the big picture.  I thought about which goals I really wanted to focus on this month.  And I am praying for the best.

It's a shame when you read your own blog for advice.  Last month I said, "it doesn't have to be a giant leap, but you do have to move."  I would like to add, "in the right direction".  Hoping your month has been "on track" and if not, you are not alone here.  Let's all keep moving forward.  Even if we had to pull over for a minute.

Summing Up Our Week...

Still Being Fierce in 2016, just slowed down for speed bumps!
