Being Thankful and Going Crazy at the same time. I cannot grasp the disciplines.
I'm starting this thread in the first week of 2025. Three years of struggle has put me in a spot of advantage. But now that I'm in that spot of advantage, I can't seem to take advantage of the time to make it more beneficial.
I think it's because I don't have a strong support group (other than here on 7-cups). And also, being 65 is slowing me down a bit when I still need to be going full steam.
The biggest deterrent to me is my brain going 9000 miles an hour about all the things that I wanna do and wanna get done. I simply exhaust myself. I have done so many things in the past three years to stay on track and push past obstacles and hardships that it's getting monotonous to keep trying and I wish I had the money that I could just stop and relax. But I can't, not even close! I may deserve a break but I am not entitled to a break. Bummer, right?
I have no choice but go strategically crazy for 2025.
If I do it right, I may set myself up with some residual income.

Day 7 of Week 5 of 2025
A day to reflect some of the things I got done this week.
But also, not to drop the ball and continue pushing in a forward direction. But today I hope to do it in a much more relaxed, acceptance type of mood.
I should be able to do this by reflecting on the things I did well this week.
I worked hard to fix my dump truck and even though the work itself was a fail, it sent me in a good direction for future improvement.
I did have a couple of (low) paying gigs but they were significant enough to really help out with the bills.
I also have enough work lined up for next week continue earning some money.
I did get my septic system working again.
I also did a pretty good job maintaining my core balance chores in physical therapy but I still need to try to do better in these areas.
The biggie for the week was completing all my financial paperwork. That was a huge relief.
I did all these things well last week and I am going to try to go through the day to prepare for next week by getting as much in order as i can today, to start Monday fresh. The big difference for today ismthat, I'm going to try to do it with a relaxed frame of mind. A form of acceptance throughout day, remembering, I did pretty well the past week.
I did sleep an extra 3 hours this morning without even trying. That felt really good. I will start the day cooking a 9# shoulder in the oven to cook all day!
