Pretty productive!

I didn't blog last month (I think it's called laziness :-) and it was really time for an update!  So here we go!

Goal 10  -  Completed

This wasn't a very dificult goal, I am not so sure if that's a good thing though!
Anyway, below are the 10 things I don't like about myself and the challenge is now going to be to be more aware of that and try to change some of the things I don't really like!
1. My indecisiveness.
2. My lack of self discipline.
3. My weight.
4. My lack of self confidence.
5. That when I am moody I take it out on others.
6. My negativity sometimes.
7. My constant worrying about stuff.
8. That I don't contact my family as often as I should.
9. Not pushing myself hard enough at times.
10. Putting myself down towards others.

Goal 20  -  Completed

Now this one is a bit more fun :-) I got to write down 25 things that make me happy!  They are in no particular order and I could probably write another 100 so I haven't included everything!

17. Surprising someone and being surprised.
18. Planning something special.

Goal 57-59-61  -  completed

These 3 goals were completed in the same weekend! We went on a 4 day getaway to Margaret River and yes... it was very romantic! We actually saw the sunset twice together but the sunrises were a bit to early for our liking...
As for goal 59, I didn't actually give Neil a list of the things I like about him but I wrote it in his birthday card.  He looked at me funny and I had to convince him I was right...

Goal 66  -  Completed

This one is VERY exciting!! After 2 months of testing and many moments of nervousness and anxiety I finally got the call last Friday.  I've been selected to become a Juvenile Custodial Officer for the Department of Corrective Services!  On the 28th of September I will start a 3 months course at the academy and after that I will either work at Rangeview Remand Centre or Banksia Hill Juvenile Prison!!  After 6 years I am finally going back to where my heart belongs!!!  I am very excited and I can't wait to start learning!!

Goal 85  -  Completed

I went to the "we are what we do website" and picked 25 things to do for the environment.  Some were easy as I do them already and others were conscious decisions. They were small tasks like turning off the tap when you're brushing your teeth to shop locally. I enjoyed it and I go back to the website regularly now to do other tasks!
