With Every Mile

Me love you long time

I'm alive.
I apologize for my absence.
Since my return I feel as though I've tried to do everything and in the end accomplished nothing.
My mind is going a million miles a second while my body take minutes to respond to a single thought or idea.
So much, oh so very much has been going on.
Where do I begin?
I feel as though I've neglected writing and in return neglected myself.
I've been doing so much, let me rephrase, trying to do so much that I haven't had the time to stop. Sit down. And reflect. I can't seem to do that even now- as I cook dinner, try to clean my fresh picked veggies, plan my weekend and type all at the same time. damn you 7 pm coffee.

Now. Where was I? Oh reflection, yes.
Since my return in mid January I've been up to no good... Come on- you know me- only doing good. I've been trying new things, everything from planting new vegetable, cooking new recipes, volunteering with new charities, running new trails, running with a new group, trying new restaurants, going to a new church, joining a new book club, blogging for new people, to even listening to new music and then working 40 hours a week.
The world is at my fingertips and I just can't stop grabbing at new opportunities.
What I need to do is STOP.
Seiriously Sawna, who do you think you are? Superwoman. Well, yes- actually I would like to say I am.
But I am not.

What I'm trying to say, what I am hoping this will accomplish- is to shine some light on my goals, things I want and need to accomplish relatively soon. I don't want my hand in so many pots that I half ass things that I want to do absolutely kick ass in. I need to focus on one thing, accomplish it and then move one.

So this is what I'm going to do. Right here. Right now.

Create a list.

This may seem so minuscule to you, dear reader, but in the whole scheme of things in assists me on what I need to do- say yesterday, actually last month.

1. Spend three hours in my garden. I feel as though three hours will suffice. Three hours to pull weeds, dead plants, any vegetables that are ready and re work the rest of the garden in order to prepare for the new planting season.
2. Write four pieces for new blog end send to k. Period. end of story.
3. Create new training plan! Half marathon or marathon this June?
4. Finish one book(I'm currently reading five- at once)

I think these are all reachable goals for this week. All have their own stories behind why they are my first to jot down. Basically things I have been slacking off on quite honestly.

My unwritten rule- is the write about it.
This serves as a journal, a notepad of things I do in my everyday life, or thing I have done that I just didn't have time to write about.

I'm here. Right now. And you bet your behind I'm ready.


No more lazy Sawna.... I'm running faster than I ever have- literally and figuratively.
So now. I need to sit down. Calm down. And eat dinner.

It's not the end. Only the beginning of what's already a great year!

Till next time,
Peace, love and happiness
