Life goals

My sister with her 14 year old daughter came over to sort through the clothes and shoes that I've decided to handover. As my niece was trying on some dresses, a sense of nostalgia swept over us as we remember how svelte we were 20 pounds ago. Hehe.

Two piles were formed after the sorting.ritual. Pile number one are those that are readily wearable. Pile number two however were classified as "life goals". Yep! The clothes that you think will fit you once you give up some (or all) of your food and beverage binging. With a little (read as -a lot!) exercise and good amount of sleep. Haisst!  Easier said than done.

But then that's how life goes. We lose and we gain.  We fight but there are circumstances when we surrender for something that's better. We give more than we take as the sense of fulfillment is much greater. And we live to do good so that we can peacefully perish.

Nowadays, what I want to do are less complicated. I take things one day at a time. Cleaned my closet of unused clothes and shoes. Organized my things. I am learning how to draw by connecting the dots! Brushing up on my writing. Catching up on my reading. Things that I have not done for a long while as I have been traveling and working most of the time.

Funny how things play out just so that I may have simpler but equally enjoyable Life Goals.  ðŸ˜Š
