Love Where You're Going

Last week I had a post entitled "Love Where You Are." It had a pretty good response and a few friends even posted the link on their Facebook pages' to share the thought with those in their friend circle.

I'm always excited for a little blog buzz. However, one of them registered a comment that read something along the lines of "I'm thankful for a constant desire to improve myself and my surroundings." A witty quip, for sure, that played off of our thankfulness for our current situations.

Obviously this comment comes from a non-reader of Lost and Not Found, because any regular reader would know that I am all for bettering ourselves and our surroundings.  But he had a valid point.  While it's great to be content with where we are, we will only improve if we set goals and work for the future.

I'm thankful to be working toward:
Fitness
The US Marine Corp Mud Run
Increasing my biking distance
An Olympic distance triathlon
A half marathon
100 pounds lost and not found
Personal
Loving others as myself
Not using food to improve my mood
Re-reading the Bible in one year's time
Re-reading the entire Harry Potter series
Re-watching the entire West Wing series
Financial
Paying off my house
Purchasing my next car without a loan
Work
Learning about printing presses
Becoming a good manager

So, why don't you give a little love to where you're going and name your goals. Either here in the comments section (always encouraged!), to a friend or loved one or even just to your own journal. The point is determine what they are and then start working towards them. Ready, set, GO!
